Recent reports indicate a significant rise in coffee prices across the United States, with costs up by more than 20% over the past year. Factors contributing to this surge include tariffs imposed on coffee imports and adverse weather conditions in Brazil affecting supply. Coffee drinkers are now facing higher prices for their favorite beverages, with establishments in cities like Seattle reporting price hikes of up to 60%. Meanwhile, local roasteries and coffee shops are feeling the pressure to adjust their pricing or absorb the rising costs. Despite some fluctuations, such as drops in coffee prices due to above-average rainfall in Brazil, the overall trend shows a continuing upward trajectory. Lawmakers are considering bipartisan solutions to alleviate the impact of tariffs on consumers, as a coffee crisis brews not just in prices, but also in accessibility.
