People with common morning habit urged to make major routine change

While everyone differs when it comes to their morning routine, it's clear there are simply some things many of us do as soon as we rise to kick the day off right.

However, people with one particularly common morning habit may end up needing to make a pretty major tweak to their routine following the announcement of US president Donald Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs.

Now, after declaring a national economic emergency last Wednesday (2 April), Trump announced tariffs on billions of dollars of goods of at least 10 percent and, for countries he deemed the 'worst offenders', the rates can go exponentially higher.

Economists have since issued warnings over the newly-announced levies which could end up increasing prices for Americans.

This is because the companies importing the goods may end up passing the costs of the tariffs on to customers or simply bring fewer products into the country which, in turn, creates a limited supply.

"These tariffs are going to raise prices for American people in a way that directly affects their everyday lives," said Kimberly Clausing, a professor at UCLA Law and a former Treasury Department economist. "For consumers, this will be the biggest tax increase they’ve faced in 50 years, in the form of price increases."

And coffee could be one of these popular consumer goods that becomes quite the pricey item for those in the States.

This is because nearly all of the coffee gulped down each morning in the US comes from outside the country, meaning it could soon have a larger strain on Americans' wallets.

Now, the States sources the majority of its coffee from Brazil and Colombia - two nations which are subject to the baseline 10 percent tariffs.

Speaking to the Washington Post, owner of San Francisco coffee roastery, Graffeo, Walter Haas explained: "Once tariffs hit, we’ll feel it immediately - literally the next day."

Noting that he’s already raised prices by eight percent this year to offset rising costs, the business owner added: "Tariffs will directly impact coffee prices - and if they remain in place, those costs will be permanently baked into the price consumers pay."

After making the realisation that the price of their cup of joe could become a little more of a luxury treat than a morning staple, people rushed to social media to share their thoughts on the impending price hike with one Instagram user writing: "NOT THE BEANS!!!! NOT THE BEANS!!!!"

"That’s great!! NOT!" hit out a second while a third chimed in: "Not my coffee!"

Another lamented: "Not the coffee!"

Another person quipped: "... time to downsize to a small coffee?"
