Didn’t they remove coffee ?

They removed some sizes of coffee packaging I believe.

They removed a specific category of size can of coffee, that isn't widely available anymore. It's a big nothing burger, that the echo chambers of idiots have gotten ahold of. It's like being pissed that 8-track tapes and polaroid cameras are being taken out of the calculation.
CPI requires constant adjustment because it bases everything on a set basket of goods. There's no way to use the same basket from the 70s as now. Whereas PCE captures expenses in categories. PCE is far superior and that's why you hear, the fed cares about it more. CPI is flawed regardless imo, even for it to operate correctly, it still needs constant tweaks and recalculations like this.
