$3 Coffee

What happened to the price of coffee? Suddenly, two places I frequent, Thyme and Huckleberry, both charge over $3 for coffee. Coffee was already overpriced at $2 per cup, but what is the meaning of this 50% price jump? Are places struggling to make money? Did coffee bean prices go up? Are they manufacturing more expensive beans? I will admit - the coffee quality at both these places is excellent. But $3 a cup makes me feel like a fool, especially when I can make Peet's French Press (pretty damn good) for less than a $0.25 per two cups. I think they've just priced me out.
