The SCA’s #cupping form is a cornerstone of the #specialtycoffee industry. Largely unchanged for 20 years, it has now evolved into the new Coffee Value Assessment form – released in 2023.

Australian appliance giant Breville Group, known as Sage in Europe, has recently reported a record performance, achieving $1.53 billion in revenues this year, marking a 3.5% growth. Over the last 4 years, at-home #coffeeconsumption has held steady, while out-of-home has fallen 11% as customer trust wanes. Breville’s series of acquisitions points to a consolidation of the #coffeemachine market. Sarah Charles speaks with Spencer Turer (Coffee Enterprises) and Luis Fernando Velez (Amor Perfecto Cafe) about why Breville is so popular with prosumers. https://lnkd.in/evW8YFY6

For decades, the dominant #strategy to improve #incomes in coffee-producing countries has been to increase #yield per hectare. Brazil and Vietnam's yields have risen by 40% and 18% respectively in the last decade. Sarah Charles speaks with Beto Bina (FarFarm) and David Batres (Finca Batres) about how despite production scaling, profitability remains low for most coffee farmers, and financial conditions are making it worse. https://lnkd.in/ewfGu7cw

Gift cards have long been a staple of modern #consumerculture, marketed as a convenient and thoughtful solution to the age-old problem of gifting. Starbucks reported $1.77 billion in unredeemed #giftcard balances – a 9% increase since last year. This is called “breakage revenue” – essentially free money. Customer loyalty, tapping into new networks and consumer data collection are other benefits. Sarah Charles speaks with Spencer M. Ross (University of Massachusetts Lowell) about why consumers keep coming back to gift cards, despite the downsides, and what’s in it for retail brands. https://lnkd.in/diC_M7tH
