Coffee will be the next luxury thing

Yesterday I read that coffee prices will skyrocket soon.
It seems climate change has negative effects on production and higher transport costs. This will lead to coffee being almost at airport prices everywhere.
Now, whenever we drink coffee outside the house, we pay around 75 cents, but at the airport, we pay €2.
If I rarely drink coffee outside the house, from now on I will only drink coffee at home.
Yesterday I bought this coffee on sale for €2.40 and it's enough for around 29 coffees. The packaging says it has some notes of cocoa and nuts.
hope it tastes as good as it smells.
Have you heard about this? Are you a coffee drinker?

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 don’t go out for coffee anymore, it’s been some years since I even did it occasionally. Once in a blue moon, I will go to Barnes and Noble with my daughter, who thinks she has to get a coffee from the Starbucks there. I get my black coffee, and she gets some type of latte and she always wants to buy mine, so I let her. That’s pretty much the only time I ever go out for coffee!

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.

@MarieCoyle I agree, I am alright with cocoa powder not be on the shelves, I have stocked up on chocolate chips, I will use those in baking.
I do need to pick up a bottle of vanilla.

I read that not only coffee, but cocoa would be pricey and maybe scarce. I bought some extra cocoa this summer to have for the winter, cookies, etc. for Christmas. I bought some extra vanilla as well. Kind of hard to bake without vanilla!

€3 is a LOT! In some places, we already pay 80 cents / €1 and I think it is expensive.

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?

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 drink coffee in the morning with my breakfast. I'm going to stock up too.

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'm not a coffee drinker. I tried it once and didn't like it. I do like the smell of it. My mother does drink it. I read an article a few years ago saying that there is diseases on the trees and there is a danger of coffee supply.

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.
