Good news. Looks like I will have to switch to scotch in the mornings to save money. Should make things go more smoothly.

In the past couple of months, 10.5 ounces of my regional brand of coffee have gone from $2.67 to $3.09 to $3.49 to $3.98. All the similar size Maxwell House and Folgers packages seem to be $4.20 or so and higher now.

Forget coffee. If want much less expensive upper go buy guarana at your health food store. It has lots of caffeine and is in many energy drinks

Considering the price, the new slogan might be “The best part of waking up is crystal meth.”

Oh, those greedy "Big Coffee Companies" are at it again, gouging us while they rake in record profits. Obama's going to have to have the Justice Dept. investigate to make sure there's no profiteering going on.

"If you're still drinkin' those 8oz cups of coffee, maybe you'd do well to buy a smaller cup. And inflate your tires, while you're at it", Obama said with a chuckle...

“A drop in supplies of high-grade arabica coffee beans and a growing taste for upmarket coffee among the middle classes of China, Brazil, Indonesia and India are blamed for the sharp rise.”

Yeah... and abc stated that gas prices are so high and going higher because china and the developing world were increasing their oil consumption... due to the... now get this... world wide economic recovery. Last I checked... most of these places were short on food and protests and riots are growing in many places.

“Continuing weakness in the dollar has also kept many commodity markets soaring and encouraged a buy-up of arabica beans.”

SPECULATORS AGAIN... must be those same evil RICH folks making over $250,000 a year and only have wealth because they stole it from someone else... that speculate on oil and cause our $5 and rising pain... that are driving up java prices too huh? /S

“Coffee prices have more than doubled in the past seven months. Supplies are running low because heavy rain led to worse than expected harvests in Colombia, the second-largest producer of arabica beans after Brazil and also in Indonesia, Mexico and Vietnam. Colombia’s supplies dipped to their lowest level in 33 years.”

Just like the Libyan conflict is driving up oil prices huh? /S

Just damn.

All the gold bugs misled us — we should have invested in Coffee.

I went grocery shopping yesterday, and noticed that the brand of coffee I normally buy is in considerably smaller (1/3 smaller?) containers than a week ago.

The price for the new, smaller container was the same as it was for the larger container last week.
