That's a rather odd statement - that coffee is a "filthy" beverage. When made properly, it is a very pristine and healthy beverage.
Of course it is going to make a mess if you spill it. If I crushed a few blueberries on your dining room table or wiped a slab of raw meat across it, that would make a mess too, requiring you to clean it.

Coffee is actually very cheap. I think the marketplace could easily sustain a tripling of price without losing much demand.

Awesome but we don’t have a roaster. I might have to ask for one for Christmas though.

They have roasted beans and tea, also.

Frankly I prefer my coffee without frosting. :-)

I’ve been seeing articles about coffee shortages and price increases for years now.

"Keurig machines have taken care a LOT of that, though the servings are quite expensive." We don't have a Keurig and don't want one. My husband brews up the best cup of coffee I've had in a $40 Mr. Coffee.

For home, of course I agree. We use a $25 Mr. Coffee drip unit ourselves. If you grind good beans yourself, of course that will beat a Keurig. If you have a husband who makes youu coffee, its even more convenient. My wife makes mine. Good thing they didn't marry each other!
Do keep in mind that I was responding to someone complaining about the messes in workplace coffee areas. As far as not having to deal with dirty neglected pots in a public area, single serving Keurigs have their advantages.

LOL, I do understand.
I can make a good cup, but my husband just has the ability to make a fantastic cup...and we both like it strong.
It’s important to keep the machine clean and free of moisture/mold growth. I worked at a place where they would keep the basket full of used grounds in place and run water through to make a second pot. Needless to say, you’d have had to put a gun to my head to make me go near that brew.

Sounds like it’s time for me to buy about 30# of green beans. I mostly roast African an Indonesian coffee anyway, but I imagine it will push up prices everywhere. The great thing about green coffee, is that it will keep for about 3 years.

I roast it at home. More varieties than I can count, and the beans can be roasted different ways to produce variations in flavor. Amazing...
