It's a combination of increased demand and bad coffee harvests, most definitely not caused by climate change and global heating.Speaking of coffee, has anyone noticed that it has more than doubled in price at the store? A 3 lb can was 8.99 early last year, went up to 11.99 in Nov/December and then suddenly I saw that it soared up to $17.99 last week.I generally make my own cuppa every morning.
I ran across this article. The most interesting thing is that farther down in the article they provide a list of prices for various common grocery items from 2019, compared to this year. The only prices that appear to have gone down are lemons and tomatoes.

Coffee prices at record high after bad weather
Coffee drinkers are set to feel the pinch from high prices after crops got hit by drought and heavy rainfall.
