The coffee industry has always been competitive. In a market dominated by multinationals and large chains, specialty roasters and coffee shops strive to differentiate and position themselves as the higher-quality alternative. It’s challenging to say the least. An estimated 62% of specialty coffee shops close within the first five years of business, while key players capture most of the market share. Global specialty coffee consumption grows year-on-year, but still remains a small segment of the wider industry. Logistical challenges and price volatility also make it difficult to manage increasingly tight margins. So in the wake of near record coffee prices and rising inflation, a small but growing number of roasters are choosing collaboration over competition. During times of economic uncertainty, partnering with competitors on collaborative releases and long-term strategic partnerships can be a smart business move. In today’s article, Jordan Montgomery speaks to Miranda Caldwell, founder of The Coffee MBA, to find out why it has the potential to reshape the landscape of specialty coffee. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dvg5jA2M #PerfectDailyGrind #SpecialtyCoffee #CoffeePrices

I know that cold brew and RTD coffee are mainstays in our house but the fact that 75% of Starbucks US revenue comes from cold drinks is pretty wild to consider. Look forward to seeing how cold coffee moves into consumers' homes with products like The Cumulus Machine (from The Cumulus Coffee Company) #foodandbeverageindustry #foodandbeverage #coffee #coffeeindustry

A+ Coffee Roasters Commitment to Quality In the bustling world of coffee, the term 'specialty' has lost its original essence, often manipulated by marketing ploys to justify inflated prices for mediocre beans hastily picked off the roastery floor.

"As the industry has largely shifted its perception of blends away from being a more “traditional” option to providing a novel and exciting sensory experience, a growing number of specialty coffee roasters are adding them to their menus. And this presents a unique opportunity for them to market themselves – and drive brand identity in more effective ways." In this article, Tony Dreyfuss, co-founder and co-president of Metropolis Coffee Company, Olivia Morris, wholesale account and green sourcing manager at Little Bear Coffee, and Adam Cozens, managing director and co-founder of Perky Blenders Coffee Roasters share valuable insights into blends, intellectual property, and how these can make a mark on the coffee sector.

It was in 1974 that the legendary Erna Knutsen coined the term “specialty coffee” to describe more unique and higher-quality coffees grown in microclimates. And she changed the industry forever. Over the ensuing decades, we have come to define specialty coffee even more rigorously – largely using the Specialty Coffee Association’s 100-point quality scale. Our definitions, however, are not just technical. More holistic terms like “sustainable”, “traceable”, “transparent”, and “direct trade” are ubiquitous with specialty coffee, yet it’s challenging to pinpoint what these terms actually mean in the wider context of the supply chain. Additionally, it’s always important to remember how far the industry has come – as well as to question what the future holds – and ask if these terms are still as relevant and applicable today as they were several years ago. In today’s article, Bhavi Patel speaks to Tony Dreyfuss, co-founder and co-president of Metropolis Coffee Company, Rohan Kuriyan, a producer at Balanoor Plantations, and Wendelien van Bunnik- Verver, founder of the The Happy Coffee Network, to find out more. #PerfectDailyGrind #SpecialtyCoffee #SustainableCoffee
