In Focus-Weekend | Coffee Blues: Will Record Price Surges Hurt Our Daily Fix?
Coffee is more than a beverage—it’s a sensory ritual. But in 2025, global coffee prices are at a fifty-year high, sending shockwaves down to Indian households. Even long-trusted South Indian brands, staples of middle-class homes, are becoming costlier.
Will the “ordinary” filter kaapi or takeaway latte soon feel like a bigger luxury?
In this weekender episode, we explore the reasons behind rising prices, how it’s reshaping consumption, and whether there’s a way to hold on to our morning lifeline.
