CONTEXT

The Canadian coffee market is experiencing rapid expansion, driven by a significant transformation among coffee lovers. They are no longer content with just a simple cup; they are becoming informed connoisseurs, motivated by the search for the best options and methods to enjoy quality coffee.

The democratization of knowledge, accompanied by a diverse offering, is redefining the role of consumers, transforming them into home baristas.

OBJECTIVES

At the heart of this study, conducted by Édika at the end of 2023, lies a clear objective: to understand the nuances of the preferences, consumption habits, and purchasing behaviors of Quebecers and Canadians.

The ambition is to paint a comprehensive picture of the current situation, thereby offering decision-makers a clear vision to anticipate opportunities and effectively respond to the challenges of a constantly evolving market.

COFFEE, HABITS AND CONSUMPTION

At the heart of the analysis of Canadians' coffee preferences lies a vibrant picture of the market, driven by a marked passion for full-bodied coffees. This inclination highlights the interest in continuing to explore and promote robust taste profiles within its catalog. The fusion of this preference with the association of coffee with pleasure underscores the transformation of coffee into an engaging and memorable sensory experience for Canadian consumers.

EQUIPMENT, PURCHASES AND PREFERENCES

The type of equipment purchased and the associated criteria provide crucial information for driving sales arguments.

The frequent purchase of espresso machines in big box stores, combined with a general preference for simple appliances and standard coffee makers, highlights the need to maintain a diversified offering while emphasizing product simplicity, quality, and reliability.
