Coffee will be the next luxury thing

I am a coffee drinker and I don't want to spend my money buying coffee on Starbucks or other cafe for the reason that their price is too expensive. As it is now, coffee is expensive and if they continue the increase price I cannot possibly imagine how much will it be. I rather stay home to drink and enjoy my coffee

I haven’t heard anything, but I’m not a coffee drinker.

The cost of our coffee has already increased, but when I watch the sales I can get it for the price I used to get it for without a sale. Vanilla and cocoa are also on the rise due to them coming from the same area. Regardless of the cost of coffee, I will always buy it, we are both coffee lovers here.

I am a coffee drinker and I never drink coffee outside the house for two reasons: here in Switzerland the espresso at the bar is not really good and I pay the equivalent of € 3 for one coffee.

I love coffee and basically can't start my day without it. i rarely have coffee out and I agree that it's expensive. With the soaring prices on everything I'm not surprised that coffee will go up in price too. Guess I'm going to have to stock up a bit next time I shop.

I am an occasional cofee drinker and I wish it were cheaper.

I hope not. I have to have it everyday

I'm both a tea and coffee drinker. I just want one of these two, but I want. I don't mind if it's coffee or tea; but the morning begins with either of these two drinks. You said you pay 75 cents even you drink coffee in your house. So you PAY when you drink coffee in your own house? I think that might be the cost of preparing the coffee, which is 75 cents, if I am not wrong. When we drink or eat outside, like in hotels or in restaurants, the cost is obviously more. That's because they get the input cost from us - from the customers. Also they want to get their profit too. That's why the cost of eating outside, is more than what we prepare in our own house.

No, I have not heard about this. I am a tea drinker although I drink coffee every now and then when I go out with my friend shopping.

I'm not a coffee drinker. I gave up coffee many years ago. But I understand that this will be a huge disappointment for those who love coffee. I haven't noticed the price of every cup here, though I'm aware that the likes of Starbucks have gone up. A friend mentioned in jest that his Starbucks coffee is even more expensive that his breakfast. We've got local coffee growers here who supply beans to big and small coffee shops.

This is news to me, but it doesn't surprise me in the least. Top this with inflation, and before you know it we'll all need a mortgage just to go the grocery store.

I am absolutely a person that must have coffee every day. Plain, black and hot coffee! I have been trying to stay ahead on my coffee supply somewhat. That way, I can watch for sales, and not feel like I have to pay the highest prices. Plain and simple, this girl must have her coffee!!!

I am not a coffee drinker but i think i heard here one coffee in a cafe is almost 2euros.on airport,maybe even more.i am glad your coffee contains cacao too

we make the best coffee in the world and Beryl did wreck some plantations

We never have coffee anyway!!

I like coffee, but limit myself to a maximum of 2 per day. A 100g jar of Nescafé Gold instant coffee over here is currently £3.65 in Tesco. Apparently you can get 55 cups from that jar, which works out at 6p per cup. That sounds reasonable to me. I don’t know at what cost it would become too expensive to drink, but even double wouldn’t make me cut back. Should I consider stockpiling?

No problems here I drink iced tea,

I've been reading for a while now that coffee will become scarce in the future. The plants that the coffee beans come from can only grow at certain elevations and certain temperatures, and due to climate change there are becoming fewer and fewer areas of the world left to successfully grow the plants. You are correct that coffee will soon become an expensive luxury, unless science and technology can develop a way to successfully produce coffee in abundance.

I was not aware of the challenges in coffee production. Price rise across comodity will happe yearly and periodically.Worse, prices would not normally come down as well, once the base is set. Coming to price rise,many could jump to tea as an alternative or have lesser coffee. Those are the only two solutions possible when the prices are going beyond our budget. Personally , I do not drink much coffee or tea and is rare to consume either one of them unless I am sick or really need a boost. My favourite is water and that help me with my minimal lifestyle as well. Good to know your interests!

I've heard of coffee prices rising due to some EU thing and that was all. I'm not sure if I can adjust to chicory or barley coffee, but I'm positive about that. Actually, I do have a bad habit of drinking coffee before going to bed so that would help.
