I wonder if what seems like much higher margins in coffee allow for more articles like this. While I want what they are saying to be true, I wish I did not have to pay $15.00 for a 26 ounce can of coffee.

$10/lb sounds very reasonable for a grown, hand picked, fermented, washed, dried, shipped, roasted, packaged, and delivered seed.

Coffee is not really hand picked. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCOMM84jhZg

The cost of raw coffee has nearly tripled in 18 months, that's what's driven the price increases. That has not been due to the cost of processing and shipping so much as poor coffee growing seasons in major growing areas reducing primary production. Though growing, processing, and transport inputs have all suffered a lot of inflation in the past 5 years too, to be sure.

This is not expensive. In my part of the world I'm paying $15-20 for 250 g (9 oz).

Arguably one of you just has better taste in coffee, especially at ~$10/lb
