Coffee history in Belgium

Belgium is a mature coffee market: 8+ kg coffee/person/year (3rd in Europe). Filter coffee dominated until the 1990s. The rise of capsules (Nespresso, Senseo) in the 2000s, then the specialty wave since 2010 (MOK Brussels, Or Noir Liège, Café Liégeois, Java). Brussels is now one of Europe's specialty coffee capitals.
