Coffee prices move when supply risk increases (bad weather, shipping disruptions), when costs rise (fuel, labor, fertilizer), or when money flows shift (currencies, futures traders). Often, multiple factors hit at once.

Coffee roasting is the moment green beans transform into the aromatic, flavorful coffee we love. By carefully controlling heat, airflow, and time, roasters shape everything from bright fruity notes to deep chocolate richness. In this guide, you’ll learn the key roast phases, roast levels, and techniques that turn raw potential into a perfect cup.

Cold brew coffee may feel modern, but its roots go back to 17th-century Kyoto, where slow-drip “Dutch coffee” used cold water over many hours for a smooth, low-acid cup. Variations of chilled coffee appeared globally, but cold brew truly took off in the U.S. in the early 2000s, helped by brands like Stumptown and later innovations like nitro. Today it’s everywhere—from glass-tower slow drip to ready-to-drink bottles—still defined by patience and clarity.

In 2026, coffee lovers aren’t just asking “Where is this from?” — they’re asking why it tastes this way. Terroir bars are redefining the café experience by turning origin into the main event, complete with farm details, processing stories, and guided tastings. Think of it as a cross between a coffee bar, a wine flight, and a storytelling studio. Here’s why these spaces are booming — and why they make every cup feel personal.
