Great chart, everyone loves an infographic! Three points of constructive criticism:
1, Yearly sales: surely this is 000s of pounds? I can’t believe the UK as a whole spent less than £1m on tea and coffee in 2007!
2, Yearly sales: the 2007 bar chart for coffee looks <£200k, whereas the text on the right says £270k.
3, Most caffeinated beverages: Pie charts are evil. I can't understand why you've used one – what does the total pie represent? This information would have been clearer by combining the tea and coffee bar charts.
I have a beef with this chart. Sure, everything on there is neat to see in one place; pretty graphics are pretty. But the chart of caffeine content is basically meaningless: caffeine per cup? Does that mean 1 cup (which equals 8 US fluid ounce)? Or does it mean one “serving,” which can be one of any sizes (6 oz, or Starbucks “tall” 12 oz)? What about espresso, since it’s common knowledge that espresso has higher caffeine per unit volume than coffee; is this 8 US fl oz of espresso? Or one “shot,” which is 1 US fl oz? It looks like you mean one shot, but without the serving size of _anything_ listed, it’s rather meaningless. I’d love to see a revised chart with relevant serving sizes, especially coming from an insurance site!
Well, both coffee and tea has caffeine but commonly coffee has more caffeine than coffee.

Hi Jonathan,
Thanks very much for your comments. I have passed your feedback to the team and we’re now looking into making the data clearer.

Hi Ben,
Many thanks for your feedback. We will review the chart and hopefully be able to make it clearer.
