Coffee may be the brown, bean-y elixir of life, but it certainly does come at a price.
So, to help you spend your dolla more wisely, we've jotted down how much some of coffees in the city are – to give you a better idea of how much you're spending, before you spend it.
The chosen ones below have been picked from our top 10 coffees in Dublin in 2015, and then put side-by-side with a selection of locals and franchises to compare.
We've picked the cost of an Americano and Flat White to demonstrate the range – other popular options, such as the cappuccino and latte, usually (but not always) fall within these brackets. All coffees on this list are regular, and don't include deals.
We'll start with the original list...
Read 'em and weep, fellow coffee slaves.
