      It’s like those people saying quit your every day coffee/breakfast/lunch/cigarette and you will afford a house.

    Looking forward to price hikes far beyond the actual cost to middlemen. The eggification of another good.

    Fucking bummer. Everyone around me will crash and burn, and us non-coffee drinkers will rule the world!

      Lol, it only takes a few days to no longer have withdraw effects of caffeine. Some Ibuprofen and Tylenol will take care of the headache in the transition.

    Cut out the middle man. I just started roasting raw beans. Costs less than half as much as I was paying before and tastes better than I’ve ever had before.

      Global warming makes coffee harder to cultivate, that restricts the supply, hence the price hikes. I guess coffee is going to be a luxury item in the future.

      While the world is focused on its own problems, far right populism, and what not, we are oversleeping a great opportunity to rein in global warming. With douchebags like Trump at the helm, the crisis is getting worse and worse. I guess the kids of our kids will read about this time in their history books and wonder how stupid and egocentric we were back then.

      That’ll work until the supply for beans really starts drying up.
