Not ready to focus until you’ve had that cup of joe? You’re not alone in this city. Bundle, a site that helps its users track spending, crunched some anonymous credit card data and the number of coffee shops in various cities to determine how residents spend on their daily fix of caffeine. (You can read more about the author’s methodology here.)
While Chicago is the most dependant on coffee, with its spending coming in at 2.94 times the national average, the Washington metro area comes in at number six, spending 1.86 times the national average.
