With a staggering two million cups swigged every day, coffee has been named the most popular drink in the world. So loved is the beverage, that many connoisseurs seek out the best coffee spots during their travels for inspiration.

From the coffee beans of Costa Rica, to the concentrated espressos of Italy and coffee makers in luxury villa rentals around the globe, here we pluck out some of the top destinations for coffee-lovers.

In Costa Rica, coffee could be considered a religion. As the only country in the world that makes it illegal to produce anything other than 100% Arabica, it guarantees a premium cuppa every time.

You won’t have to venture far to find a well-rounded cuppa wherever you go. San Jose is home to some of the best cafes in the country. This includes Cafeoteca – a trendy spot that serves 23 different varieties of bean, and Cade del Barista, which boasts award-winning baristas to pour you a perfect espresso.

As you would expect, all the best luxury vacation homes have their own coffee and tea facilities, ensuring you can enjoy the local goods in the comfort of your home.

It’s hard to think of Italy, without thinking of its divine food and drink. From the humble latte to the much-loved cappuccino and espresso - we also have the country to thank for much of the coffee lingo we use today.

A leisurely cup of coffee is part of the way of life here, and how many start the day. When visiting, it’s just as much about observing the slower pace of life and watching the world go by, as it is the bean itself. Take a casual walk from your luxury home rental to any square, and it won’t take long to find a cafe.

However, the capital is one of the best destinations for food and drink lovers. When in Rome, be sure to visit Sant’ Eustachio, which has been brewing up beverages since 1938 and Antico Caffè Greco - the oldest coffee shop in the city (and second oldest in the country), which has been running since 1860.

Make no mistake, the French love their coffee. Paris is one of the foremost destinations for coffee-lovers, with its cobbled streets perfectly positioned for people watching with a coffee in one hand, croissant in the other - the quintessential way to start the day. This love of gastronomy extends to all parts of the country you visit, including the chic shores of Saint-Tropez. With its breezy promenades and ports, it’s the perfect place for dining out and enjoying the local café culture.

Le Senequier, near the port, is one of the most popular spots for knocking back a strong espresso. Within close reach of all the luxury villas in the area, it’s an easy spot to locate.

After a hard day on the slopes, there’s nothing quite like a hot drink of coffee to warm you up and keep you caffeinated. Although the après-ski is all about hot toddies and warmed ciders, you won’t look out of place with a cup of the brown stuff either. Ink Coffee is one of the local favorite spots, and within easy reach of nearby accommodation too.
