Global prices for a barista brew, compared

Up 70% so far this year, coffee prices have been smashing records, turbo-charged by a perfect storm of factors. Today, the cost of arabica beans, the world’s most popular variety, is at a near-50-year high, with experts warning it could take years for the price to fall meaningfully.

Whether you're partial to an espresso, a skinny cappuccino or a pumpkin spice latte, you've probably become accustomed to paying through the nose for your daily caffeine fix. But costs do differ dramatically from country to country.

Using data from Numbeo, the world's largest cost of living database, read on to discover the average price of a cup of coffee in 35 selected nations, based on the typical cost in the capital or other major city.

All dollar amounts in US dollars. Prices correct as of December 2024.
