Coffee prices are on the rise nationally.

Be prepared to spend a little bit extra for your daily caffeine fix.

It was announced earlier this year that a fungus – known as coffee rust – left coffee plants damaged and it also thinned crops in parts of Central America.

Coupled with the fear of droughts in Brazil that may affect coffee bean supplies, coffee prices have been skyrocketing globally.

National chains such as J.M. Smucker – which distributes Folgers and Dunkin' Brand coffee – have said that their bagged, in-store products have risen about 10 percent, while stores may also have to pass on additional costs to customers.

Lisa Bee, the owner of Sweetwater Coffee & Tea, said that her cafes have had to raise some prices and even eliminate some products because they were just too expensive to purchase.

"Our pricing has increased a bit," Bee said. "(The increased cost) is something that we've been forewarned about for quite awhile. We update our pricing every year or so, and this increase (reflects the increase in coffee prices). I believe there were one or two coffees that we don't carry just because they're too pricey."

She added that some customers have been in the store asking about how prices would be impacted since they've seen stories in the national news about the uptick in prices.

At least one local shop said that they wouldn't be increasing prices due to the global pricing shift.

RoosRoast head roaster Zack Harlow said prices there would stay the same for the foreseeable future.

"Despite what's happening globally right now, we're committed to keeping prices low and not passing the cost on to our customers," he said.

Erin Angner, a local resident and frequent coffee drinker, said that the increased prices wouldn't have an impact on how much coffee she consumes because she needs her three cups of Joe every day.

"Nothing really stops you when you want your vices. I mostly am an at-home drinker of Folgers, but when I treat myself it's usually a caramel macchiato from Starbucks or something with Espresso in it," she said.

"But being an at-home mom who grocery shops, I've seen the price of coffee go up a lot. Just in the past couple years I was paying $6.98 and now recently it's been fluctuating from $8.99 to $14.99 depending on what store you go to. With me and my husband drinking three cups and a pot a day (respectively), we're not going to stop."
