i think coffee was always expensive if you want the good stuff(in the states) the cheap brands are cheap for a reason. i think because coffee requires such a intensive and specific environment to grow. thats why the customers are often well off, and almost no “middle class or poorer buys them”
Not much better in the states. A can of cheap coffee (~686g) now costs about $13 here, and the better stuff can ring up at $20 or more at the same size.
Just over a year before that, the cheap stuff was half the price (!)
Juhla Mokka is not my cup of coffee but Lidl does have affordable options. Herkku coffees from S group are surprisingly good as well and cost ~5€. I used to buy Nordqvist Reko, it was a decent and pretty affordable fairtrade & organic option. Nowadays I mostly drink tea.
500g of somewhat decent ground coffee costs 8-9€ in a grocery store.

Assuming you’re from Finland, Hieno Mokka in LIDL costs 5€ a pack and is indistinguishable from Juhla Mokka.
