The coffee being blocked are robusto beans from Vietnam and other Asian countries preferred by Europeans. Americans prefer Arabica beans from Central and South America. Did you know that Vietnam is the 2nd largest exporter of coffee beans in the world? But not to us.

I did not know that Vietnam was such a major exporter. Thanks for teaching me something. So I got on the Google, and the
US is Vietnam's second leading customer behind Germany. Of course those beans would come across the Pacific so no Suez issues.
