In 2019, American coffee drinkers had roughly 0.23 cups of decaffeinated coffee per day. Decaffeinated coffee consumption in the United States fluctuated between 2011 and 2020, reaching its peak in 2017 when Americans drank roughly 0.4 cups of decaf per capita per day.
Decaf consumption by ethnicity
In January 2020, Americans from varying ethnic backgrounds were asked if they had consumed decaffeinated coffee the day before. About 12 percent of Hispanic-American respondents had, making them the largest group of decaf coffee drinkers. Asian Americans formed the smallest group that year.
Types of coffee
Decaf was one of the least consumed types of coffee in the United States. When asked about the kind of beverage they had drunk in the past day, only about ten percent of U.S. respondents stated they had a cup of decaffeinated coffee during this timeframe. About 44 percent of Americans had a cup of traditional coffee, while roughly 24 percent had espresso-based beverages. In the same year popular non-espresso-based coffee beverages included frozen blended and cold brew coffee. 13 percent of U.S. consumers had drunk frozen blended coffee for their past-week consumption, while 12 percent opted for cold brew.

The National Coffee Drinking Trends, beginning in 2012, includes a representative sample of Hispanic Americans and African-Americans. Comparisons to years prior to 2012 must be made with caution, since the panel enhancement dictates technically that tracking be viewed as directional only.
