Coffee is a very valuable element for everyone in our family.
Because of everything that is happening in the economy, at a national level, it is quite difficult to buy coffee, but we look for ways to buy it, since the minimum wage in Venezuela is 4 USD$ per month and 500 gr. is 4 USD$ or even more, and coffee is only enough for approximately 10 days.
That is to say, I should have at least four minimum wages to cover or satisfy my own family's demand for coffee.
I rarely drink coffee in the street, we always prepare and consume it at home. The situation has diminished a little but a Colombian coffee was much cheaper than the national coffee and the first one is recognized worldwide for its quality; from time to time I have tried it but we always end up buying the national coffee in support, which seems to us to be a divinity.
If coffee continues to increase I think we will reduce its consumption a little but we would not stop drinking it.
What part of Venezuela are you from?
You are right, coffee in this country is becoming a luxury. Very difficult my friend. But I recommend you to buy pure, freshly ground coffee, it is much more profitable because you need less quantity to prepare a pot for the whole family.
I am in Aragua, La Victoria. That's what I thought, coffee beans are really much more reliable and pure, it costs a little more because branded coffee only comes in the presentation of 1 kg.
It is very expensive to drink coffee in your country, almost like a luxury. You have to take advantage when you have the opportunity to try a delicious cup of coffee.
Good day!
Yes, it is almost a luxury. That is why it is so highly valued, it is never wasted. To have a coffee in the street, you have to think about it.
