Yeah I don't buy enough cafe coffee to make a price jump from $5 to $8 a cup a big shock (I might get one every couple of weeks), but I'll be sad if prices shoot up for my home beans. How did they go from $3 a kilo to $13 a kilo over the past 4 years without coffee prices skyrocketing? Is the $3 a kilo from 2020 a cherry-picked number where it dropped to crazy-low prices because demand fell when cafes couldn't open due to lockdown?

For home beans, Prices are going up for the same beans, some will try to cut costs by buying cheaper beans to blend. But my supplier of choice, C4 out of chch has warned us of the market situation and that they will be putting prices up instead of compromising quality.

Ooh I haven't heard of C4 before. Might have to give them a go. Though $80+ for 1kg is even more than the $75 I've occasionally had from Ark.

The advent calendar they do every year is eye opening to just how flavourful coffee can be. But I do enjoy the light roast funky processes, prepared in a pour over the best. Your taste may vary. Their single origin lots are $70 - $150 a kg.

I've just got some new coffee (This time from Ozone), but will try to remember C4 for next time.
