    BLS is not removing coffee from the Consumer Price Index. Because of changes in the way items (such as coffee) are packaged, we sometimes discontinue specific package size categories. Indexes and average price data for coffee are still being published. data.bls.gov/timeseries/APU…

    Yes, the Consumer Price Index accounts for package size. For example, if a box of cereal is the same price from one month to the next, but the box was 16 oz. in the first month and 15 oz. in the second month, the CPI counts that as a price increase because price per ounce rose.
