The Espresso Index is an economic indicator used to measure the cost of a standard shot of espresso in different cities around the world. It can be useful for comparing the price level and cost of living in different places. This indicator helps to assess how much difference there is in prices for the same goods and services in different countries, reflecting purchasing power and inflation.
