The map below was created by the CashNetUSA blog SavingSpot to examine and compare the costs of a cup of coffee across countries worldwide. To generate these figures, SavingSpot selected five coffee shops from the capital city of each country and calculated the average price of an espresso, latte, and cappuccino based on data from Tripadvisor.
According to the findings, Seoul, South Korea, has the highest price for a cup of coffee at approximately $7.77, nearly four times more than in Vietnam. This amount would allow you to buy coffee every day for over two weeks in Tehran, the city with the cheapest coffee at just $0.46 per cup. Meanwhile, the average price for this beverage in the Iranian capital is $0.46. In the United States, specifically in Washington, coffee is sold for $3.77.
Statistics indicate that the Finnish consume 227 grams of coffee per week, totaling 12 kilograms per year per capita, more than any other country in the world. Since this figure is per capita, it includes children and non-caffeine drinkers, so the actual amount that coffee-loving Finns consume will be higher. For the people of this country, drinking eight cups of coffee in one day is entirely normal.
Additionally, neighboring countries such as Scandinavia and Norway also have quite high consumption rates, nearing 10 kilograms per person. Sweden ranks sixth with a consumption of 8.1 kilograms. Overall, Europeans seem to have a greater fondness for this beverage than any other continent. In the ranking of 25 countries, only five—Canada, Brazil, Cyprus, Lebanon, and the United States—are outside of Europe. The U.S. ranks 25th with a consumption of 4.2 kilograms per person per year.
