7-Eleven’s famous (or infamous, depending on your taste) $1 coffees are the latest victim of soaring inflation pressure after the convenience giant announced it would increase the price of a cuppa by 100% to $2.
7-Eleven Australia announced the news in a Facebook post, confirming the price increase for the regular-sized coffee would roll out on Tuesday, October 4, the first such hike since 2009 (a large will cost $3, and a super will cost $3.50).
“We are proud of our iconic freshly ground coffee, but to keep pouring you the same quality cupful that we all know and love, we will have to increase the price in October this year, for the first time in 13 years,” the post read.
