(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 28 - The dear-coffee phenomenon explodes in Italy, with the cup of espresso reaching ever higher prices in the bar and in some cases two-digit increases compared to 2021. This was reported by Assoutenti, who drew up the official map of espresso prices in the main Italian provinces.
The national average price of coffee is now around 1.10 euros compared to 1.038 euros in 2021 (+ 5.92%) - says Assoutenti.
The palm of expensive coffee belongs to Trentino Alto Adige, with Trento bars that sell espresso consumed over the counter for an average of 1.25 euros, 1.24 euros in Bolzano.
In Cuneo too, coffee costs € 1.24.
In 3 provinces of Emilia Romagna (Ferrara, Ravenna and ReggioEmilia) 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 EUR.
The cheapest coffee in Italy - Assoutenti warns - is the one served by the bars of Messina (€ 0.89), followed by Naples, the city where espresso is a historical tradition (€ 0.90) and by two Calabrian provinces (Reggio Calabria and Catanzaro, € 0.92).
