You have come a long way as a coffee drinker. Today many industries are run by the java bean. Buyers scamper to stores to buy coffee as the bean stock has tripled recently.
Grocery shoppers have seen staggering increases this year in the price of a can of ordinary coffee, whether it’s a generic store brand or better-known ones such as Folgers and Maxwell House. Since spring, coffee has been selling at $7 to $8 a can in many parts of the U.S. or about twice the price of a gallon of gas. (source)
