Anyone that drinks coffee might want to stock up now. Rumor is prices are going to go up from short supply in the next year.

Well, the price increase may not effect Black Rifle Coffee as much as it would have a week or so ago. ;)

We've been looking at rising prices and shortage possibilities since last year because of the drought in Brazil's growing regions.

So we need a SHTF coffee storage thread? :laugh:
Which is the higher value currency in SHTF? Toilet paper or coffee?

Whichever one you don't have.

Freeze in Brazil? Can we get back to panicking over the oncoming ice age and party like it's 1978 again? Cue the "How dare you!"s

At the start of the week, temperatures in Brazil's coffee regions dropped several hours below freezing Celsius for several hours, according to Rural Clima, and southern Minas Gerais was the coldest since 1994.
No problem. We don't use the Celsius scale here in the U.S., so this doesn't affect us.

A local radio station made a reference to the problem with coffee today and then said there was another problem for similar reasons. They said there had been weather related issues the regions that grow grapes destined to become raisins. Now raisins are supposed to be in short supply as well. :facepalm:

Feels like everything has a reason it is going to be in short supply and expensive.
Definitely not inflation though.

Lumber and building supply prices are way up. Housing prices are up. Gas is going up. Food prices are going up. Now coffee and grapes.
You're right, it isn't inflation.

I remember when there was a shortage of tomatoes because of a worldwide bloom of some tomato-destroying insect. So, supply and demand, the price went up.
Trouble is, even long after that noxious bug was defeated, did the price of tomatoes go down?

And it all started magically skyrocketing right when giant spending bills were being signed. Surely “just a coincidence”. Just like it’s what, 40% of all the US dollars that have ever been in existence were magically created over the past couple of years?
Money printer go brrrrr

Lumber prices recently started to slide down again.
Just heard from a builder friend that, right on cue, as soon as prices started to come down the mills decided it was time to "modernize," so they drastically cut production.
