    Just for a bit of perspective: the average monthly salary in Switzerland is around $11000 so maybe $10 for a flat white is more affordable.

      If comparison against average monthly wage is your benchmark, it’s still proportionately cheaper in Australia with average monthly wage being $6,201.43 (i.e., >50% of $11,000, whereas the coffee price is <50% of $10.16).

      Average wages here are also higher than the majority of the countries above us on the average-coffee-price chart.

      I don’t trust the article.

      I recall having coffee and croissant in a Salzburg historic courtyard cafe for cheaper than the price of one in a shitty Aussie suburban location.
