  keep in mind that this is in gallons per capita, not in grams coffee beans or in a caffeine equivalent. So the stats may be misleading: People in 1960 would drink filter coffee. Today, they may take an espresso. Roughly same amount of ground coffee per cup, but less liquid. Then again, the stats for coffee beans per capita may trend in the same direction. We have other sources of caffeine today: You may drink a coke instead of a coffee when you're feeling sleepy.
