In Russia, a sizable share of workers relies on caffeine to begin the day. A study by the Rabotu.ru service, reviewed by Socialbites.ca, shows that one in three Russians cannot start the workday without a cup of coffee. The finding highlights coffee as a daily routine for many professionals, shaping morning productivity and mood across different workplaces.
The study reveals that 16 percent of participants prefer tea while 5 percent opt for plain water. Nearly half of those surveyed, 46 percent, report never drinking coffee before starting work. These figures underscore a broad spectrum of morning rituals, ranging from hot beverages to no beverage at all, with coffee occupying a central role for a sizable portion of the workforce.
Gender dynamics emerge in the data as well. Women are nearly twice as likely as men to want a refreshing drink at work to kick off the morning. Specifically, 41 percent of women and 21 percent of men stated this preference, suggesting a noticeable difference in morning routines that could reflect comfort, energy needs, or social habits in the workplace.
When it comes to daily coffee intake, the survey shows a spread across several tiers. Twenty-two percent drink one cup per day, thirty percent need two servings, and twenty-four percent are satisfied with three. Fourteen percent consume coffee four times daily, while ten percent report five or more cups. This distribution illustrates diverse caffeine habits that could influence appetite, alertness, and work performance throughout the day.
Home routines dominate as the starting point for many Russians. A strong 74 percent begin their workday with a refreshing drink at home, while 61 percent choose coffee to kick off the morning alongside colleagues at work. A smaller share, 9 percent, takes a beverage to the office, and 7 percent rely on nearby cafes or coffee shops for their morning caffeine fix. These patterns reflect both domestic rituals and social workplaces where coffee is a shared experience.
The survey’s broader implications point to the role of coffee and other beverages in energy management and daily calorie strategies. Drinking coffee before meals has been noted to reduce overall calorie intake for some individuals, a finding that aligns with common observations about appetite and metabolism. Across the population studied, beverage choices appear to influence not only energy levels but also the pace and tone of the workday, shaping productivity and mood in tangible ways.
