How much do YOU spend on buying coffee each year? Use our eye-opening calculator to find out…

Buying a coffee each morning could set you back £1,092 a year.

That is according to the Daily Mail’s eye-opening calculator, which tots up how expensive your caffeine fix is.

Our tool is built using the latest prices from Britain’s best-loved chains, such as Starbucks, Pret and Caffe Nero. 

Even buying just three coffees a week, whether a latte or cappuccino, will deprive you of £600 over the course of a year.

Making your own instant coffee can be much more cost effective, with a 150g jar of L’or costing around £7 at the supermarkets.

Depending on how strong you like it, you’ll probably get around 40 to 50 cups from the one jar.

So if you have two cups a day, five days each week, you’ll need to buy around 10 jars over the year – around £70 a year.

Nowadays there are an estimated 34,000 coffee shops in Britain.

Branded stores number around 11,500, with Costa being the biggest of the go-to chains. 

Smaller, independent roasters total slightly more at 12,400. 

There are around 10,600 non-specialist outlets – places that sell coffee but not as their primary offering, according to research conducted by Allegra, which runs the World Coffee Portal – described as the industry’s ‘Bible’.
