We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Check out Luna from BC. I was paying intentional shipping for a bit to the US for it because it's that damn good. They also do a lot of education and work to let you know about the entire supply chain of their lots
That is the first time I read about such problem and I live in Brazil. I mean, surely climate change will affect agriculture, but I've never seen anyone talking about how it will affect coffee production. Cocoa on the other hand is the go to affected crop when people talk about climate change effects. Also the vido mainly focuses on Colombia and it even shows data of production decreasing already happening and when I went to look into our data it still seems that our production is increasing. I guess Colombia has a smaller area and as such may be the first one to notice such changes.
Not now, but in 2050 climate maybe? There's bound to have new regions..
At the same time, if climate is that drastic by 2050, we'll have a shitload more global problems than a morning cup of coffee
Drumroaster Coffee in BC is my mainstay right now (usually go through 3-4 bags a month; their suppliers make some of the best beans I've ever tried) but I'll look into Luna, thanks!
So us coffee snobs need to convince everyone to stop buying cheap shitty coffee so that the good stuff can still be farmed in a way that makes profit?
Finally, a good reason to look down on those Maxwell house swigging fools. I'm doing it to save the planet. I've waited my whole life for this.
Watch how people start caring about climate change once coffee shortages start happening.
But real talk, I've been trying to get off of coffee & switch to tea, but I don't know how I feel about putting creamer in tea. The only thing I can stomach is vanilla chai.

I used to feel like I could take or leave coffee, and then I was introduced to the world of freshly ground, pour-over coffee every morning. So tasty, and it would break my heart to give it up. Have no problem paying a bit more for a bag of fresh beans if that would help.
I don't give two shits about coffee itself, let alone those who "can't function" without it, but for those producing it and the countries/regions that greatly rely on it for their economy it will be devastating and make an already unstable world that much worse. Especially if they cannot transition to newer more viable crops and just go bust completely, in which case we'll see a lot of poverty and unrest. Chocolate is likely to crash as it too relies on a similar narrow band of equatorial climate to grow and also relies on extremely cheap(exploited) labor and thousands upon thousands of independent growers and harvesters who have no means or support to help shore up against coming changes in climate that will likely destroy their crops and viable land. Good times.
yep. Coffee farmers, even those from prestigious regions like Hawaii Blue Mountains are being driven into indentured servitude. That's why it's important to support local cooperatives to give them a leg to stand on when dealing with global distributors.
I went cold turkey. I was really out of shape, smoking, etc. Just dropped soda and bad food, quit smoking, and starting running regularly. Only drank water and coffee for quite a while.
If I did it, you can do it.
Coffee is part of my multi-stage wake-up process in the morning, so I hope they can save it. And no, I'm not drinking a can of pop in the morning like some of you degenerates.
I saw this yesterday and I won't lie, it's alarming for me. I'm a deep coffee nerd, I have 3-4 bags of freshly roasted coffee sent to me monthly and I'm chummy with the City of Saints roasters in NY. My morning drip Coffee is my daily ritual that gives me my first success of the day to get me going. Not sure what I'd do without it, but I'm willing to pay $30 for the good stuff.
the literally do grow coffee in california though. it's one of the two states that do (Hawaii is the other)
Eureka! California-Grown Coffee Is Becoming The State's Next Gold Mine
Sure, a cup of California-grown coffee sells for about $18 a cup, but people are buying it. The niche industry is booming with no signs of slowing, and the state's farmers still can't meet demand.

This. I drink coffee that is of excellent quality and where I know the farmers are getting paid well due to the distributor's relationship with them. People, try to do this in order to make coffee farmer's lives better.

I vaguely recall this happening because coffee people were pretty annoyed with Blue Bottle buying the lot
5 years to fully mature and only 250lbs isn't a whole lot.
Haha that's what I was thinking.
Like oh shit! I'm gonna lose my favourite vice, climate change really is affecting us all!!!!! Who could have seen this coming, we were blind...blah blah
This happened with chocolate too.
All that happened was they cut less cocoa into it, raised prices, and shrunk sizes.
Same things they always do.

If it works?
Yea we should just wait until ocean levels engulf global shorelines, drinkable water becomes scarce, large areas become more arid, so that people have a little motivation to do something, oh wait it's too late
I didn't say that, so no.
What? No. It's been talked about for years that it's unsustainable. That doesn't mean I'm happy about it. What are you on about?
I tried quitting and my productivity took a massive hit.
I now understand why some people in the cooperate world are psychotic without it.
