Bean here before

Last month we mentioned that the wholesale price of coffee was reported to be going up because of crop shortages caused by heavy rain in South America. We've recently bought a batch of coffee beans... and it looks as though bean prices are definitely starting to rise. We don't want to increase our coffee prices (and we know you'd agree!) but we don't want to compromise on our coffee quality or cup size either.

At the moment we use Lavazza coffee; it's a company that has been blending coffee since the early 1900s and, just as importantly, is committed to sustainable development in the places it sources, roasts and blends its coffee.

We also only offer a single size of coffee cup. We're not fans of calling medium-sized cups "small" and then selling you a "regular size" bucket of coffee that's big enough to bathe in.

As we said earlier, we don't want to increase our prices - and we'll do our best to keep them as low as possible - but we might need to make some changes in the future. It all depends what happens when we buy our next batch of beans. Thank you for your support; we'll let you know what's going on with coffee prices as soon as we find out!
