PeterRS Posted April 8 Posted April 8 I read recently that a number of factors have negatively affected the price of coffee - meaning your morning cuppa is going to cost more, perhaps even considerably more. As a convert to Nespresso machines (yes, I know: the coffee is not quite as tasty as that freshly ground but it is much more convenient for me), I noticed in January that my favourite flavour had risen by around 12%. Seeing thereafter that the price of wholesale arabica beans has doubled in a year and that ground roast coffee in the USA was at an all-time high, I decided to buy more now. Droughts and weather-related factors in Brazil have seen a drop in exports of 11.3%. In Vietnam a drop of 39.5%. Added to the effects of climate change, here in Asia there has been a substantial increase in drinking coffee in China. As I result, I recently was back at Nespresso buying 300 more capsules. https://caffeinespots.com/news/why-coffee-prices-in-thailand-just-got-more-expensive/ Quote

Nespresso lost quality around 5 years ago. Quote

Nespresso lost quality around 5 years ago. I have never seen Nespresso capsules in Starbucks, but will check, thanks. On the other hand, I tried out many Nespresso flavours before I finally found one I really like. That is the only one I purchase. Quote

I'm not sure if they are on sale in cofe-shops tho, I buy in e-shops Quote
Moses Posted April 8 Posted April 8 Jardin with chocolate flavor is OK too, and in any cases better than chocolate flavor from Nespresso, but is not so good as Starbucks. Intensity 8. Quote
vinapu Posted April 8 Posted April 8 I don't want to spoil anybody's fun but I have cousin who makes out living from repairing household appliances. With great certainty he told me ' if you ever saw how those coffee machines look inside you would never drink coffee from them again" KeepItReal 1 Quote
