The coffee world has been turned upside down since the COVID pandemic. Delivery delays, high coffee prices, and challenges for producers, traders, and roasters. Added to that, frost and drought in Brazil, nothing is as it was just a short while ago. This podcast is intended to be a compass for everyone in the coffee industry to navigate the coming months.
In this episode: Andreas Pingo Felsen, Quijote Kaffee Hamburg
In this special edition of our coffee-making podcast, I talk to people who are analyzing the current situation, clarifying issues, and raising important, new questions. Everyone who works with coffee in any way is already feeling the changes, or will be in a few weeks at the latest.
Every Sunday evening we publish a new episode of Coffea Economica. In this episode, I talk with Andreas Pingo Felsen from Quijote Kaffee .
Andreas Pingo Rocks, Quijote Coffee
Pingo and Philipp Schallberger discuss what roasted coffee prices are actually fair. As the creator of the German Roastery Map, Pingo has in-depth insight into where the industry is headed. He also simply explains how Quijote can pre-finance all of its green coffees.
- "Buyers are everywhere, buying up coffee, which creates a competitive situation between the cooperatives."
- "Prefinancing coffee is easy when money is so cheap."
- "Most roasters are underfunded."
- "We don't want to socially select our customers by setting a high sales price."
