The economy is very different as well as the income of an average worker, here there are many brands of coffee, I don't know the price of instant coffee, it is definitely worth it.

At my mom's house they have an income with coffee from the amount of times I see them drink it a day, they think it's juice hahaha.

Yeah I can't even imagine living with such wages as in Venezuela but I also never lived in such a country. It's great that you can still drink coffee though, I kind of expected it to be a too expensive luxury item for people in Venezuela. In the end, it probably is a luxury thing as you can perfectly live without it :) But we coffee lovers don't want to haha.

Have a nice weekend!

Yeah, I always find it amazing that despite the economic situation in Venezuela, people can go to a local supermarket and have a wide array of coffee to choose from at a relatively decent price. The economy in Jamaica is bad, and if you want decent coffee which is the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, one of the most expensive coffees in the world, you are going to leave a hole in your pocket.
Luckily, Jamaicans love tea. Tea is the cure-all medicine in Jamaica, and they are big into bush tea as well:)

There was a time when it was not like that, in spite of being a coffee producing country, you could only find it on the black market at exorbitant prices, there were even people who were in charge of roasting country flour and sold it as coffee, the taste was horrible, now you can get a variety but you have to invest your time and money,

It's hard to imagine coffee on the black market, but these things do exist.
What a shame it must have been to purchase flour thinking it was coffee.
I've heard of corn coffee in the Philippines though.

🤔🤔🤔🤔 what will your taste be

Money laundering makes it possible most of the time. You could guess that easily if you visited us. I can find fancy brands in my hometown which is like the last corner of the world. But you will never see Lavazza here, for example. You'll find what snobs like best though. Sorry for being that honest; I think my coffee might've too strong this morning.

Jamaica is not far from here. I have so many romantic ideas about Jamaica; tea by the sea sounds lovely to me ❤️🌞

It is not easy but you always find a way to buy coffee and it is not a luxury item what you have to have is your money for your coffee, live without coffee noooooo hahahaha happy weekend

Haha, I get it, it gives you a happy feeling when enjoying a good cup. Enjoy!

I think Instant coffee is way overpriced. I don't buy it, but when I see the price of it on the shelves I think it's crazy. Definitely for people who are not real coffee lovers, who can drink an insipid drink filled with milk and sugar.😅

Instant coffee is just an ingredient for cakes 🤣🤣🤣 Some people think it's real coffee.

I do have instant coffee sometimes 🙈

😅I concur with all of that ✅

That coffee here is very expensive, I really don't make that investment, I prefer to prepare it in my coffee brewer that I am sure I will enjoy it.

I agree, and I believe that more people should start doing so, as maybe that would be a way to regulate coffee prices somehow.
