Asia
On the Asian continent, Qatar and South Korea stand out, having the most expensive coffee on the continent and globally, at $6.79 and $7.71 respectively.
In contrast, Iranians have the lowest price in the world at just $0.45 per cup. One factor that could explain this low value is that Iranian residents are more representative of tea than coffee and therefore consume it more frequently, letting coffee take a back seat.
You should also keep in mind that Asia is home to many Muslim cultures, where coffee is a symbol of friendship and hospitality.
