AK Preismonitor: Coffee prices jumped 72%!

Have you ever wondered why a cup of coffee at your favorite Vienna café suddenly costs so much more? Inflation is biting, and one of the most striking examples is the rise in coffee prices. According to the latest AK Preismonitor, this invigorating drink has become 72% more expensive!

Why has coffee become so expensive in Austria?

Rising raw material prices: Global coffee bean prices fluctuate due to weather conditions, political instability in producing countries, and market speculation. As ORF.at reports, climate change and droughts in major coffee-growing regions have led to crop failures.

Higher energy costs: Roasting, transport, and preparation all require energy. Rising gas and electricity prices directly impact the final cost.

Logistics problems: The pandemic disrupted supply chains, increasing transport costs.

Inflation: General inflation in Austria increases labor, rent, and other operating costs for coffee shops.

What is the AK Preismonitor?

The AK Preismonitor is a tool used by the Chamber of Labor to track prices of various goods and services in Austria. It helps consumers navigate the market and identify unjustified price increases.

How does this affect consumers?

The price increase directly hits consumers’ wallets, especially those who enjoy daily coffee in cafés. Consider comparing prices, buying whole beans, brewing at home, or using alternative methods like French press.
