Turns out that putting a 50% tariff on the biggest coffee producer in the world (to try to interfere with Bolsonaro's trial) raises the price of coffee, who would've thunk
-
Price of the coffee is the smallest part of that cup of coffee though, probably less than a dollar. The vast majority of it is everything else from facilities to work and leeches cutting their profits
-
Yes but every middleman will add as much as possible to profit and blame it on the tariffs.

"Preemptive tariff compensation".

Yeah, just waiting for the record profits of the coffee importers and processing plants.

They’re putting huge tariffs on Switzerland too. Which makes the grinders and other shit Starbucks uses to make coffee in its shops.
However, I’m pretty sure roasted beans and ground coffee at the grocery store is just price fixed to the cost of a cup at the megacorp coffee shops at this point.
Fuck this place. And fuck it’s coffee industry.

Are we sure this person isn't buying instant granules? At least to my Australian brain, a 25 fl oz cup of coffee (~739 mL in real units), is a patently insane size to buy from a cafe.

Yes
a 25 fl oz cup of coffee
They aren't buying that either; they are buying a 25 oz (~700g) container of coffee beans, most likely pre-ground
-
That's probably a fill for a thermos, but yeah that's a proper size coffee.

It's actually because people are willing to pay it.
Products are priced according to what people are willing to pay, not what they cost to produce.
If you've ever sold drugs, you'd know this firsthand. So many suckers are proud to pay 500%+ markup on products and then praise me for selling it to them.

Lol this person still believes in the free market.
