Introduction

The table provides information about the number of coffee sales made by a café located in an office block during a regular weekday.

Overview

At a general level, it can be seen that the coffee shop experiences two peak sales periods during the day, with a noticeable decline in the late afternoon. Additionally, the type of coffee sold varies significantly throughout the day.

Body 1

In the morning, from 7-8:30 am, the café sells a substantial number of espressos, cappuccinos, and lattes, with espressos being the most popular. This trend continues until midday, albeit with a slight decrease in the number of espressos sold. During these hours, the number of lattes sold also surpasses the number of cappuccinos, making it the second most popular choice.

Body 2

In contrast, the afternoon sees a significant drop in sales across all types of coffee, with the lowest sales occurring from 4:30-5:30 pm. Interestingly, during this period, the number of lattes sold is almost equal to the number of espressos, while cappuccino sales remain the least popular throughout the day.
