In 2010, people in Sydney had to pay $2.8 for a coffee cup, which was the most expensive among six cities. Four years later, it has climbed to $3.17 for a coffee drink. Melbourne’s coffee cost was the second-highest with a price of $2.4 which then had surged to $2.9 by 2014. The price of this beverage in Brisbane remained unchanged during four years.
Turning to Canberra, Adelaide and Perth where the cost of a coffee cup was the lowest of the table. Canberra drinkers could enjoy coffee with only $1.6 for a mug in 2010, and then increasing by more than 6% in 2014.
