Ten Dollar Coffee
If you’re planning on doing some world travel soon you may want to budget a little more for your daily coffee fix.
In a recent article published by Forbes, the top six most expensive cups of coffee in the world were listed. Now remember Americans, most of the western world drinks espresso based coffee when they go to a cafe, so I assume the prices are based on this type of coffee.
Here is a chart of the shocking figures based in USD.
| 1 | Moscow, Russia $10.19 |
|---|---|
| 2 | Paris, France $6.77 |
| 3 | Athens, Greece $6.62 |
| 4 | Beijing, China $6.28 |
| 5 | Berlin, Germany $5.15 |
| 6 | Tokyo, Japan $5.04 |
There is relief for some people living and traveling in Moscow. Starbucks recently opened some stores there boasting a cheaper than average latte price of $6.42. If, however, Starbucks manages to stay open there.
Here at home espresso coffees are cheap in comparison. Even in an expensive city like New York the average coffee is just $3.75.
Despite the recent financial woes of the USA, it is still a rather cheap developed country to live in. If you were living in New Zealand, as I am at the moment, you would spend over $7.00 a gallon at the gas pump and $5.50 for a gallon of milk!

that was different… Where do you get porcelain cat ears anyway?
I think maybe some one has had a little too much….. *cough* Poster 1 *Cough*
lol WTF @ jon caker’s post. But yeah, I try and tell my parents about how things are more expensive elsewhere and that they shouldn’t be complaining (even if 4 bucks a gallon IS ridiculous, it could be worse)
watch this and jon caker’s post might make more sense

loooooollllllllll
I remember when coffee was 200 dollars, that’s right, 30 dollars. It was so darn hard to get the 40 dollars i needed to buy a cup. Coffee doesn’t hurt my lungs because I drink it with a spoon, which is made of porcelain cat ears.
