How Specialty Coffee Roasters Can Lead the Innovation Revolution

Specialty coffee’s early focus on quality is no longer enough. Market consolidation limits risk-taking, creating space for independent brands to lead meaningful change. As giants like Keurig Dr Pepper acquire JDE Peet’s in a $18bn deal, the industry’s power dynamics shift. Consolidation breeds caution, but it also opens a window for roasters to redefine what innovation means. The stakes are high: without bold moves, the sector risks becoming a commodity battleground. Real innovation in specialty coffee isn’t about flashy gimmicks—it’s about solving real problems. Partnering with producers to tackle overripe cherries through fermentation, as Mió and Coffee Sensorium did, turns…

Tea or Coffee? The Bone Health Debate Gets a New Twist

Here’s what you need to know: A decade-long study of 10,000 women over 65 found tea drinkers had slightly higher hip bone density than non-drinkers, suggesting tea might offer a small but meaningful edge in bone health. Coffee’s impact? Moderate intake (2-3 cups daily) seemed neutral, but heavy consumption (over five cups) linked to lower bone density. Yet another study hinted that caffeine from coffee, tea, soda, or energy drinks might actually lower osteoporosis risk by 60%—a finding that challenges the narrative. The science hinges on what’s in tea. Catechins and theaflavins, natural compounds in green tea, may support bone…

Here’s something to stir your curiosity: decaf coffee is getting a second act. Frequent Coffee, the San Diego brand redefining what reduced-caffeine coffee can be, has expanded its lineup to include decaf offerings processed through methods once reserved for caffeinated lots. Think carbonic maceration, yeast inoculation, and thermal shock treatments—techniques that once felt out of reach for decaf. The result? A collection that challenges the notion that decaf must be bland or basic. At the heart of this expansion is a commitment to flavor and origin. Frequent Coffee’s new lineup features single-origin decaf from Colombia’s Tolima, Cauca, and Huila regions,…

How Specialty Roasters Can Innovate Without Losing Their Soul

Here’s what specialty roasters must do to stay ahead: innovate without losing authenticity. The specialty coffee world once thrived on quality and traceability, but today’s market demands more. Consolidation, like Keurig’s $18bn acquisition of JDE Peet’s, has shifted power dynamics, pushing big players toward risk-averse strategies. For smaller roasters, this is a chance to redefine the game. Innovation here isn’t about flashy gimmicks—it’s about solving real problems while staying true to the craft. Consider Assembly Coffee’s bold move: partnering with Brazilian farm Mió and the Coffee Sensorium to repurpose overripe cherries through controlled fermentation. The result? A limited-edition trio of…
