The Coffee Market
The average price of a cup of coffee in the US is $3.28. Considering how much coffee Americans drink, we can conclude they spend a considerable amount of money on this beverage. (CreditDonkey)
The annual coffee retail sales in the US are about $5.2 billion.

Brazil exports 5.7billion pounds of coffee every year. This country is the largest coffee exporter in the world. Interestingly, Brazil produced about 80% of all the coffee in the world in the 1920s. Nowadays, according to the coffee stats, it supplies around a third of the world’s coffee. (Telegraph)

In Torn City, great attention is paid to the price of everything from Duke's Thong to the street price of Ecstasy - and yet, currently we can't buy an honest or even dodgy,rip-off cup of coffee?
Kata, I was going to keep silent but the sordid truth will come out eventually <sigh>
Ah, how could I forget that wonderful night? We were in Barbuda for Christmas, in a perfect little self-catering beach front villa.
The Caribbean pawed softly at the silver beach, leaving a lost bubble behind, while I carefully unpacked the groceries we’d lifted from our neighbour Tulip’s ‘Champion Penguin’ Pizza House and Kwik-e-Mart.
As I unloaded from the MG Midget rental the usual weekend necessities such as ammo, a pineapple ( for your headdress), some live bio yoghurt, a humorously shaped carrot and even Tulip’s island-famous Salad Dressing, I shivered in anticipation at what the coming night would hold.
We ate late and walked on the beach where the outgoing tide had left a rectangle of firm damp sand. I thought you would flip when I suggested a run, slipping the hammer into my speedos as a precaution.
‘ You having a giraffe? I’d rather kiss a bee’ – but the brandy balloon full of ‘Old Bear-Hugger' worked it’s subtle magic….within moments we were making complicated Origami patterns on the wave rippled silver sand.
When that magical weekend ended, all that was left was a garbage bag full of coffee grounds, the odd wadded tissue – and a message carefully traced in fading red crayon on my forehead :
Must be 000's of them all owning shiny stuff - PI's, race cars, pink pico's, Boxing Gloves , Parachutes...all those things that nobody and I mean NOBODY ever finds in Torn.
Player2: I would love that idea ?? I need more things to own
Don: Why I bet you there's some Lvl 40 Deserter out there sitting on a stash of Erotic DVD's he/she didn't get a chance to use or sell before the Significant Other came along and they quit Torn forever...
Bunch of USAF folks came to visit the museum I volunteer at the other day.

B- 52 ground crew earning a medal by serving outside CONUS....they understand Americans face a degree of hostility in some places..we like to baffle the shit out of them by being neighbourly. Cousins basically.
