Have you noticed that our prices haven’t risen with the rest of the coffee market? That’s no accident.
Worldwide, green coffee was up 38.8% from 2023 to 2024. Some sources claim roasted coffee is up 75% in 5 years. Rosted coffee in the US is up about 13% in a year. It went up 2.5% from May to June this year!
With the exception of a small decaf adjustment, our prices haven’t gone up.
Why are we working so hard to keep our prices low? Because our primary goal is to support our kids’ coffee shops. We want them to be able to stay competitive. Awesome coffee drinks are a luxury, so if the prices climb too much, people will drink less. Our wholesale prices are the same for everybody, so you all win!
How are we doing it? Roaster Ron is good at watching global news and analyzing trends, so he pre-bought tons of our favorite coffees before the biggest recent price jump. Literal tons. Our very first coffee bean order a few years ago was 300 lbs. For perspective, these bags are 150 lbs each. Our roastery is stuffed with green coffee right now.
We also reformulated our espresso blend to replace the most expensive bean so that didn’t have to go up 20% in price. You feel that with every latte, mocha, and Americano.
We will eventually have to pay more, and we’ll eventually have to raise our prices. Inflation always happens. But we can hold off for now. We want to keep delicious premium Blue Ox Coffee in your hands as much as we can! We want to help Walker Bay Coffee Co. and Blue Ox Coffee House stay competitive in their prices, and keep all their treasured customers and friends coming in the doors as frequently as possible!
Thank you all for making this a really fun job and a successful adventure! 😊 ☕️
