Re:Should Coffee Cost $7? by nixnixers on Friday August 09, 2024 @07:08AM (#41200666)
I find the article short on details necessary to make any judgement. The cost of coffee beans themselves were typically not a major cost of providing a coffee at a cafe, so double the cost naturally doesn't mean double the price.

Huh? The article was actually really well researched. You find there what you bring to it, I guess.

While the price of coffee green coffee beans has a lot a volatility year to year. The macro trend is very stable. https://www.macrotrends.net/2535/coffee-prices-historical-ch...

You are looking at $2 a pound for coffee beans, or $0.16 a cup. The remaining price is mostly, non-coffee related.
