Coffee Inflation

 I walked into a German coffee shop today...ordering a double-espresso.  Back in 2020...it would have been 2.40 Euro (about $2.90).

Today, 22 Feb 2024?  It was 4.5 Euro (about $5).   

The German gal was nice about it....giving me a mini-cookie.  It was one of those that had about 30 calories.  

I sat there and contemplated this.  By the end of 2025...it'll likely be up to about 5 Euro ($5.50).  

The sad thing?  I can't really whine about this to the German wife because she will freak out and get all hyped-up....telling me not to buy coffee, and just wait till we get home....to have home-brewed coffee.
