i think coffee was always expensive if you want the good stuff(in the states) the cheap brands are cheap for a reason. i think because coffee requires such a intensive and specific environment to grow. thats why the customers are often well off, and almost no “middle class or poorer buys them”
Juhla Mokka is not my cup of coffee but Lidl does have affordable options. Herkku coffees from S group are surprisingly good as well and cost ~5€. I used to buy Nordqvist Reko, it was a decent and pretty affordable fairtrade & organic option. Nowadays I mostly drink tea.
Not much better in the states. A can of cheap coffee (~686g) now costs about $13 here, and the better stuff can ring up at $20 or more at the same size.
Just over a year before that, the cheap stuff was half the price (!)
500g of somewhat decent ground coffee costs 8-9€ in a grocery store.

Assuming you’re from Finland, Hieno Mokka in LIDL costs 5€ a pack and is indistinguishable from Juhla Mokka.
