The coffee world has been turned upside down since the Covid pandemic. Delayed shipments, high coffee prices, and challenges for producers, traders, and roasters. Added to this were frost and drought in Brazil; nothing is as it was recently. This podcast is intended to be a compass for everyone in the coffee industry to navigate through the coming months.
In this episode: Andreas Pingo Felsen, Quijote Kaffee Hamburg
In this special edition of our Kaffeemacher podcast, I speak with people who are analyzing the current situation, answering questions, and asking important new ones. Everyone who works with coffee in any way can already feel the changes, or will in just a few weeks at the latest.
Every Sunday evening, we release a new episode of Coffea Economica. In this episode, I speak with Andreas Pingo Felsen from Quijote Kaffee.
Andreas Pingo Felsen, Quijote Kaffee
Pingo and Philipp Schallberger discuss what a fair roasted coffee price actually is. As the creator of the German Roastery Map, Pingo has deep insight into where the industry is heading. He also explains simply how Quijote is able to pre-finance all their green coffee.
- "Buyers are everywhere on the ground buying up coffee, which creates a competitive situation between the cooperatives."
- "Pre-financing coffee is easy when money is that cheap."
- "Most roasteries are underfinanced."
- "We do not want to socially filter our clientele through a high retail price."
