1. Don't worry. Trump's tariffs will bring coffee manufacturing back to the US.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

2. LOL. Hawaii would be hard pressed to supply my needs, let alone the whole country.

Kona is tasty, however.

It’s like tariffs on bananas. Bring banana “manufacturing” back to the US. Build your coffee and banana factories here!

13. I wish we didn't sell off all our banana bending equipment to Costa Rica back in the sixties.

Some things I don't like.

I had something going on and went for test..MRI, the works..entire bill w/o insurance, 250 bucks

Lots of good growing areas for all three er, rather NONE

5. Coffee AND cocoa

I read about a year ago that both coffee and cocoa were going to have a really bad growing season, (especially cocoa)...We have bought many cans of coffee at our local discount grocer in the last 8-9 months, opened them and piled them full of desiccant and resealed them in a cool dark place....We ordered Ghirardelli cocoa in bulk from Amazon as soon as I head this too.

I had a sneaking suspicion that coffee was going to skyrocket with crops being poor.

8. Well, my wife's gotta learn how to make her own cocoa

12. I happened to wander down the baked good aisle at the local grocery

yesterday, and looked at the Saco Dutch cocoa. It was $7.99 for a 10-oz container.

I stocked up last year, and the cost was less than half that.

15. Ivory Coast just announced even more bad news for cocoa

Rainfall amounts were short and cold weather further hurts the crop:

7. Since we get most of our coffee from Brazil & Columbia, and since Trump is imposing a 50% tariff on Brazil...

50%, people. That’ll raise the price of a bag of beans and a cup of joe considerably.

14. ...

[W_HAMILTON]

18. It's not taken down...?

[W_HAMILTON]

20. If that's what I think it is, posts naturally get cycled through as other posts get more views/recs etc.

I wouldn't worry too much about it.
