Whenever sailing during hurricane season, it’s important to be flexible. The size and path of storms mean that cruise lines have to regularly adjust itineraries to steer clear. Often this simply means skipping a port to stay out of the way or sometimes rearranging the ship’s schedule to visit an unaffected port of call until […] The post Pack a Jacket!

Coffee on American supermarket shelves is becoming increasingly less affordable for the average consumer. Ground coffee prices in US supermarkets surged almost 21% year-on-year in August, hitting a record $8.87 a pound, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That marks the steepest rise since the 1990s. Tariffs on Brazil and Vietnam have turned America’s most essential import into a bargaining chip. Consumers are trading down, stockpiling, or even swapping to caffeine tablets.| Coffee Intelligence

Every autumn, America undergoes the same ritual. Supermarkets stack cinnamon-scented candles, Instagram grids fill with orange foliage, and coffee chains roll out the pumpkin spice latte (PSL). Starbucks’ Pumpkin Spice Latte, first launched in 2003, is its most popular seasonal drink of all time. It drove a 24% jump in store visits on launch day last year. Even as tariffs push up costs of coffee and spices, Starbucks says 10% of sales now come from “returning favourites” like PSL.| Coffee Intelligence
J. M. Smucker raising its prices in the wake of US tariffs raises an alarm. The custodian of Folgers, Dunkin’ and Café Bustelo has long been a bellwether for America’s coffee market. But are tariffs the cause, or the final straw for a market already in decline? Smucker’s US retail coffee profits plunged 22% last quarter, as tariffs on Brazilian coffee increased input costs. Volumes fell 2% as net pricing went up 18%, signalling that households are cutting back. Tariffs could accelerate...| Coffee Intelligence

Pistachios, once a niche nut – at least on the global scene – are now a ubiquitous component of everything from lattes and chocolate bars to ice creams and cocktails. Americans consumed 225,000 tonnes of pistachios in 2024 – more than any other country. Viral hits like “Dubai Chocolate” drove $22m in sales in just three months. This has fuelled shortages and strained supply chains from Turkey to California.| Coffee Intelligence
Once dismissed as the old guard’s beverage of choice – too rural, too industrial, too unkind to the planet or the stomach – dairy milk had, until now, seemingly been ousted by its plant-based successors. US oat milk sales hit $695 million by 2024, but signs point to consumers returning to dairy. Global dairy production is rising, with 325.8 million metric tonnes of milk predicted in 2025. Gen Z isn't loyal – they’re more likely than others to switch between dairy and alt-milks.| Coffee Intelligence

It's no exaggeration to say there is an 'arms race' when it comes to building new cruise ships. With interest in cruising booming over the past decade, cruise lines continue to plan and build new ships -- and each one seems to be bigger and better than the one before. Whereas a decade or two ago you might enjoy a ship with a pool and a rock-climbing wall, new ships today have everything from go-kart tracks to waterparks to roller coasters. And that's just for activities by the pool. Head in...| Cruzely.com

Few sectors are as globally enmeshed – and as politically exposed – as coffee. In recent weeks, Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on coffee imports have sent shockwaves through the industry. Arabica prices recently surged to $4.30/lb – only to later drop 60 cents amid tariff panic. Trump’s reciprocal tariffs (and the subsequent pause) is reshuffling global sourcing, including for coffee. However, uncertainty is the real tax – and few can afford it.| Coffee Intelligence
