The cost of a cup of coffee in Kuwait is among the most expensive in the world with a cuppa costing on average KD1.720, around US$5.71 per cup. Despite the relative expensiveness of coffee, average per capita consumption of the beverage is 3.1 kilograms annually.
The cost of a cup of coffee in Kuwait places the country in the top-ten bracket of the world’s most expensive countries for coffee. Four other countries in the Middle East — Qatar, Lebanon, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia — are among the 10 most expensive places in the world to drink coffee. In stark contrast, Turkey and Iran, the two neighboring countries, provide coffee at the cheapest prices in the world.
Although tea is the main traditional drink throughout Asia, the growth of coffee shop culture, particularly in the Middle East, has led to an increased demand for the beverage across the region. In this regard, South Korea is where you will have to pay the highest for your Java with the average price of a cup being $7.77, while in Tehran one will find the cheapest price at $ 0.46 for a cup of coffee.
Meanwhile, Luxembourg was found to be the largest consumer of coffee in the world, consuming 11.1 kilograms per person per year. In contrast, India, Nepal, and Pakistan are among the countries with the least consumption of coffee at barely 0.1 kilogram per capita per year.
