But not all [cities](https://money.com/best-places-to-live/) are made equal when it comes to buying a cuppa joe.

While those numbers only apply to coffee purchased in the store and not pre-made coffee, the rising cost of beans means consumers felt the impact at the cafe, as well. An [agricultural report](https://www.rabobank.com.au/media-releases/2022/221117-global-food-price-volatility-to-remain-acute-in-2023/) from financial services company Rabobank predicts coffee prices will dip early this year, but not enough to overcome the historic highs consumer goods have reached amid inflation. However, the report also expects a better crop of coffee beans — weather permitting — in 2023, potentially providing higher quality coffee supply at lower prices. ```json { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "BreadcrumbList", "@id": "https://money.com/coffee-costs-most-least-expensive-cappuccino/#breadcrumb", "itemListElement": [ { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 1, "name": "Home", "item": "https://money.com" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "name": "Economy and Politics", "item": "https://money.com/economy-and-politics/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 3, "name": "Food Industry", "item": "https://money.com/food-industry/" }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 4, "name": "Here's Where Coffee Costs the Most (and Least) in the U.S." } ] }, { "@type": "WebSite", "@id": "https://money.com/#website", "url": "https://money.com", "name": "Money", "publisher": { "@id": "https://money.com/#organization" } }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://money.com/coffee-costs-most-least-expensive-cappuccino/#webpage", "url": "https://money.com/coffee-costs-most-least-expensive-cappuccino/", "name": "Here's Where Coffee Costs the Most (and Least) in the U.S.", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://money.com/#website" }, "datePublished": "2023-01-27T15:32:09.000Z", "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://money.com/coffee-costs-most-least-expensive-cappuccino/" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://money.com/coffee-costs-most-least-expensive-cappuccino/#breadcrumb" }, "dateModified": "2024-02-18T12:58:58.000Z" }, { "@type": "NewsArticle", "headline": "Here's Where Coffee Costs the Most (and Least) in the U.S.", "articleSection": "Economy and Politics", "image": [ { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.money.com/2023/01/News-Cheap-Expensive-Coffee-US-5.jpg", "width": 2880, "height": 1920, "caption": "News-Cheap-Expensive-Coffee-US" } ], "author": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Mary Ellen Cagnassola", "url": "https://money.com/author/mary-ellen-cagnassola/", "@id": "https://money.com/author/mary-ellen-cagnassola/#author", "description": "Mary Ellen (M.E.)
