In addition to the cheapest Starbucks coffees, the ranking also revealed the most expensive states for a caffeine boost.  

Vermont was found to be the most expensive state to get a coffee at Starbucks, averaging $5.73 per cup.  

Wyoming is the second most expensive at $5.72 per coffee, while South Dakota is the third most costly at $5.27.  

Speaking on the findings, a spokesperson for Pricelisto said:   

“Price differences for products like Starbucks coffee across different states can be intriguing to look at.  

“A reason why prices may differ could be due to states having higher sales taxes or additional levies on certain goods, which can affect the final price consumers pay for their coffee.   

“Another important factor for price variations is the difference in the cost of living among states. States with higher costs of living, such as California or New York, tend to have higher prices for goods and services, including coffee.”
