Coffee price

Derf
in Off-Topic
Over the last 6-7 months the coffee we purchase has gone from approximately $10 to $15 & change. Is this from tariff or shortage to the morning Joe? Maybe a little of both? I'm sure there are many price changes going on , but the coffee price was a "wake-up" to me.
Enjoy your up coming weekend, Derf

    Don’t forget where coffee are grown and global warming contributes to smaller areas. This has been observed for some time. Tariffs adds another layer of cost to the consumer.

    I switched to tea but still their prices have gone up too.

    Yeah the current coffee trail ob Brazil of 50% I'm fairly certain isn't helping matters. However since most of the coffee I buy has its origins in Sumatra, Costa Rica, El Salvador or Guatemala I haven't seen the pricing that you describe. Yet.

    50% price increases are a bit stiff, but everything is ratcheting up in price. Some gouging involved, perhaps, as certain vendors are "opportunistic".

    The recent 2.7% CPI print seems comical when you actually go to the store and purchase groceries. We WISH it was 2.7%.
