There is less coffee this year, so prices go up.
Coffee prices are going up around the world.
The weather in Brazil was bad this year.
Brazil grows a lot of coffee. Bad weather means less coffee.
Coffee shops now pay more money. Some coffee will cost more for you too.
A smaller-than-expected harvest is pushing wholesale prices higher worldwide.
Coffee prices are rising around the world after bad weather damaged this year's harvest in Brazil, which grows more coffee than any other country.
A period of unusually dry weather, followed by an unexpected frost, damaged coffee plants across several growing regions.
Because there is less coffee available, the price that roasters and shops pay has gone up sharply in the past month.
Analysts say prices in cafes may rise slightly over the coming months, though some shops are trying to absorb the extra cost for now.
Drought and an unseasonal frost have squeezed supply from the world's top producer.
Wholesale coffee prices have surged in recent weeks after a combination of drought and an unseasonal frost damaged crops across several of Brazil's major coffee-growing regions, the world's largest producer of the crop.
Traders say the reduced harvest has tightened global supply at a time when demand, particularly in Asia, has continued to grow, pushing futures prices to their highest level in several years.
Some smaller roasters have already raised menu prices to offset higher costs, while larger chains say they are absorbing the increase for now to avoid alienating customers.
Analysts caution that prices could remain elevated into next year unless growing conditions improve, since coffee trees typically take several years to recover fully from drought stress.
