World-wide coffee prices have experienced alarming increases since July 2010. Arabica coffee prices have skyrocketed, because adverse weather in producing countries has curbed supplies, and as demand continues to increase in countries like China and the U.K. Speculators also contribute to the crisis.

It gets worse. Specialty coffee (top 3% of all coffee) has risen far more, than basic commodity prices, because of what is called "differentials" above the market price. On some coffees such as organics, the price increases have surpassed 150%. Kenya coffees have tripled in price!

Keep in mind too, as roasters, we also lose 22% - 25% of the weight from drying when coffee is roasted. Hence, a roasters actual cost of green specialty grade coffee, is far above the prices you see in these indexes and graphs.

Factor in skyrocketing fuel costs and you start to get the picture.
