    It’s actually worse here in Denmark, prices on ground coffee have more than tripled since 3 years ago.
    Back the we could get a 500g pack for a little less than $3.50 USD, now we get only 400g for $10, when on special offer you may be lucky to find it at $7. That’s 2½ times the price, even when on special offer.
    So needless to say I always buy several bags when it’s on special offer. But even then it’s more than twice the price of 3 years ago.

    Some brands are now even reducing the packages to 350g. Which isn’t much more than a half size bag used to be.

      No, I wasn’t brave enough to buy it, I have no idea how they can sell it so cheap

      You’ve got coffee shrinkflation? In Germany it’s still 500 grams, but expensive, of course. I only buy the brands that are on offer.

        Yes we have shrinkflation on coffee, we used to have 400g packages special roast that they claimed could be used to make as many cups of coffee as a 500g, but of course that’s bullshit, and it taste worse IMO.

        Some brands still have 500g packages, and one of the most popular is 10,50 Euro!
        And it’s been bought by American Keurig Dr Pepper, so I’ll never buy that again.
        I really have an urge to put small American flags on that shit.
