Coffee making VS. Bitcoin Electricity consumption ( bitcoin uses 1/4 of the usage of making coffee globally?? )

If you don't mind bearing with me on this thought experiment, I just had the idea of trying to figure out how much electricity coffee-making uses Globally compared to the Bitcoin Network (Also Globally).. funny right ? lets try ?

I just looked up that it takes around 0,5 kWh to make a cup of coffee in general. To me, it seems a little excessive, but maybe it takes into consideration the whole process from bean to cup of coffee. can anyone help to verify this?

When asking our brave friend Google, there are around 2,25 billion cups of coffee consumed per day in the world.

This simple piece of math brings us to the result 0,5 kWh x 2,25 billion = 1,125 Billion kWh or 1,125 Tera Watt Hours per day ... this brings the yearly usage to 410 TWh per year to make coffee for all of us. aka. 410.000.000.000 KWh -

Further on in my little Google adventure, I read that it is estimated that The Bitcoin Network uses 127 TWh per year. so around 1/4 compared to coffee.

This leads me to my final question; Is coffee a necessity for the human race, or could we function in a world without coffee? should we shut down BTC? would you give up coffee for BTC? or is this experiment just plain and simple stupidity ;)

If Bitcoin consumes 1/4 of the electricity of making coffee per year, who is destroying our planet the most, your morning coffee or Bitcoin?

THIS WAS JUST A THOUGHT EXPERIMENT, IM AM HAPPY TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS, CORRECTIONS AND OPINIONS ON THIS SUB :)) Thanks
