So what U are saying is that I should stock up on java for at least the next 6 months due to inflation. A 12-oz. bag of the strong-roast Starbuck's goes a long way. IMO, Dunkin' Donuts coffee is a gyp, but I like the hazlenut flavor.
I can usually get either brand on sale for $5.99 several times a year in the grocery store.
And here is the big question? What will happen to the price of coffee if mainland Chinese develop a taste for it. Say 5 percent of the population start drinking coffee. That would be at least 50M new coffee drinkers.
