The coffee world has been turned upside down since the Covid pandemic. Delayed shipments, high coffee prices, challenges for producers, traders, and roasteries. Added to this are frost and drought in Brazil — nothing is as it was just recently. This podcast is meant to be a compass for everyone in the coffee industry to navigate through the coming months.
In this episode: Andreas Pingo Felsen, Quijote Coffee Hamburg
In this special edition of our Kaffeemaker podcast, I speak with people who analyze the current situation, clarify questions, and raise important new ones. Everyone who works with coffee in any form is already feeling the changes now, or will feel them within a few short weeks.
Every Sunday evening we release a new episode of Coffea Economica. In this episode, I speak with Andreas Pingo Felsen from Quijote Coffee.
Andreas Pingo Felsen, Quijote Coffee
Pingo and Philipp Schallberger discuss what a fair roasted coffee price actually is. As the creator of the German Roastery Map, Pingo has an in-depth insight into where the industry is heading. He also explains simply how Quijote is able to pre-finance all of their green coffees.
- "Buyers are everywhere locally purchasing coffee, which creates a competitive situation between the cooperatives."
- "Pre-financing coffee is easy when money is this cheap."
- "Most roasteries are undercapitalized."
- "We don't want to socially select our customers through a high retail price."
