The coffee world has been turned upside down since the Covid pandemic. Delivery delays, high coffee prices, challenges for producers, traders, and roasters. On top of that, frost and drought in Brazil – nothing is as it was just recently. This podcast is intended to be a compass for everyone in the coffee industry to navigate through the coming months.
In this episode: Andreas Pingo Felsen, Quijote Kaffee Hamburg
In this special edition of our Kaffeemacher podcast, I talk to people who analyze the current situation, clarify questions, and raise important new questions. Everyone who works with coffee in any form is already feeling the changes, or will be in just a few weeks at the latest.
Every Sunday evening we release a new episode of Coffea Economica. In this episode, I talk to Andreas Pingo Felsen from Quijote Kaffee.
Andreas Pingo Felsen, Quijote Kaffee
Pingo and Philipp Schallberger discuss what a fair roasted coffee price actually is. As the creator of the German Roastery Map, Pingo has a deep insight into where the industry is heading. He also simply explains how Quijote can pre-finance all its green coffees.
- "Buyers are everywhere on-site, buying up coffee, which creates a competitive situation between the cooperatives."
- "Pre-financing coffee is easy when money is so cheap."
- "Most roasteries are underfunded."
- "We do not want to socially select our customers through a high sales price."
