    its because there is more money in Cocaine/Coca plantations..

    Why would the farmers grow coffee, when they get more for coca paste?..

    Well, there is a lot of demand for coffee. So there's always a market.

    I just drink cup after cup at work and never contribute to the coffee fund so it's free for me.

    ten or twelve bucks for a pound of good beans here, I think.

    I couldn't live without it.

    If you want to be self-sufficient about your caffeine, yaupon holly and related plants have caffeine and related chemicals, and can be made rather good. Roast the leaves in a pan untill browned, along with mint, and use like tea when ready, though prefferably immediatly. A nursery should have, or be able to get it.

    Or mate is quite good, and not too expensive, though I don't know how much it takes to make a cup.

    I have no proof, but I've heard coffee prices are going to be dropping by the end of the year. There was a spike because of crops doing poorly, but they are starting to thrive again.

    The thing that gets me is that none of the major coffee brands sell a full pound anymore. A can of Folgers is 11oz now.

    That's nothing new. It's been that way for quite some time now...

    Everything is like that. Shrink the package, keep the same price. Sneaky price increases.

    Glen, this is random and surprised me a lot...but the GloriaJeans plunger coffee for sale in the supermarkets here in Oz is actually realllllly good! I never would have expected that - considering how crap the coffee in their cafes is - but give it a go.

    Can't remember how much it costs though - probably about the same as $12.90. :(

    I also buy coffee without checking the price, it's as nessercary as breathing and I don't wanna know how much I am spending!

    I actually switched from whole bean to instant. I drink Nescafe' Suave. It's a mixture of expresso and regular coffee, it's strong and yummy and tastes fucking great with my hazelnut coffee creamer. Not to mention I get a fresh cup every time and I don't have to deal with a fucking coffee maker anymore.
