No way in the world would I pay $12 for a cup of coffee.

I'd do without.

It will close a lot of coffee shops in regional cities & towns.

I'm reluctant to pay $8 for a schooner of mid strength beer.....yet they want $11 or $12 for one in Brisbane a kilomtere away from the brewery.

luckily at the moment XXXX has a special on pints - so I get one for $8.30.

I pay $6.60 to $6.80 for a schooner at my local Hockey/Sports Club.

Surely they should pay you for drinking XXXX   :-/

The world coffee market is in trouble and you want to make it about politics and blame Albo.

Exactly what do you want Albo to do about world coffee production ?

I would be willing to try to drink it if they would pay a few dollars in compensation.

I agree about coffee we would lose several coffee chains, I love the occasional cappuccino but my max is $5.50. I see an opportunity to open a quality tea outlet. 

Well during COVID, the nations of Coffee production did say their work forces had dropped by 2/3rds.
I guess Coffee has become in short supply possibly?

Climate collapse, because humans are burning excessive fossil fuel, deforesting, and other short term behaviours.

And what did Labor do last terms ... opened up more coal and gas.

We already pack out ours coffee with carob. Tried roast acorn, preferred carob.

You do know anything agricultural has good and bad seasons. Seasons are not climate. ;)

read the previous post. Coffee production is up. ::)

I've been buying the Aldi 'Luxe Blend' coffee beans.
Hands down the best supermarket coffee.

$22/kg
100 shots per bag
$0.22 per serve

One in the morning and put a shot in the small thermos for the road.

China have transferred from a tea drinking nation to coffee drinkers dramatically increasing the demand for coffee. Supply hasn't kept up with a couple of years of crop failure due to growing conditions in major production areas. There is a combination of demand up corresponding with production down.

You may have heard about it - its called supply and demand.

Production Trends and Factors:
Global coffee production increased by 4% from 2023 to 2024, but remains below the all-time highs reached in 2022.
Coffee prices have risen due to concerns about a prolonged drought in Brazil affecting supply.
Global stockpiles of coffee are at their lowest level since 2018.
Environmental factors like heavy rains and droughts can impact production in specific regions.
Climate change poses a threat to coffee production, particularly for Arabica coffee, as it may become less viable in the coming decades.

Oh dear. Somewhere, sometime in the future it MAY happen. Rather like the death of the Arctic ice. ;D ;D ;D ;D

"May sea ice extent in the Arctic averaged 12.56 million square kilometers (4.85 million square miles), tying with 2004 for seventh lowest on the 47-year satellite record (Figure 1a). Arctic sea ice extent is 640,000 square kilometers (247,000 square miles) above the record low May ice extent set in 2016."

If you have a look here 2005 is  the lowest point for winter ice.

You do know coffee is a tropical crop, and that is supposed to have less warming than the poles, according to the models.

Humans go extinct. Sure there will definitely be less demand for crops such as coffee.

The Amazon rainforest is facing a serious threat of potentially turning into a savanna due to deforestation and climate change. This is happening particularly in the south and southeast Amazon, where the forest is losing its ability to absorb carbon and is instead emitting more. If deforestation continues at its current rate, the rainforest could reach a tipping point within years, potentially losing 20% to 25% of its area, which could dramatically alter the ecosystem.

Brazil being the biggest coffee bean producer ... will be impeded with the collapse of Earth's lungs.

Understand the only thing that Australia makes is coffee!!!


The direct result from Hawk and Keating sending all our manufacturers to China.

In any case Albo would not care until he cannot get his blonde hair tip dye.

$6 pulls me up for a coffee and if it’s not the best coffee on earth, keep it

I have had less and less coffee when out now.
Unless it’s a long day and I’m away from home and I feel desperate for a cuppa … then I will buy it.
But I’m using my own coffee machine at home, with organic milk.
If hubby and I went for a coffee … that’s about $11 and no food with that. It’s become a luxury now to sit and have a coffee/hot chocolate when out. The change looks smaller and smaller out of the twenty dollar note.
I do feel sorry for shops/cafes as even milk prices have soared.

Quote:

Coffee to cost $12

and worth every cent

for real coffee that is. The coffee flavoured milkshakes most people drink is only worth the cost of a cup of milk.

What really peeves me is a lot of cafes use really ordinary coffee and charge a premium price. $8 for a coffee made with Vittoria, no thanks.

Also too often the barrista doesn't even know the shot channeled and is weak as piss.

I’m very concerned about the small business/ coffee shops.

They are the main business in many regional towns and a great employer for many young people.

They pay massive rent, huge electricity costs plus insurance.

Once people refuse to pay $12 a coffee they lose their business.

No one is going pay $25 for avo on toast without a coffee.

As far as the milk goes, have  just returned from flood hit mid north coast towns.

No dairy farmer is breaking even.

The cost of the milk at the farm gate is closer to what it cost to buy water out of your tap.

Obviously someone other than the farmers are making big $$$ out of selling milk but it’s all finished now anyway.

The Chinese are on the ground and buying up all the farms.

The struggles are being noticed but it’s been going for a while to get to breaking point.
Hubby works 2 days a week at a huge food complex… and over the past year it has lost a lot of runs as other businesses and factories close down.
Hubby says things have changed at work… they are not ordering as much as they used to.
It’s like a dominoes effect…
I’ve also noticed recently closed down food shops up for lease in our locality.
Hubby keeps saying… the goal seems to be we have to try and hold onto what we have as utilities and food costs escalate.
We aren’t saving anything like we used to be able to 30 years ago…we are just managing to keep our heads above water.
Each time we get a bill… be it insurance, rates… it’s always irksome.
Just our council rates alone are nearly $100 per week!
That’s BS.

They were - not so much now.

The biggest dairy aggregate in Australia in Tasmania was sold to the Chinese - they ran it into the ground - mistreated animals & lost a massive contract - so they have sold it.


Quote:

The remaining slice of a 200-year-old farming property in Tasmania's north-west is up for sale, following years of controversy, unrealised grand ambitions, allegations of animal cruelty and mismanagement, and the recent loss of a major milk contract. The property last sold in 2016 for $280 million in a contentious purchase to a Chinese investment company after an eleventh-hour bid that staved off two rival bids by Australian companies. At the time of its sale, it was the largest dairy operation in Australia, spanning a vast 143,500 hectares, milking 17,890 cows over 7,062 hectares. On Monday, billionaire Chinese businessman Xianfeng Lu announced he would sell off the last 9,500 hectares of his landholdings at remote Woolnorth.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2024-04-30/tasmanian-van-dairy-sells-final-parcels-of-historic-woolnorth/103779468

From your reference -

" Using 10 years of yield observations from 798 farms across South East Asia coupled with high‐resolution precipitation and temperature data, we used hierarchical Bayesian modeling to quantify robusta's optimal temperature range for production. "
...

" We demonstrate that robusta has an optimal temperature below 20.5°C (or a mean minimum/maximum of ≤16.2/24.1°C), which is markedly lower, by 1.5–9°C than current estimates. In the middle of robusta's currently assumed optimal range (mean annual temperatures over 25.1°C), coffee yields are 50% lower compared to the optimal mean of ≤20.5°C found here. During the growing season, every 1°C increase in mean minimum/maximum temperatures above 16.2/24.1°C corresponded to yield declines of ~14% or 350–460 kg/ha (95% credible interval)"

What milk does everyone use to make coffee at home?
I can taste differences in milks and cannot stand any milk except full cream homogenised ORGANIC milk!
It truly makes a difference for my sensitive taste buds.
When milk runs out… sometimes hubby takes an initiative to buy it… and just normal crappy milk coz it’s cheaper!
I just think yuk… crap milk crap coffee!
I can’t wait for it to finish so I can buy a more pricey organic milk.
And… if it’s running low, my organic milk… and there’s other crappy milk in fridge, I hide my milk so he can use the crappy one he buys  ;D
What difference would he know…he uses it for his hot oat breakfast.
He never has coffee … he wouldn’t understand.
And he has black tea with honey…. He really wouldn’t understand me… a coffee drinker!  ;D
So what’s everyone’s fave milk?

Barista coffee is only slightly better than instant coffee. I have no issues paying $4.50 for a large cup of coffee from coffee stores. But given the nature of $12 for a coffee being alleged, I doubt that anyone would be interested in going out for coffee anymore.

If milk is homoginised it is never organic.

I use any labelled as full cream.

There are still differences as to how well it froths going by brand.

I was at one stage buying a local dairies full cream milk product(even though pasteurised) that would actually have the cream settle to the top......

beautiful milk but it never frothed very well - not that I wanted heavy froth ... just a small amount.

One brand I like is a product called Farmers Own - exclusive to Woolworths - same deal it doesn't froth that well but tastes great.

Been some controversy a few years back though.

https://www.townsvillebulletin.com.au/news/woolworths-accused-of-misleading-customers-with-milk-labelling/news-story/5b8d0e33f9ec4ecd1c92bf48acc7102a#:~:text=%E2%80%9CFarmers'%20Own%20milk%20is%20exclusive,closer%20relationship%20with%20their%20customers.%E2%80%9D

In my opinion "organic" milk is raw milk - straight from the farm - no pasteurisation, no homogenisation.

Organic milk - ONLY from organic cows. ;)

Do you get a bundled deal? Coffee as well as your weed?

At $US21 for 12 oz - 0.75 of a pound.

I can buy in Australia 2.2 lbs (1kg) of coffee beans for AU$21.

That's US$13.62.

You're being ripped off.... plus you're buying from a country where they're knocking down the rainforest to grow your over priced Cartel coffee.

That would be a fair assumption ... but to say Barista coffee( ground coffee beans) is only slightly better than instant coffee shows you know SFA about what decent coffee is.

Even the worst Barista coffee is far better than any instant.

I have to admit, I have to agree. I don't know much about coffee. I only drink it during the colder times of the year. It is black tea that I drink during the warmer months (and usually cold).

I have tried the expensive barista coffee a few times. It is good. But, I don't see that the quality is considerably better than instant coffee. I microwave the coffee for three minutes before adding some milk. It is good enough for 80% of the drink until I get to the grounds near the bottom of the cup.

Coffee is everywhere in America. If it's not that toilet bowl swill known as Starbucks on every street corner then it some soulless "independent" place right next to it.

Yeah, I didn't read it, either but it tells me that as an entitled white person living in the USA I can drink this crap all day with no guilt.

MAGA :D

That's worth the price alone. As for the swill you buy? Third-rate beans that failed to sell elsewhere. By the sounds of it you don't drink coffee, you drink used motor oil.

I was a late bloomer to coffee at 25 until some mates forced me to have one. The smell of it always put me off.
So I had to chew down a big mug of something like 10 teaspoons of coffee and 6 teaspoons of sugar in it. It was pure mud.

...within the hour I was driving from Sydney to Melbourne for the first time and I didn't even know why?

I have no doubt that Americans drink more coffee than Australians. It is just that I make a better coffee in my microwave than some coffee store in America would. Starbucks opened and then closed in Australia quite infamously. I bet Australian coffee would be heaven to Americans.

You probably woke up to the fact that you had to get out of Sydney for a place a little more Australian.

Melbourne & Sydney. Same sh#t, different smell.

In Singapore at the moment, 2-7$ for coffee. The best I have found cost me $6, some of the cheaper ones taste very milky.
