COFFEE roasting is an industry that has been growing rapidly in Scotland over the last decade, but recent years have presented a series of challenges that have left businesses struggling to make ends meet.

With inflation set to rise, alongside the cost of shopping and transport, the economic fallout will squeeze Britons’ budgets.

BREXIT – or at least the labour shortage being caused by it – is now affecting coffee aficionados who face delays in having their favourite brew delivered.

The owner of a popular coffee shop and deli in Sheffield claimed he has been forced to increase prices because of Brexit.

Labour MP Siobhain McDonagh wasn't having any of it.

But a “no deal” scenario for Brexit could mean the price of instant coffee that has been imported from the EU goes up in shops.
