UPDATE:

For all those who have already sold up and boarded a plane to Melbourne, coffee in Perth will not, in fact, be hitting $10 a cup anytime soon as there are no new tax or restrictions. Happy April Fools, everyone. Love, WAtoday x

It's not good for coffee lovers.

After heavy lobbying from the agriculture industry, prices on imported coffee beans could be set to rise.

A new tax may be introduced on imported beans, meaning the average cup of coffee could rise in price by approximately $5-7.
