Costa Coffee has joined the growing list of companies to increase prices during the cost of living crisis. Affecting its 12,000 self-service Costa Express machines across the UK, the company puts these price rises down to "inflationary pressures", as the Mirror reports.
Thirsty customers will have to fork out even more for many of the chain’s favourite hot drinks, although costs do vary by location. On average, the price of a regular drink has risen by 20p (from £2.50 to £2.70) while a large drink has seen a 15p increase (from £2.70 to £2.85).
The cost of a regular cappuccino or latte has gone up to £2.70, with a large size of both drinks now priced at £2.95. A regular hot chocolate has followed the standardised price rise - now costing £2.70 - while the large edition now sets people back £2.95 - up from £2.80.
