Sad news, coffee lovers. Starbucks has announced it is raising the price of its coffee in most U.S. stores, reports CNBC. The company is raising the price of a regular drip coffee by 10¢ to 20¢ this week. That means a small brewed coffee will now cost you $2.15 instead of $1.95 in many locations. Starbucks also confirmed that overall the average price of its drinks increased 1% to 2% this past year. The only good news is that Starbucks says the price of drinks like lattes and iced coffees will remain unchanged in most stores.
