Coffee in Russia an expensive treat
Date:27/08/2008
Written By:Laura
The former capital of the communist Soviet Union may soon be known as the death knell for the caffiene addict.

A survey by US company Mercer found that Moscow is the most expensive place in the world to buy coffee - a cup will cost an average US$10.19 a cup.

The figures come from Mercer's annual cost of living survey, which coveres 143 cities, 6 continents, and the relative price of more than 200 items and services including housing, transport, food, entertainment and clothing. The survey found that coffee is expensive across Europe, costing an average US$6.77 in Paris and US$6.62 in Athens.

For those who can't live without caffiene, the cheapest cups can be found in Buenos Aires (US$2.03/cup) and Johannesburg (US$2.36). The annual survey, designed to help businesses manage the costs of overseas workers, only indexes 'stores of international standard, frequented by expatriates' - so travellers may try cheaper fare, but at their own risk!

Here is the area where we help you stay up-to-date.

Coffee is one of those topics where everybody has an opinion. Finding a way to keep abreast of the news that shapes those opinions is one of the issues that face our company. We end up receiving quite an interesting flow of coffee related news articles from around the world each month.

You have two ways of accessing Gilkatho’s coffee news.

During the month we post interesting news articles to this News area to keep our customers and our internal staff up-to-date. Our staff are encouraged to submit articles which they think would be suitable for wider distribution. These articles are available on the website and can be ‘searched’ though the search engine.

At the end of each month we bundle up the most interesting articles and email them to our subscribers in our free newsletter – The Coffee Pot. The newsletter subscription is free and also often includes details of special offers available in your area. This method is suitable for busy people who do not always have the time to check back at the Gilkatho site.

Making these resources available through our website is a key part of our business – helping our clients stay up-to-date with the coffee world.
