      Kind of glad I panic-bought ground Columbian coffee and froze it. Not that that’s great, but better than nothing.

        But why would you buy ground? A grinder is like $10. You can grind 3-4 days at a time if you don’t like cleaning.

        You don’t understand, tariff is promoting the emergence of American made alternative, by next week you will find American grown coffee and bananas in the supermarket.

          The best middle-men in this situation are the ones sidestepping the tariffs entirely.

          Not like Colombia doesn’t already have a rich history of smuggling high-demand US contraband over the border, but it will be weird to start getting all my coffee shipped by way of Langley.
