STARBUCKS COFFEE POEM = $$
Around 1615 coffee came to Western Europe
Raising a huge controversy and warning cry.
Some said it was intoxicating and poisonous
And any whom consume it will die.
No one knows how coffee was discovered
Though it is said its effects were known before A.D. 575.
Persian armies carried and ate its seeds for strength
Which in battle could decide who would perish or survive.
Arabs where the first to brew its bitter seeds into a drink
In an attempt to make it taste better and easier to consume.
Soon the new beverage spread to Turkey and Europe
As the world became addicted to the harvest of its bloom.
Thank God for caffeine found in coffee
Which helps multitudes make it through the day.
Like ancestors of the past it helps energy to last
And for its stimulant we are eager to pay.

Fake news . Coffee is at 2 years low and crashing down and climite change hox has been exposed again.
Your morning coffee will cost you now under new prime minister truss what you pay now 2.80 truss new price £. 7.90 who will pay this truss you need locking up your cranky
That's old news. We (brazilians) had an out off season cold wheather last year that killed a lot of crops and fires because of the dry weather (abnormal). In 2024 the production should be normal (if fertilizer is not so expensive -> Russia x Ucrain war is causing that).
Bring back sanka.
Well there goes my entire breakfast.
Finally i knowthe real reason ehy my coffee cost me more than 30%
If Starbucks goes out of business, millions of Americans will be able to start a savings account.
And the Dems are just smiling and laughing at us peasants
😑
who doesn't have instant coffee?
You buy a jar of Folger's Crystals, you put it in the cupboard, you forget about it. Then later on when you need it, it's there. It lasts forever. It's freeze-dried. Freeze-dried Crystals.
Making coffee at Home never seemed smarter lol
Coffee is NOT a necessity. Make your own at a much reduced price and put that $5 into real food for your family.
Brazil isn't the only country that grows coffee.. Don't drink Starbucks!!
well, if they are increasing prices in rent, food, coffee and gas but no increase in pay we will no longer be able to afford a lot of these luxuries. Such as coffee shops and even regular foods, and or rent…
Its getting out of hand.
If this isn't a reason to immediately take drastic measures to address climate change, then the human race is doomed.
Extreme weather in brazil ? i dont think so haha
I am surpised the right isn't blaming Biden for this. After all, it was his fault for baby formula and global inflation.
Another climate change model prediction coming true. We've known for some time that coffee crops would be very vulnerable to the climate crisis.
IDC spend your money on starbucks. OMG coffee costs so much!! Shut up. Buy and brew it yourself instead of being a trendy sheep and getting it at a franchise.
Good job Trump. Global warming doesn't exist
that's why I buy Columbian or from Sumatra
Just have all the open boarder crossers to bring the beans.
It's inexpensive to make coffee at home. If you pay $6 every morning for a coffee and a snack and switch to making it at home for cents on the dollar, you could save about $180 a month, plus whatever it costs in the gas to drive.
Nooooooooo! I need my coffee!!!!
I remember 1 lb cans of coffee as a kid, then it went to 14 Oz then 12 Oz then 11 Oz and now I'm seeing some 10.5 Oz all so we don't notice the price hikes.
I CANT ANYMORE
A morning cup of Joe now feeling like a morning cup of inflation 🧐
I will start stockpiling, love my java.
It's all a scam people! Everything is driven by greed and racketeering!
For the Biden Administration, I was paying $599 for coffee, now I'm paying $9.99. The prices are ridiculous at the grocery store! Call it climate change call it what you want, but they're spending money where they shouldn't and it's time to help the people! It's Miss spending of money, we're not talking about the money spent on climate change that should have happened 40 years ago we knew about it then! And now the mad rush is here! But it's not it's about the war it's about everything that's going on outside of climate change and spending money so frivolously! It's our money not Biden's! But, I believe that God is in control! And I don't think he's very pleased with what he sees going on he's a good God and he loves the poor and cares for them! Which is more than I can say for the Democratic party who pretends to care for the poor!
@CRM
Storm Brewing 😏 ah ha, I see what you did there. . .
Ain't no extreme weather in Brazil, I live here, stop lying to people 😂😂
It’s the usual CNBC topic cycling of “OMG coffee is gonna be $10.” Other topics include:
we are running out of water,
we are running out of sand.
Waiting for those to hit the video cycle.
IM FROM BRAZIL 🇧🇷……no I’m not. 😆
What's next AIR !
