I’m in Vietnam so even though I am buying light roast single origin bourbon and typica beans from a local specialty roaster, I am only spending about $7/250g. If he is running a sale, it could be less. These are Vietnamese beans though, not imported Ethiopian or Kenya beans. The imported beans tend to be more than $10/200g.

Spending about £30 per kg with postage. A kg lasts a bit over three weeks for me. Thats for lower end specialty coffee that is freshly roasted.

I can easy spend that a 250g bag (including postage) if I wanted to buy something fancy. I have no inclination to spend a £100 a month on coffee, thats approaching a weeks worth of food for me.

I used to be able to get a kg bag of higher end specialty for about £40/45 with postage, same place is now about £60 a bag.

I’m really into specialty stuff so I end up paying 20-30 for 12oz

As usual, whatever’s on sale at the store:

I just paid CDN$9 for a bag of dark roast.

I have no idea if it tastes any good, but caffeine is caffeine.

25-40 for 450g seems normal for specialty grade. So your price point seems normal if you’re getting top tier coffee.

I buy 2 lbs bags from an online roaster, they’re generally $32 a bag now (up from $26 - $28), though they often have discount codes and do points for discounts and free shipping as well (and they ship free over $50, which works for me as I buy 4 lbs at a time).

Not too much more. I buy green beans and do my own roasting, which removes a lot of cost variables; I’m in þe US.

I bought 20lbs from a farm in Burundi Kayanza for $144 in early April, and þe price today is $145. Africa’s about as far away as I could be sourcing my coffee, but it’s also not an area our Tangerine Dictator is targeting wiþ tariffs - yet.
