Philadelphia prefers the company's blonde roast, whereas New York likes the medium roast and Minneapolis the dark. Head to San Antonio or Los Angeles, and Frappuccinos are a hit. No surprise that southern states generally prefer cold drinks, while northern ones often prefer hot—but why does Boston love iced coffee so much? And why are Georgia and Alabama such fans of hot coffee? For the full map, visit Quartz. (More Starbucks stories.)
