Santorini’s Vineyards: Climate Crisis and Tourism Threaten a Wine Legacy

This might just change your routine: Santorini’s vineyards, once a symbol of timeless winemaking, are now fighting for survival against climate change and tourism. For millennia, the island’s volcanic soils and salt-stained Assyrtiko grapes have defined Greece’s most iconic wine region. But today, historic vineyards are shrinking, yields are collapsing, and the future of Santorini’s wine identity hangs in the balance. The crisis is both ecological and economic. Over the past three vintages, Santorini has endured record droughts, with annual rainfall plummeting below 200mm. Heatwaves have accelerated budbreak, pushing harvests into late July—far earlier than traditional cycles. At Domaine Sigalas,…

Italy’s Coffee Culture Is Undergoing a Quiet Revolution

The espresso machine’s invention in the 1880s didn’t just change how Italians drink coffee—it cemented a cultural identity built on speed, affordability, and bitterness. For decades, Italy’s coffee scene has thrived on this model, with millions of espressos consumed daily in traditional cafés. Yet beneath this routine lies a seismic shift: specialty coffee is quietly rewriting the rules. As record arabica prices force Italians to rethink their coffee habits, a new generation of roasters and cafes is challenging the status quo. Italy’s coffee culture is rooted in a paradox. While it’s the second-largest European coffee consumer, its market has long…

Global Coffee Awards Crown Origin Roasters as Global Champions

The Global Coffee Awards just crowned the top roasters from coffee-producing countries, proving that excellence isn’t confined to major markets. Held in Houston, Texas, the Origin edition of the GCA blind-tasted hundreds of roasts across filter, espresso, and milk-based categories, offering actionable feedback to all participants. This isn’t just about bragging rights—it’s about reshaping how coffee is valued, from farm to cup. The GCA’s regional format is a game-changer. By spotlighting roasters in producing countries, it challenges the industry’s traditional focus on consuming nations. “We’re not just judging coffee—we’re validating the expertise of roasters who’ve long been overlooked,” says Henry…

Coffee Prices Set to Climb as 2025/26 Deficit Looms

Time to spill: Coffee prices are about to hit a new high. The USDA just warned of a global deficit in 2025/26, and Brazil’s coffee exports are already tanking. With tariffs chewing 50% off US shipments and port delays costing R$8.7m in October alone, the writing’s on the wall. This isn’t just another market hiccup—it’s a full-blown crisis for growers and roasters alike. The numbers don’t lie. Brazil, the world’s largest coffee producer, saw exports drop 21% in the first half of 2025. That’s not a typo—it’s a 21% plunge. Cecafé’s data shows the pain is real, and it’s not…

The Future of Coffee Roasting: Innovation Over Incremental Gains

Coffee roasting is undergoing a silent revolution—here’s how it’s redefining the craft. For decades, drum roasters have operated on 20th-century engineering principles, their designs unchanged despite rising climate risks, price volatility, and shifting consumer demands. Yet the industry is at a tipping point. As green coffee prices swing and sustainability becomes non-negotiable, roasters and manufacturers are confronting a stark reality: without reimagining roasting technology, the specialty coffee world risks stagnation. The shift began with third-wave coffee’s emphasis on precision. In the late ’90s, roasters demanded consistency, pushing manufacturers to adopt automation and advanced sensors. Today’s machines collect data, replicate roast…

Supermarket Coffee Is Evolving—But Can It Keep Up?

This is worth savoring: Supermarket coffee aisles are no longer just dark roasts and instant brews. In North America, Western Europe, and Australia, grocery stores are quietly reshaping their coffee sections, stocking specialty-grade whole beans, cold brew concentrates, and even matcha powders. Yet, for all the progress, the market remains a double-edged sword—offering growth but demanding precision. The shift began with a simple truth: consumers want more. Once dominated by low-quality, mass-produced blends, supermarkets now cater to a growing appetite for quality, sustainability, and diversity. Brands like Stumptown and Blue Bottle now share shelves with Whole Foods and New Seasons,…

The Coffee Exchange: A Providence Legacy Brewed for Decades

Listen up: In the heart of Providence, a single coffee shop has been perfecting its craft for nearly 40 years. Since 1984, Coffee Exchange has been a quiet revolution in Rhode Island’s coffee scene, turning a humble roastery into a cultural touchstone. While the city’s coffee culture has exploded—think specialty brews, cold brews, and single-origin obsessives—the shop that started with a focus on fresh, home-brewed beans still holds its own. Owner Charlie Fishbein, who’s been at the helm for decades, calls it a “family affair.” The story of Coffee Exchange isn’t just about coffee—it’s about resilience, community, and a stubborn…
