India’s Coffee Output Holds Steady Amid Brazil’s Rising Threat

Time to spill: India’s coffee production is holding near 6 million bags for the 2025/26 season, but the battle for global market share is intensifying. Excessive monsoons battered yields, yet USDA data shows output barely dipping below last year’s levels. The real story? Brazil’s aggressive push into European markets is reshaping the competition, and India’s farmers are feeling the pressure. The USDA report paints a mixed picture. Arabica yields fell 3%, robusta 2%, as monsoon rains flooded southern India—especially Karnataka, the heart of the country’s coffee belt. While soggy soil boosted short-term growth, fungal diseases and fruit splitting are now…

Yet, the confusion around what truly qualifies as gluten-free has turned coffee into a battleground of misinformation. Here’s what you need to know to navigate it with clarity.

Space-Saving Secrets for Urban Coffee Roasters

Real talk: Cities are coffee capitals, and the competition is fierce. As specialty coffee demand surges in urban hubs, roasters are forced to rethink their strategies. High foot traffic, prime visibility, and proximity to customers make city centres lucrative—but they also demand ingenuity. With rental costs soaring and space shrinking, the future of coffee roasting lies in compact, smartly designed operations. The key? Turning constraints into advantages. Smaller roasteries aren’t just a trend—they’re a necessity. Cities like Shanghai, Tokyo, and London boast thousands of coffee shops, creating a saturated market where differentiation is critical. For roasters like Lucas Hubinon and…

Gen Z is rewriting coffee culture—here’s how brands can keep both generations happy

Time to spill: Gen Z isn’t just changing how we sip coffee—they’re redefining what coffee is. With $360 billion in disposable income, this generation is driving demand for functional ingredients, convenience, and hyper-customization. Yet, their love for sweetened lattes and matcha-infused drinks clashes with the purist ethos of specialty coffee. Brands risk alienating loyal customers who still crave simple black brews. The question isn’t whether to adapt—it’s how to balance innovation with tradition without losing the soul of the craft. Gen Z’s shift toward “treat-like” coffee is reshaping the industry. A National Coffee Association report reveals 65% of Gen Z…

Brazil’s Coffee Balance: Robusta Stepping Up as Arabica Slips

Brazil’s coffee landscape is shifting—and the numbers tell a story of resilience and adaptation. The 2025/26 harvest is projected at 63 million bags, a 3% drop from the previous season, driven by harsh weather crippling Arabica yields. States like Minas Gerais and São Paulo, key Arabica hubs, faced below-average rainfall and heatwaves that stunted growth. Meanwhile, Robusta is breaking records, hitting 25 million bags—a 19% surge from 2024/25. Favorable conditions in Espírito Santo and Bahia, paired with years of farmer investment, are fueling this shift. The export picture is equally turbulent. U.S. tariffs, peaking at 50% in August, slashed shipments…
