Coffee and its caffeine is unquestionably an addiction to a huge portion of the population in the Western World. Some argue that it is what makes the world go round and has some health benefits in spite of it's addictive nature. The good news is that there is a bumper crop of beans flooding the markets these days. A large supply like that normally reduces the price we pay in the grocery store. The bad news is that these lower prices are likely temporary. As global warming takes away more and more fertile coffee growing ground, the supply will become scarce and the prices will skyrocket. Enjoy it while you can.

Coffee Downs and Ups
Re: Coffee Downs and Ups
Our supplies get used up very quickly. I bought two more lots yesterday.

Think we've got a while to go yet, but all of a sudden, I imagine that certain brands or types won't be available in ordinary shops, and if they are, we'll see a big jump in prices. I'm seriously stashing it away atm. It'll always keep.
Re: Coffee Downs and Ups
well, I opened it up - and saw that it was really dark and rich, compared to what we found in the stores.... so the quality had gone down considerably, while price had gone up.
come think of it, I wonder if actually can find coffee in a can.... i'd buy a case of it.
Re: Coffee Downs and Ups
You CAN get it in tins, although I put the foil-packaged boxed stuff into my own ones. Nescafé and Kenco come like that for just over 29 euros for SIXTY tins!! LOL. Wow, I bet that's good stuff (sarcasm), BUT, it IS a branded coffee, however good or bad.
If you go online, you can get various makes of it from Amazon.
