SCRIPPS NEWS (video) Rising Coffee Prices

The average price in September, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics for ground coffee products like Maxwell House was $9.33 a pound. So that's among the highest that we've seen it - up about 50% since the past 2 years. Also, let's not forget that Brazilian coffee was hit with a 50% tariff back in 2025. Even though it was lifted in November, those brands buy coffee on the futures market so the coffee on our supermarket shelves today was bought and roasted months ago.
