Dear Beans... Your figure is still too high. I'm from a generation
that
bought 5 pounds for $10.

Really, agreed with Maren.
You probably can still buy some kind of coffee at $2/pound but it
won't be mine. I pick, and fertilise my outside, of course with my
SO, and eat and sleep in my house in Honaunau for which we pay a
mortgage to a local bank and buy health insurance from a local
provider, and pay all of our taxes and fair wages etc. etc..

It isn't inflation, Maren... I haven't tried to figure what the
inflation adjusted price will be, but I'm sure that the present price
is much higher. Remember that the $10 price is from the wholesale
prosessor of the bean and not the grower. If we had purchased it from
the grower, we probably could have gotten an even lower price.
