[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An increase of a few dollars per pound may be a relatively big change in price but in actual dollars is effectively trivial for most people.

Small-batch, locally fresh roasted per pound prices are indeed very high now, but bulk beans from Costco are still not budget-busting.

Coffee is a luxury anyway; nobody "needs" to consume it, so while we may wish it was less expensive we are not actually substantially adversely impacted if we give it up.

And, you can always drink less expensive alternatives, like instant coffee, and coffee made from less costly Robusta beans instead of pricier Arabica varieties.[/quote]

I can’t believe all the aoologists for the ridiculous price hikes we’re seeing.[/quote]

What can be done? It's because of the stupid tariffs. People aren't going to be able to buy any food in a few weeks. Coffee is the least of our worries. [/quote]

Are you talking about people on ebt?  You sound hysterical.  I’m worried about inflation but what are you referring to here?  It’s not like we are seeing grocery stores change prices every hour.  [/quote]
