Have a friend who is a big Starbucks drinker and only watches liberal msm, and he is spitting nails, saying Trump is akin to the anti-christ.

Tried to tell him that there is a 90% chance that Brazil will cave. Goes through one ear and out the other.

NBC5 Chicago should be a lot more concerned with what their crackpot socialist mayor is doing to the city.

But, marching orders are marching orders.

Don’t care. Brazil (the B in BRICS) needs to be brought down a few notches.

luckily Vietnam is the second biggest exporter of coffee isn’t it?

they may not have the name brand beans, they MAKE delicious iced coffee with techniques and sweet condensed milk.

It means importers will buy more from Columbia and some other countries, and likely not paying more for the exporting growers would likely enjoy getting more dollars than the other currencies than they get from other buying countries.

The number 1 Buyer in the world controls the market, not the sellers.

We can get coffee elsewhere, they can’t sell that coffee volume to someone else.

Ask anyone that done business with Walmart. You don’t tell Walmart terms, they tell you.

It won’t.
Brazil is 35%, so that means 65% won’t be affected.
That amount would increase once Brazil is out of the game.

My wife and I use either the Kirkland brand keurig cups or the Kirkland brand columbian. So far they are rock solid on price.

But I’ll pay more to do “my part” to get our economy back in order. It’s a small price to pay.

Brazil is not the only big coffee producing nation. Columbia & Vietnam are also large coffee producers.

So, what tariffs is Brazil putting on us? Maybe we should take one for Team U.S.A. and let Brazil choke on their coffee beans.

I buy coffee when it is on sale. I now have a several years supply. Temporary disruptions do not bother me.

I have sometimes drunk green tea, but never green coffee, so I’m not going to worry about the supply of green coffee beans.
