One cup of coffee = xxx litres of water

I drink far too much coffee and keep saying that I should quit drinking it or at least drink less. But just saying that is as absurd as I would say tomorrow I will become Afro-American. I cannot, I won’t, it’s just not gonna happen.

But in these green times I should really reconsider. Do you know how much water is used to produce just one cup of coffee? 220 litres! The coffee plant, just like cotton, is very water demanding (a pair of jeans is equal to 11.000 litres of water).

Before was excessive alcohol use something to be ashamed of and people tried to hide their red wine in coffee cups. These days one must fear being regarded as environmental pig, are people putting their coffee in wine glasses now?
