Yes but every middleman will add as much as possible to profit and blame it on the tariffs.

Yeah, just waiting for the record profits of the coffee importers and processing plants.

They’re putting huge tariffs on Switzerland too. Which makes the grinders and other shit Starbucks uses to make coffee in its shops.

However, I’m pretty sure roasted beans and ground coffee at the grocery store is just price fixed to the cost of a cup at the megacorp coffee shops at this point.

Fuck this place. And fuck it’s coffee industry.

Are we sure this person isn't buying instant granules? At least to my Australian brain, a 25 fl oz cup of coffee (~739 mL in real units), is a patently insane size to buy from a cafe.

See if eggs are cheap then the migrants we pay pennies to harvest them might be able to afford to eat! And that would be bad right you don't want BROWN people eating the eggs they harvest for YOU do you???

If it’s good, whole bean coffee, it should be frozen to prevent off-gassing.

I've actually never tried it, but, it's described as pleasant. You have to roast the stems and leaves.

I grow it, but I've only drank it once. It's not too different from Yerba Maté. Which is to say -it tastes like an herbal tea made of holly leaves.

apparently, it’s bad!

it makes a nice tea. a local company in my area sells it at farmers markets. https://lostpinesyaupontea.com/

Sometimes it's about the preparation ritual, not necessarily just the caffeine.

You know, some people actually like the taste of coffee. I don't know what flavors caffeine pills come in, but i doubt that they are comparable to a nice, hot cup of cappuccino in the morning, and feeling the caffeine and the warmth while waking up.

Coffee and tea both have a slightly different buzz from one another and caffeine pills IMO. At the very least caffeine pills definitely hit way faster, and that can be too much for those sensitive.

I do think coffee itself is a luxury that everyone is used to having. And to be fair, it's been dirt cheap for quite a while. A lot of the world gets by on instant coffee and basic tea, though.

I'm surprised that it's not yet a common occurrence that when a seller learns that the buyer of goods is american, he simply marks the price up by 50% because of fuck you, thats why

Yeah, climate change. More rains, more shifts is temperature, more drought as well.

Its going to get A LOT worse.

Why don't they just move the floods to where the droughts are to solve both problems?

Tea’s okay, but it doesn’t create that warm, lovey feeling I get from coffee. It just doesn’t satisfy the way coffee does. Probably because tea has lower caffeine content?

Americans don't drink as much of tea as Europeans. It annoys me, because I can't for example buy any black tea at my Costco and have to go to a different store, but they have entire aisle of nothing but coffee.

You do know that not everyone is looking for a caffeine fix and there are people out there who do not drink coffee or tea, right?

Competition, same thing that normally limits prices. You don't need to "blame" tariffs to raise prices

you can just raise them. If you're the only vendor of coffee in the US, you can increase prices without losing sales. But I'd expect that anyone who selling coffee or another item that can be stored and is going to have a significant increase in tariffs will try to get stock in before that. Raise prices and you lose sales to other parties.

The cost to produce does matter.

Only insomuch as setting a price floor, but not a ceiling
