“…As previously mentioned, Salathe (1979) pointed out that race was a key factor affecting household demand for coffee in the United States. Heien and Pompelli (1989) demonstrated that demographic factors such as region, race, education of the household head, number of children in the household, and household size influence household demand for coffee.…”

“…Sarkar (1972) also suggested that the age composition and the racial make‐up of the population may be important in the demand for beverages. Using data collected from the 1965 to 1966 USDA Food Consumption Survey, Salathe (1979) found that differences in racial composition reduced US coffee demand by about 0.7% between 1980 and 1990. In addition, Shapiro et al (1985) posited that life‐style trends may influence the demand for coffee.…”

A cross‐sectional analysis of the demand for coffee in the United States

The purposes of this study were to develop a profile of households who purchase coffee, to determine the socioeconomic determinants of the demand for coffee by US households, and to update the own‐price, cross‐price, and income elasticities of demand for US households. The profile suggests to targeting wealthier households, households without children living in the household, older households, white households, and households located in the Pacific region and in New England. The own‐price elasticity of −1.93 indicates that the demand for at‐home purchases of coffee is elastic. Tea is a substitute for coffee. Given the income elasticity of 0.20, changes in household income are not likely to have sizeable impacts on at‐home coffee consumption. Nevertheless, coffee is a necessity in economic parlance. The source of data for this analysis was the NielsenIQ pertaining to 61,380 households for calendar year 2015. [EconLit Citations: D1, D9, D12].

“…Several previous studies pointed out that demographic characteristics such as sex, age, household size and education, share some responsibility in explaining the pattern of household food consumption (Huang & Raunikar, 1978;Salathe, 1979). Additionally, family composition, lifestyles, and other non-economic factors may have affected food consumption patterns.…”

“…They found that as household size increases the total food budget increases, but food spending per person decreases (Morgan, Johnson, and Burt, 1983;Peterkin, 1972;Ritzmann, 1982;Rizek and Peterkin, 1979;Salathe and Buse, 1978; Sexauer and Mann, 1979a; Smallwood, Blaylock, and Zellner, 1981;West and Price, 1976). Singleperson households have the highest per capita expenditures for food at home, although the difference in per capita expenditures between single-person and larger households varies by food commodity group (Peterkin, 1972;Ritzmann, 1982;Salathe, 1979a). On the average, single-person households spend 25 percent more per person for food at home than do larger households (Sexauer and Mann, 1979b).…”

Households surveyed in the 1977–78 USDA Nationwide Food Consumption Survey were classified as either single‐person or multi‐person households, and the use of convenience and nonconvenience foods by each household size was studied. Trends in food use, based on share of the home food dollar spent on different types of foods, were similar for single‐person and for larger households. Both groups allocated the largest share of the home food dollar, slightly over half, to nonconvenience foods. Major demographic factors affecting convenience and nonconvenience food use were similar for the different household sizes. Nonconvenience foods contributed more nutrients than convenience foods for both single‐person and larger households, and levels of most nutrients were positively associated with the share of the home food dollar allocated to non convenience foods. In many cases nutrient levels were negatively associated with the share of the home food dollar spent on convenience foods.
