As I understand it, there's no shortage of coffee beans since countries like Viet Nam and Kenya are now producing tons of it. Coffee supply up? Yep. Wholesale coffee prices depressed? Yep. Retail coffee prices down? Nope. Up. Wonder why there's a Starbucks on every other corner?

The plantation coffee coming on line now from Viet Nam, Brazil & etc is not the good stuff.. I work with a coffee trader and their gross revenues are way down. The supply of the real good stuff is much more limited, and that is reflected in the prices..
