How to save money on your morning cup of coffee after prices jump 20% over the past year

The cost to get your morning jolt of caffeine continues to rise.

The price of a cup of coffee is now up more than 20% compared to last year, more than any other item tracked by the government.

The main problem in the supply chain is caused by droughts and weather conditions in Brazil and Southeast Asia.

And with these higher prices, customers are split on whether they would be willing to give up their coffee.

To grind down the costs, people are getting creative, trying instant coffee or espresso to save money.

Experts say can also cut costs by buying coffee beans in bulk, and storing them in a dark, airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Also, try reusable coffee filters and store leftover coffee in the fridge or freezer to help keep it fresh for later.
