Some brands will just add in more of the cheaper, more plentiful (but less tasty) robusta beans.

I drink the Newmans Own k-cups for the keurig and I swear they changed it to the point it tastes like dishwater now.

Or maybe a touch more chicory. ;-)

A better way of dealing with coffee shortages and price spikes: mix two parts coffee with one part chicory. The result is less expensive, has less caffeine, and is delicious. Order some coffee with chicory from Amazon or numerous other online merchants, or grab a cup the next time you're in the New Orleans area. You can also buy coffee with chicory at Walmart and other grocery stores throughout Louisiana, southeast Texas, southern Arkansas, and most of Mississippi and Alabama and in the Florida Panhandle.
