What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHere's one for your morning cup.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA glut of coffee is coming, which should mean cheaper lattes, but The Straits Times reports it may not calm the price swings.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSounds good on the surface, but there's turbulence brewing underneath.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistPlenty of beans on the way, and your latte still gets hit with a surprise squall.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe reason is the stockpiles. The warehouses that hold certified coffee need to be rebuilt before prices settle down, and right now they're thin.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistThin! So the coffee is coming, but the shelves are bare. That's a front stalled right over your cup, Hank.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorStalled over a cup.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistAnd you'll feel it at the café.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistNot today, but eventually, the editors say, your five-dollar oat latte could climb or dip with no warning. I'd carry an umbrella for the foam.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'd like one number, please. What does the latte cost?

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistTwenty-nine point nine two inches of mercury and falling.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorI'll have tea.
