Our £2,110 a year coffee shop bill

BRITONS each spend £2,110 a year in coffee shops, research has found – about 8 per cent of the average £27,000 salary.

We visit a coffee shop around 152 times – almost three times a week – and each trip costs us £13.85, including transport.

And the average visit lasts 93 minutes, according to a survey of 1,036 by Research Without Borders.

Britain’s biggest coffee drinkers are in the South West, spending £9.62 each time, followed by East Anglia on £9.27, Yorkshire on £9.14 and the North West on £9. Londoners spent less at £8.47, while the North East was the lowest, at £7.39.

The average bill was £8.52, but 78 per cent said they spent £5.33 on getting to and from the shop, making the total £13.85.

The research also found four in five of us spend part of the day actually doing our jobs in a coffee shop on phones, laptops and tablets. The survey showed a cappuccino was the most popular drink, followed by a latte.
