1. Yikes!

2. I'm a home roaster, since 2007.

In 2007, I was paying 5.00-6.00 per pound - now paying 8.00 - 9.00, small price to pay for great coffee.

3. He's already blaming Powell, Chair of the Federal Reserve

for not dropping interest rates.

4. Think in the increase in coffee prices will make the news like the increase in eggs?

Nope

[Buckeyeblue]

5. I would give up eggs before coffee

And folgers isn't good enough to be that expensive.

6. agree 100%-both counts

[Demovictory9]

7. Wow

[Torchlight]

8. I'm pretty sure there's no way around it... coffee is going to see 15-20% increases by end of August

Domestic production of coffee is well under 2% of domestic conspumtion as only Hawaii and Puerto Rico currently support commercial coffee farming. We'll eat (or dinrk) the tariff increases. Thanks, trump.

9. I don't have favorite coffee brands anymore

I just buy whatever Publix has when it's 2 for 1

[fierywoman]

10. I loathe and despise the teeny-weeny orange yeti -- but it was announced I think before the 2024 election

that coffee prices would be rising because the crops were having problems. Me, I buy Costco Kirkland brand beans, which are still +/- $6 a pound (i.e., what a latte costs in many places.)

11. new with more plastic jug flavor than ever......where's mrs olsen when u need her?

[ProfessorGAC]

12. Not Here

It's about $2 cheaper for the big container, but it wasn't $11 a month ago.
It's more, but nothing close to 50%.

[surfered]

13. Don't worry, Trump's tariffs will surely bring more coffee manufacturing back to the US

😄

[Melon]

14. The math doesn't math if it was only tariff

The increase is way too high and the increase would be on the wholesale number. Say $4 increase. It’s got to be combined it’s tight supplies.

[WarGamer]

15. 13.96 at WalMart.

Don't believe everything you see on the internet.

[DiverDave]

16. Walla Walla walmart

Same price both times. I had to run back and check.

[W_HAMILTON]

17. You are quoting the price of a smaller version than what is shown in the OP.

My Walmart has the EXACT same price as yours, so I can tell.

The 22.6oz cannister is $13.96 -- but that is not what is shown in the OP.

The 33.7oz cannister is $19.72 -- EXACTLY as what is shown in the OP.

But your false claim is a good example of how people shouldn't believe everything they see on the internet -- on that, I can agree!

[WarGamer]

18. I did... my bad.

BUT

https://aislegopher.com/p/folgers-black-silk-ground-coffee-smooth-dark-roast-coffee-337oz-canister/2202

Data says... the Twitter dude posted bullshit.

Price unchanged in the last month... even two months.

And it hasn't been 12.99 in how long? Years?

[W_HAMILTON]

19. Your article shows that the price has increased 37% since Trump took office.

$14.44 when Trump came into office vs $19.72 now -- that's a ~37% increase in less than half a year.

People wanting to distract from the main point may want to argue whether the price started at $12.99 or $14.44, but fact of the matter is that it is now almost $20.00 and that is a HUGE increase in such a short amount of time regardless of which of the two starting points you use. I'm sure you agree, yes?

[WarGamer]

20. Did the tweet say 37% or 12.99 in one month?

if he said 37% I wouldn't have said jack

Lesson #1 to twitter dude, no need to exaggerate stuff

[W_HAMILTON]

21. You would have said something, because in your haste to debunk the OP, you quoted the price of a different size.

For those of us that can still see the forest even with all the trees, the OP's point was that the price of that coffee has increased significantly recently -- and on that, he is exactly correct.

I'm glad that this discussion between the two of us clarifies it for everyone: Walmart -- one of the lowest-priced retailers out there -- has increased this coffee's price by ~37% in just the few short months that Trump has been in office.

[WarGamer]

23. I was addressing the Twitter person... I don't go after DU'ers.

A note for OP... Sams Club has the 40oz size for the ~same price as the 33oz at Walmart. $19.88

[iemanja]

24. I buy quality coffee for $15.50 a pound

It's roasted at a small coffee shop in St. Paul, MN. For any locals, it's JS Bean Factory on Randolf, just east of Snelling.
