The £5 coffee that tells a story of global economic turmoil
Rising retail coffee prices across the UK (with large specialty lattes approaching £5 in London) and the US are driven by a combination of climate-related crop damage in key producing nations Brazil and Vietnam, former US President Donald Trump's tariffs on coffee exporting countries, Red Sea shipping route disruptions, upcoming EU anti-deforestation rules, and commodity market speculation. Demand for coffee remains largely price-inelastic, and industry leaders including Lavazza warn elevated prices will likely persist for at least two years even as some supply chain pressures ease.
