Coffee growth is coming from coffee on the go. 

What does"coffee on the go"mean?  "take-away coffees"  from places such as "Starbucks" - coffee you buy to drink elsewhere.


Sales from restaurants - including Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, and Macdonald's, which carry premium brews - grew at a compound annual rate of 15.2% from 2001 to 2006

What does the"carry premium brews"mean?  They sell good quality coffee.
