Why Coffee Prices Are So High — And What Your Café Can Do About It

Why Coffee Prices Are So High — And What Your Café Can Do About It

Right now, coffee is more expensive than it’s been in about 50 years. The price of green coffee (the raw beans before roasting) has gone way up. This is due to a mix of bad weather in coffee-growing countries, rising shipping costs, and ongoing global supply issues. All of these things have pushed up the cost for roasters and, in turn, for cafes like yours.

What This Means for Café Owners

If you run a café, you’re probably already feeling the pressure. Here are some common problems:

• Higher costs from your coffee supplier

• Tighter profit margins — you're paying more but trying not to raise prices too much

• Inconsistent supply — sometimes it’s harder to get the beans you need, when you need them

• Brand dilution — customers may not recognize your café’s unique offering if you’re using generic blends

A Better Way Forward

One way to deal with these rising costs is to buy coffee in bulk at fair, wholesale prices. Buying in larger quantities helps keep the price per kilo lower — and that adds up quickly over time.

Even better, we offer a solution where your café can receive custom-branded coffee bags. That means:

• You get high-quality, specialty coffee at a stable, fair price

• You save money by buying in bulk

• You keep your brand front and center — customers see your name on the bag

• You can even sell retail coffee bags for extra revenue

At a time when margins are tight and competition is high, this is a smart way to stay ahead.

Let us help you save money and grow your brand — without compromising on quality.
