Mammoth Coffee will increase the prices of its iced Americano and iced decaf Americano starting next month. However, the prices for hot Americano and large (L) size Americano will remain unchanged.
On July 28, Mammoth Coffee announced that it will raise the prices of iced Americano and iced decaf Americano by 200 won each, effective August 11.
As a result, the price for a small (S) iced Americano will rise from 1,200 won to 1,400 won, while the medium (M) size will increase from 1,600 won to 1,800 won. The small size of iced decaf Americano will go up from 1,900 won to 2,100 won, and the medium size will increase from 2,300 won to 2,500 won.
In contrast, the prices for the basic hot Americano and large (L) iced and hot Americano will remain frozen.
Mammoth Coffee cited rising ingredient costs and various operational expenses as the reasons for the price adjustment. A company representative stated, "Despite the increase in ingredient costs, we have absorbed the price hike internally to minimize the burden on customers. However, due to ongoing international instability and rising costs, we have reluctantly decided to adjust our prices."
The ordering process at kiosks will also undergo some changes. Previously, customers selected Americano and then chose between hot and iced options. Going forward, hot Americano and iced Americano will be offered as separate menu items. The existing 'extra shot Americano' option will be discontinued, and customers wishing to add a shot can select it as an additional option after ordering an Americano.
Meanwhile, MegaMGC Coffee raised the prices of three items in its 'Halmega Coffee' lineup by 200 won each on June 19, and The Venti increased prices on major menu items, excluding Americano, by 100 to 500 won on May 29. Earlier in March, Banapresso and Brewda Coffee also raised prices on some menu items, including decaf and cold brew.
