Price of Coffee!!! Dunkin Donuts = JUNK!!!!
What happened?? Is there some sort of coffee bean shortage?
Every few weeks I buy 4 - 1# bags of coffee at Dunkin Donuts. I do that because if you buy 4 bags they give you a pretty good discount. 4 bags is normally $20. Well, today I go in and they are now charging $26 for 4 bags!!! :Angry
Is China starting to drink coffee or something?

We're talking about coffee here. Please stay on topic.

You're gripe is not about the coffee.

Is this kinda like how they argue in Politics??
Ok...I like the coffee, I don't like the price so I guess technically you are correct. So, now I'll just say I hate Dunkin Donuts for raising the price. I'm going to boycott something.
In the past year coffee futures have nearly doubled due to supply and demand factors as well as speculative trading on futures markets driven by large infusions of cash from hedge funds and index funds engaged in financial speculation. Coffee futures contracts are traded on the New York Board of Trade.
This speculative futures trading, in anticipation of higher prices in the future, has occurred across the commodity markets and is attributed to the low interest rates being maintained by the Federal Reserve driving large amounts of money into commodity markets, which in turn has helped to drive up commodity prices, including coffee prices – coffee futures have nearly doubled in the last twelve months.
Meanwhile the massive new U.S. debt that has accrued in the last few years has driven down the value of the U.S. dollar which effectively creates higher commodity prices for all Americans, so coffee prices going up is due to reasons beyond simple supply and demand.
Emerging Economies Driving High Demand for Fine Arabica Coffee
The demand for Arabica coffee has been outpacing supply due in part to large new demand in emerging markets including China, Brazil and India. At the same time there have been numerous supply disruptions due to inclement weather (e.g., Indonesia, Brazil, Colombia) as well as coffee plant diseases and pests that have hurt production.
Demand for coffee has remained strong in the United States even during the years of the economic downturn. Meanwhile demand in emerging markets has risen at much higher rates than the two percent increase in worldwide demand and this is a big part of why coffee prices are going up.

It's hard to argue with people that don't know what they want. Hell that's how Henson voted for who he did.
Boycott your taxes.. that'll teach the responsible persons.

Most of the time. Unless I'm making espresso or an iced latte.
