State of the Company - July
Spiking global oil prices and severe international shipping disruptions have heavily impacted the coffee industry. Beyond the rising cost of green coffee beans themselves, higher fuel surcharges, elevated maritime freight rates, and supply chain delays have substantially increased the expense of importing our beans and transporting supplies.
We have absorbed these surging freight and operational costs for as long as possible to keep our regular menu prices stable. However, the compounding pressure of current trade logistics means maintaining our old rates is no longer sustainable without compromising the quality of our beans or our sourcing standards. To continue delivering the coffee you expect, we have made the necessary decision to adjust our standard pricing.
Our subscription rates, however, remain completely locked and untouched. If you are a subscriber, or choose to join, your price will not change, and you will continue to receive a built-in 10% discount off every bag relative to retail pricing. Keeping our subscriptions stable is our way of protecting our core community from these market spikes and ensuring your daily brew stays reliable and affordable.
