According to the ranking website Clever Real Estate, Milwaukee is the coffee capital of the USA.
According to their research, Milwaukee reigns supreme at balancing affordable coffee with a growing coffee scene.
Because of the relatively low cost of living, new coffee faces can break out onto the scene more easily, and provide a custom experience for their customers.
Importantly, the average cappuccino only costs $3.56 here which is .80 cents less than the national average, and residents spent 1.5% of their annual income on their weekday cup of jo.
That computes to less than $1000 per year ($926 to be exact). Only five cities in the country came out at under $1000.
There are also 12 coffee shops per capita in Milwaukee, offering plenty of variety for latte-loving residents.
Other standout cities for affordable coffee are Buffalo & Cincinnati.
