You'd think identical items at chain restaurants would be worth the same amount of money no matter where you are, right?

Not so. Personal finance blog SavingSpot created data visualizations that show how much a tall latte from Starbucks costs in different states and countries. They also ranked the most and least affordable lattes by their price as a percentage of median daily income in different countries.

Below, you'll find an interactive table and chart, followed by maps that illustrate the price of a tall latte from Starbucks around the world. (And, just for good measure, there's a chart showing the most expensive Starbucks products in the world at the end.)

    I can't believe a Starbucks latte costs that much in Switzerland. I know prices are high there in general but Starbucks has a hub in Lausanne where they route all their beans through. You'd think that would make it cheaper...

      Huh? That doesn't make any sense. Maybe routing all of the bean transactions through Lausanne, but neither the sources, nor most of the destinations, of Starbucks beans are not anywhere near Switzerland. Ergo it doesn't make financial sense to "route all their beans through" Lausanne.

        Yeah I don't fully understand the logic behind it. Reading this from a Starbucks press release:
        "The store in Zurich Central was not only the first Starbucks coffeehouse in Switzerland โ€“ it was the first in mainland Europe as well. Worldwide, all Starbucks coffee houses are furnished with coffee machines manufactured by the Swiss company Thermoplan. Starbucks also chose Switzerland as the hub for its purchasing of coffee beans. Located in Lausanne, the Starbucks Coffee Trading Company is responsible for purchasing all of the coffee that is served in Starbucks around the world. "

        The ppl in the company who purchase beans operate out of Lusanne: http://www.starbucksmelody.com/2010/10/10/time-to-visit-starbucks-in-switzerland-centralbahnplatz-in-canton-basel/

    No more bean squeezings for our Communist PALS in Russia.
    Maybe they can brew up some Putin Pellets!

    one could prepare treats at home much more cheaply and not deal with single-use trash.
