Prices: it is expensive-breakfast, coffee at the bar for 1.50 euros

(ANSA) - ROME, JANUARY 15 - The "expensive breakfast" breaks out in Italy.

This was reported by Assoutenti, who reported an increase in the prices of leopard-print coffee, cappuccino and croissants in bars.

The association reports that the prices of coffee increased by 81% in 2021, those of milk by 60%, those of sugar and cocoa by 30%.

Higher costs to the merchants who, inevitably, are discharged to final consumers, and are giving rise to the phenomenon of "expensive breakfast" throughout Italy.

To this must be added the announced increases in electricity and gas bills.

Thus coffee in some cases reaches 1.50 euros per cup with a 37.6% increase.
