We love our coffee!  But, will you love paying through the nose for it?

The price of everything has gone up significantly!  Been to the grocery store lately?  You're probably paying $20 or more per week than you were six months ago.

Coffee lovers have noticed the sticker shock.  The price of coffee is skyrocketing due to three reasons.

  • Transportation costs. Mainly due to the cost of energy.
  •  The roya leaf fungus, otherwise known as "coffee rust", is destroying crops in Central America.
  • And a drought this year in Central and South America.

To most people coffee is like gas, it's a necessity. They're going to pay the extra for coffee because they enjoy it, they want it, and they may even need it.  Will you?
