I was close to having a laugh but just mentioned that it really had no effect as the Brazil I wanted to buy was closer to 3x what they were paying and hadn't changed much in price. We continue to pay plenty for good Brazils and other origins as well and I'm more than happy to do that. I'd doubt that specialty coffee will "skyrocket", but if it does go up a little, so what? We'll probably just absorb it. My experience is that our clients are happy to pay for quality.
Coffee prices fluctuate and so do the prices of a whole heap of other goods. We're not oil companies after all.
