Cuppa Joe

If you're like me you likely enjoy a steaming cuppa joe; maybe two.  And you're sorta cheap frugal.   

Anyway, if your favorite morning beverage is an Americano or a Latte - coffee drinkers are steamed. 

Roasted coffee prices at the grocery store are up 22% in the past year, more than any other item tracked by the government. Prices at some coffee shops are going up too. $10 latte, anyone?   

The price increases are due to bad weather in the world’s coffee-growing regions and the Trump Administration’s 50% tariffs.

If you're paying $8 for a cup of anything only once a day you can save over $2500 per year by making it home. That vacation trip might be realistic if you buy your own beans and a Mr. Coffee.

Today’s challenge: Learn how to make a cup of coffee at home. I know you can do it. Be strong.
