You just have to stay away from the big piazzas and touristspots, they charge almost 50% more. And remember it's cheaper al banco (at the bar) than al tavolo (at a table), if you just want to have a quick ristretto or espresso(which is normally refered to as: un caffè). I spent a year in Firenze, but 12 years ago, so I can't really recommend any bars for coffee, sorry! The bar I worked at closed long time ago. But if you maybe long for a good beer, there's an irish pub: Fiedlers Elbow at Piazza Santa Maria Novella near the main train station. I have also worked there, but the only coffee there is "drip" or presspot.
Have a nice trip, I envy you!
