This is your Daily Coffee Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

Hello and welcome to Daily Coffee Price Tracker. I'm Vanessa Clark, bringing you the freshest updates on what's happening in the global coffee market, the trends shaping your morning cup, and practical insights to help you stay ahead. If you love coffee or want to understand what drives the price of your favorite brew, this is the podcast for you.

Let’s jump right into today’s coffee price update. As of October twenty-seventh, twenty twenty-five, the benchmark coffee price sits at three hundred eighty-nine dollars and three cents per pound, down just over three percent from yesterday. But here’s the big picture: coffee prices are still up fifty-four percent compared to the same time last year, continuing their unusually strong run. It’s a sign of how much volatility remains in global coffee markets, fueled by complex forces that go far beyond what any of us see in our local cafes.

Now, what’s driving these high prices? According to AgroReview, global coffee prices have reached levels not seen in fifty years. The main factors are adverse weather conditions in major producing countries. Brazil and Vietnam, which together account for a huge share of worldwide coffee output, have been hit by both droughts and unexpected frosts. That’s led to smaller harvests, putting a squeeze on available beans and sending prices higher in grocery stores and coffee shops.

Just last month, Brazil’s crop forecasting agency, Conab, lowered its estimate for the twenty twenty-five arabica crop by nearly five percent, while Vietnam’s production is expected to climb almost seven percent, reaching a four-year high. This increase in robusta supply from Vietnam might ease some price pressure, especially for supermarket blends and instant coffees. But for high-quality arabicas, the squeeze could continue through the end of the year.

If you’re watching futures contracts, December arabica closed today down by over twelve points, or about three percent, while robusta did nearly the same. The main reason behind this sell-off is speculation around a possible thaw in US-Brazil trade, which could open the door for more Brazilian coffee imports and help stabilize supplies.

For everyday coffee drinkers and business owners, these price swings can impact everything from the cost of beans to café menus and what we pay per cup. Experts are advising consumers to brace for further increases, look for alternative brands, or try more economical brewing methods at home. If you’re a café owner, keeping an eye on production forecasts and locking in contracts early can help manage risk and keep prices under control.

On a broader note, the entire coffee market is evolving. Demand continues to climb in Asia and North America. We’re seeing a surge in coffee concentrates and ready-to-drink brews, driven by convenience and the desire for specialty flavors. Sustainability and traceability are also getting more important; more consumers want to know that their coffee is ethically produced and environmentally friendly.

To wrap up, here are today’s actionable takeaways. If you buy coffee for your home or business, keep track of price changes—they’re moving fast and reflect real weather and supply risks. Consider diversifying the coffee you purchase, whether by blend or origin, to protect against sharp increases. Brewing at home can save money, while sustainability-certified coffees can ensure your dollar supports ethical production.

That’s it for today’s Daily Coffee Price Tracker. Thanks so much for tuning in. Don’t forget to subscribe and join me tomorrow for another fresh look at the world’s favorite caffeinated commodity. Have a great day and enjoy your next cup!
