It’s difficult to determine the exact number of coffee beans that Starbucks uses in a year as the company does not disclose this information publicly. However, we can make some estimates based on the available information.
According to Starbucks, they serve over 100 million customers per week across their 30,000+ locations worldwide. Assuming that each customer drinks an average of one cup of coffee per visit and that each cup contains around 18 grams of coffee, we can estimate that Starbucks uses approximately 1.8 billion grams (or 1,800 metric tons) of coffee per week.
Multiplying this figure by 52 (the number of weeks in a year) gives us an estimated annual consumption of around 93,600 metric tons of coffee. This equates to roughly 3.7 billion cups of coffee per year.
Of course, it’s worth noting that this is just an estimate and the actual number could be higher or lower depending on various factors such as seasonal variations in demand, changes in consumer behavior, and fluctuations in coffee prices.
How many coffee cups does Starbucks use a year?
There are different estimates of how many coffee cups Starbucks uses each year, but according to the search results I found, the number is around 6 to 7 billion disposable cups worldwide. However, one source suggests that Starbucks’ own website states they account for approximately 4 billion cups globally each year, which is slightly lower. It is important to note that the actual number may vary depending on the source of the information and the time period considered.

So, it is safe to say that Starbucks uses billions of disposable cups each year globally. Starbucks in recent years has taken measures to reduce their usage and promote the use of reusable cups.
How many coffee farms does Starbucks use?
Starbucks works with thousands of coffee farmers around the world to source the coffee beans used in their products. However, the exact number of coffee farms that Starbucks works with is not publicly disclosed, and may fluctuate from year to year as the company seeks out new partnerships and sources of high-quality coffee.
Starbucks has a dedicated team of coffee buyers who travel to coffee-growing regions around the world to select the best coffee beans from local farmers. They work closely with coffee farmers to establish long-term relationships and to ensure that the coffee beans are grown and harvested in a sustainable and responsible manner.
Starbucks also operates several farmer support centers in coffee-growing regions around the world, where they provide resources and training to help farmers improve the quality and sustainability of their coffee crops.
In summary, while we don’t have an exact number, we can say that Starbucks works with many coffee farms around the world and is committed to supporting sustainable and responsible coffee farming practices.
