The expensive coffee phenomenon explodes in Italy, with the cup of espresso reaching increasingly higher prices in bars and in some cases double-digit increases compared to 2021. This is reported by Assoutenti, who has drawn up the official map of espresso prices in the main Italian provinces.
The national average price of coffee is now around € 1.10 compared to € 1.038 in 2021 (+ 5.92%) - says Assoutenti.
The palm of the dear-coffee belongs to Trentino Alto Adige, with the bars in Trento that sell the espresso consumed over the counter on average at 1.25 euros, 1.24 euros in Bolzano.
In Cuneo too, coffee costs 1.24 euros.
In 3 provinces of Emilia Romagna (Ferrara, Ravenna and Reggio Emilia) the espresso reduces the psychological threshold of 1.20 euros, as well as in Veneto (Rovigo and Venice), while in Padua and Vicenza the average price is 1 , 19 euros.
The cheapest coffee in Italy - Assoutenti warns - is the one served by the bars of Messina (0.89 euros), followed by Naples, a city where espresso is a historical tradition (0.90 euros) and by two Calabrian provinces ( Reggio Calabria and Catanzaro, € 0.92).
