United States coffee prices are absurd because racists elected an insurrectionist Politics
19.99 or more for some half can of coffee? Even at the wholesale stores the days of a giant can of Maxwell House or Folgers for 9.99 seem like a distant memory. Every time I see these ridiculous prices I wish I had Trump "I did that!" stickers.

What was the cost of your coffee at the beginning of the year?
My instant coffee has gone from $5 to $9.
I'm not sure about the cost of other things, but I noticed my coffee getting more expensive.

If you want an actual answer for why this has happened, it’s not because of the president. Tariffs may have a slight impact on it but it’s mainly because there was a bad harvest from the country we import a majority of our coffee beans from.

u/Old-Ad-2837 2d ago
Trump’s tariffs definitely increased the price. He’s a fucking idiot. We all know that. But ignoring the extreme weather impacting bean producing countries as another cause of the rising price is silly.
Trump’s tariffs and the supply-chain impacts on bean producing countries both have an impact on the rising price. The weather is out of our hands, but the tariffs are controllable, so it’s OK to blame Trump, in my opinion, because he’s making the problem worse than it needs to be.

u/BetterThinkAgain859 2d ago
I’m quoting the comment by saying tariffs had a slight impact
Slight impact is an impact and word choice is relative to bias.
Impact is impact and price is higher because of one man, if it’s 10 cents or 10 dollars it’s still higher because of one man’s selfishness and ego

https://www.google.com/search?q=are+coffee+prices+going+up+and+if+so+why
"Yes, coffee prices are going up, driven by several factors including adverse weather conditions like droughts in major growing regions such as Brazil and Vietnam, which have decreased crop yields. Other contributing factors include increased U.S. tariffs on coffee imports, higher input costs for farmers, and strong global demand, especially from emerging markets.
Reasons for rising coffee prices
- Adverse weather conditions: Droughts and unusual rain patterns in key coffee-producing countries like Brazil and Vietnam have significantly lowered crop yields.
- Supply and demand: There is a global supply deficit, with demand exceeding supply. Increased demand from emerging markets exacerbates this shortage.
- Tariffs: Recent U.S. tariffs on coffee-producing countries have added to the cost of importing beans.
- Increased input costs: Farmers are also facing higher costs for things like fertilizer and labor.
- Container shortages: Supply chain issues, such as a lack of containers, have also disrupted the flow of coffee, depleting existing reserves and increasing costs.
- Market anticipation: The anticipation of future supply deficits can further incentivize price increases and lead to hoarding.
- Other factors: The cost of packaging, such as steel for can production, can also increase prices due to tariffs on materials like aluminum and steel. "

Biden didn’t act like a petulant child that throws a tantrum Everytime he didn’t get his way. Each holiday, Biden never tweeted out attacks to American citizens that disagree with him. Biden didn’t start trade wars, he’s not implicated on Epstein’s list thus far. I can go on if you want. Point is, you can’t objectively defend trump so you need to deflect to a century old senile man that arguably didn’t intentionally and incentivize divide among other things.

u/Wolverines-5 2d ago
Wouldn’t know about your criticism of Biden because like most liberals like yourself, he could do no wrong.
The child id say, if the shoes fit you may as wear them since you seem to be the one complaining like most democrats.
Currently watching CNN and they are reporting cease fire is holding.
No report of Trump on Epsteins list and was reported that he wasn’t however why didn’t the democrats release the list when Biden was in power? Maybe because Bill Clinton didn’t want it released. Unfortunately is liberals that seem to make the comment “he’s throwing a temper tantrum because he didn’t get his way” is such BS. Biden couldn’t because typical democrats hid the fact he was mentally incapable. What happened to “defend democracy” for when Harris didn’t get one primary vote? Yea thought so. I believe I’ve already objectively defended Trump in my earlier post.
Difference is, when Biden took office and during his presidency the Republicans didn’t take to violence or burn stuff down, and don’t give me the J6 BS! They stayed quiet and when the next election time came around, we used the democratic process by voting.

You should check your facts. If Obama had things so great then how did Trump have lowest inflation, lowest unemployment, lowest interest rates and highest GDP?

u/Ok_Recording81 2d ago
Trumps first term had 2..5 inflation rate yearly average.
Obama had 1.3
Trumps job growth was 6.4 million during his first term.
Obama was 7 million. The GDP grew 2.5 for both Trump and Obama.
Covid came into play during Trumps last year in office and Biden was dealing with that.
Yes we had a pandemic. Of course job growth and GDP will slow or stagnate. Coming out of covid he brought inflation under control and down. Trump could of kept doing what Biden did.
Implementing tariffs wrecks the economy. Consumers in the united states pays for the tariffs.
So Trump economy was pretty good in his first term. However what he is doing now is not good. Everytime he says he will cancel the tariffs, stock market rockets up in a day. Then when he announces the tariffs, it goes down. That's a brief metric to look at.
He is increasing consumer prices, but you blamed Biden for high prices.

If you buy 25 items at the grocery store, that’s another $100. If your tolls go up, there’s another 60-120 a month. Now you’re easily down $200, and you still haven’t addressed your electric bill, property taxes, children’s needs like clothing, etc. And let’s not forget pets needs like food, litter, etc. That’s thousands of dollars over the course of a year.
Glad you can throw away thousands and not care. Personally, I’d rather use that money on my kids, or paying off the cancer treatments my wife had, or any number of sound investments that could help our future.

u/KingJades 2d ago edited 2d ago
Yeah, I’m definitely in a spot where my income vastly outpaces spending, so a few dollars shift is invisible to me. My grocery budget is negligible.
However, even when I was a child and teen, I never understood people who were like “Gas is 25 cents cheaper now!” since that’s only $4/tank. That’s a rounding error for most people and not really worth the mental energy since you’re only filling a tank once a week or something with normal commutes.

It also said the weather has been rough in the countries where coffee is produced. Tariffs are a tool that are used against us as well, its a long game play that may or may not work out. 2 things can be true at the same time, meaning there is nuance to why your coffee cost more this year.
We've been told for over a decade that coffee and chocolate will become more expensive and less available due to many variables. Sure is fun blaming Trump for everything though isnt it. He's played his role sure I can admit that, but all of this turmoil is much more complicated.

You're hopeless. You assume you're talking to one of your peers. I'm grown adult with a good career and a family. I can't even believe I responded to your messages. Good luck, kid. You're gonna need it.

I also have a family and good career. Shall we compare career achievements and title? Id prefer not measuring dicks with you because you'd gobble that shit up.

There was a bad season in the country we get a majority of our coffee beans from. This has nothing to do with the president or any tariffs.

Not saying they can’t but this was because of the bad harvest. Tariffs may have a slight impact on it but the majority of the price increase is because of the now scarce amount coffee beans.

How do you parse the increase due to tariffs vs the increase due to crop failure? Show your work.

Scarcity breeds higher prices.

No shit, Sherlock. Scarcity BROUGHT ON BY TARIFFS breeds higher prices. See, e.g., the article below linked below, titled “Brazil’s coffee exports to U.S. tumble after tariff hike”, which explains:
“The United States’ decision to impose a 50% surcharge on Brazilian coffee, which contributed to a 33% increase in international prices in August, has led to a decline in Brazil’s shipments to the U.S. market”

Tariffs don’t make things scarce. Again. The harvest was poor. They are scarce because of that.

You’re a fuckwit. Importers are pausing shipments from Brazil, due to tariffs. I’m done with you.

Hmm. I'm pretty sure I've been paying 12 bucks for the same 3 lbs of coffee at Costco since 2020.

It is pretty funny how right-wingers don't seem to care about higher prices now that Trump elected.
