Do We Really Need Coffee Delivery?
Yes — when convenience is the point, not the treat
Coffee delivery hasn’t always been an obvious choice for daily routine. Today, it’s part of how cities work. Not because coffee changed, but because schedules got tighter, days got denser, and convenience became a real value.
Food delivery keeps growing, and drinks are increasingly ordered alongside meals rather than on their own. The UK food delivery market is projected to reach around £14.3 billion in 2025, having grown nearly 87 % since 2019, showing how delivery has become a routine part of everyday life (Lumina Intelligence). On top of this, nearly three-quarters (74 %) of Brits now use an app or website to order one to two on-the-go meals or beverages per week, including drinks like coffee and soft drinks(CI&T). Coffee delivery isn’t replacing café culture — it’s fitting around it.
Fact 1: Coffee delivery isn’t for every moment
Coffee is a routine-driven choice. That’s part of its strength and also its limitation in delivery. Ordering a single cup often doesn’t feel worth the extra steps or cost. In many neighbourhoods, walking into a nearby café is still the fastest option.
This is why coffee delivery tends to be selective. It’s not about everyday habits, but about specific situations. People don’t replace their morning walk, they choose delivery when leaving isn’t convenient, efficient, or practical.
Fact 2: Delivery works best when coffee isn’t alone
Where coffee delivery makes the most sense is in combination. With dessert, as an add-on to lunch, or for multiple people — this is how coffee is most often ordered. Delivery platforms support combined and multi-stop orders, making it easy to add coffee without placing a separate request.
There’s also a scale factor. Ordering coffee for a team — six, eight, or ten cups — is very different from ordering for one. In those moments, delivery becomes less about indulgence and more about logistics.
Fact 3: Coffee delivery is about efficiency, not replacement
That’s why we have launched X° Robusta coffee on Fantuan Delivery this week. Not as a substitute for cafés, but as a practical option for busy workdays, meetings, and shared moments.
Coffee delivery isn’t competing with the ritual, it supports the reality. When time is limited, teams are together, or stepping out isn’t possible, delivery becomes the most efficient choice. Sometimes the best coffee decision is simply the one that keeps your day moving.
