Coffee prices are up and will rise further.  Ouch!
The first thing I noticed was the lack of special offers on instant coffee.  There were no more wars than usual in the coffee growing regions, so it must be disease  or climate to blame.  Most coffee growing regions have no problem finding workers.  It’s unlikey that […]
