Annually, a cup of joe every weekday in 2022 would cost someone in Providence, $1,071, which amounts to 1.80% of a resident's average annual income. The national average is $1,134 annually, amounting to 1.9% of the average income.
“Ever since the Boston Tea Party prompted a switch from leaves to beans, the United States has been running on coffee like it's our patriotic duty,” wrote Taelor Candiloro for Clever. "Americans drink roughly 656 million cups of coffee per day — in fact, U.S. adults reported drinking more coffee than bottled water last year."
"As cities gradually lifted COVID restrictions, out-of-home coffee consumption has increased 16% since January 2021, marking a near return to pre-pandemic levels,” Candiloro continued. “But with global shortages driving the price-per-pound of coffee to highs we haven't seen since 2011, it's a good time to decipher where coffee-lovers can get the best brew for their buck.”
