It's a $$ thing. I just got word this morning (possibly I'm a little late in finding out) that a fungus is devastating the crop on a lot of coffee plantations from Mexico down to Peru.

A good time to stock up on coffee beans, cans of ground coffee, etc. Prices will rise. Law of supply and demand.

I bought a few beans to experiment with. Supposed to be miniature plants, but I have no idea where I will winter them. But thats just one of my fancies.....I do appreciate the heads up and I will be getting a little stockpile. If it gets too bad.........hey, coffee isn't even good for me, so maybe I'll quit.

We've found freezing to be best. Depends whether you have freezer space, of course.

Wish I had known this earlier! I was in Wally World this afternoon, and would have bought more.

Kroger's here has coffee on sale this week. I got two extra cans today and I'll probably go in everyday this week and pick up more. I don't think I could get through a day if it didn't start with coffee, lol.
