Imagine, if you will, a show from NPR that's not like NPR, a show that focuses not on the important but the stupid,

which features stories about people smuggling animals in their pants and competent criminals in ridiculous science studies,

and call it, Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, because the good names were taken.

Listen to NPR's, Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, Yes, that is what it is called, wherever you get your podcast.

The last few weeks have had many of us thinking long and hard about the things we buy, the price of those

goods, and the potential for those prices to jump. As President Trump changes the rules of his

trade war every few days by signaling higher taxes on imports from certain countries or

exceptions for specific types of products, many of us are also thinking about where the goods

we buy come from.

Today, we continue our series. How did this get here? Where we follow goods as they make their way

through the global supply chain and explore what the president's announced tariffs may mean for your

pocketbook. So far in the series, we've covered the iPhone, cars, and now a product, some of you

might think is equally important to modern life.

Maybe you're sipping on some right now. I certainly wish I was. It's coffee. Coffee is everywhere.

The average person in the U.S. drinks a bit more than three cups a day, and Americans spend

almost $110 billion every year on the drink. And that amount is going up. Perhaps you've noticed the price

for your favorite brand jumped in recent months. The average price of ground coffee in the supermarket

hit an all-time high in March at $7.38 cents a pound. That's up 84% since just before the pandemic.

So what's behind that jump? Then what could tariffs and the

warming climate mean for your favorite cup of Joe? We get into it after the break. I'm Jen White. You're

listening to the 1A podcast. Back with more in a moment.
