Caffe Nero has ratcheted up the cost of a large latte from £3.30 last summer to £3.80 today. Large cappuccinos are also up 50p, from its Manchester Piccadilly branch.

Meanwhile, Costa says "increasing costs" are behind its price hikes. Last year a large latte or cappuccino was £3.85 at its Westminster Underground station in London, but this year the same drink costs £4.15.
