Well,
I know we have our fun joking about it here in SYM......
but it might be a wake up call (
play on words wasn't intended, but hey, it works)
for some people.

(I've been making money off my investments
)But relax...there's always next year when coffee will get reasonable again. (Maybe)
Currently the two largest producers of coffee have severe issues... Vietnam went back into quarantine with martial law and closed ports...but they didn't have any shipping containers either and it's going to be a while before they get any.
Brazil actually had frost in the coffee growing areas and drought at the same time. (It's in a jungle/rainforest) so all the coffee trees lost their leaves and aren't producing. Columbia is one step away from total political and civil chaos...they actually had the streets blocked to the harbor to keep from selling the coffee. (They are still upset)
Things are rough and not getting better for a while for coffee.

17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

The best they can hope for is some form of Robusta coffee... Arabicas is relegated to tropical rainforest climates...and California doesn't have the water.
Coffee trees require 5 years to produce and is an extremely labor intensive product. Otherwise you end up with no bean and all cherry. And unripe or rotten cherries make for bad coffee.
Every cherry is hand picked because they don't ripen consistently on the trees. The longer they take to ripen the better the coffee.
Then there's the whole processing of the beans at the center... again more labor intensive work with getting the "paper" off and drying. All done by hand.
Currently green Robusta coffee is selling for a little over $2,083 for 10 metric tonnes of beans. (Unroasted coffee is called green)
Roasted coffee can get really expensive...up to $12-24/lb and even $50/lb if it's special. (And considering the heavy competition it needs to be)
There's a good reason that coffee is a second class nation job...lots of work and very little to show for it. I don't see Californians able to survive on those kinds of wages.
