Not only Starbucks, I’d venture to add:
☕ Brazil’s Coffee Output Plunge

LOL I hate coffee and barely drank a few cups thru my whole life, ‘trying to like it’ but omg I despised it so ya’ll are gonna have to deal with this price increase and find ways to pay for your addiction HAHA
I get it tho, feel for you guys cause I know when my meat and seafood prices hike I get IRKED! Up and up the prices go!

Coffee is so inexpensive to make, that I am always amazed that people will pay Starbuck’s prices for it. They must have a wonderful mark-up.

This isn’t about Starbucks. For anyone who didn’t bother to read the article:
About 70% of the world’s Arabica beans are grown in Brazil…
…global supplies are shifting into a deficit as drought in Brazil slashes output. This has resulted in surging wholesale prices and US supplies slumping to a six-year low…
In Canada, don’t know about the US, we have Winners, a discount dept store. I discovered a few months ago that Winners also sells coffee (and some keto products some of which are not loaded with junk!). So recently I’ve been buying my coffee discoveries there and saving a few bucks.

Well, I believe my thought was that, whatever Starbuck’s price goes up to, it’ll still be a lot cheaper to make my own.

No, they’re just flavours not real stuff. Keto coffee is my first meal of the day. It contains a mix of protein and fats to my current macros. The coffee flavour is there and I enjoy tasting different flavours. But it’s a real meal not an appetizer.

Way higher prices actually would do good to me (and bad to others so of course I don’t wish that. and I need coffee for a few things anyway). I already think about all the waste of money on a totally useless stuff (at least in excess. I like the taste of coffee but drink way too much), I could just stop drinking coffee then, it would be great…
And I drink so many cups of coffee a day that I can just drink half as much and it’s still several…
I already use one of the cheapest instant coffee. I only drink instant coffee for reasons. I like the smell of “proper coffee” but that’s it, I am happier with my instant.
Of course, I may try to make weaker coffee… But that will be quite transparent then 
I could drink cocoa instead of coffee, the two are very similar to me (I mean, they can substitute each other. they are very different tasting) but cocoa is even less carnivore, not like I do carnivore nowadays but I try to stay very close.
But as long as I has more or less clean water to drink (our well has problems sometimes but my immune system and guardian angel need the training… it’s just gross sometimes, I drink tea and carbonated water then), I should be fine.
(I tried Starbuck’s once. It was awful. I don’t understand the hype.)

I rarely have Starbucks, but I did have one a few weeks ago, and it wasn’t bad. I remember them being much more “burnt” flavored, and that wasn’t there.
