Coffee prices are expected to increase by one to four cents per pound across High Point within 10 days.

Dealers say current stocks will be sold before the new prices take effect as Brazil’s poor crop pushes New York futures higher. Restaurants may continue selling coffee at five cents a cup as long as possible.
