Price adjustment from January 13, 2025

Preisanpassung ab dem 13. Januar 2025

Dear coffee lovers,

we hope you had a good start to the new year and wish you a happy, healthy and successful 2025!

We would like to inform you about an important decision that we have not taken lightly. Despite intensive efforts to keep our costs as low as possible, we have experienced significant increases in our production costs in recent months. Here we would like to explain the reasons why we are forced to adjust our prices.

Reasons for the price adjustment

Increased green coffee prices:

The prices for Arabica and Robusta coffee have doubled since October 2023, which has massively increased our purchasing costs. As you can read in Handelsblatt, this is a global trend affecting the entire industry.

Higher logistics costs:

Transport costs for overseas freight have increased significantly due to global supply bottlenecks and ongoing uncertainties, such as attacks on cargo ships in the Red Sea.

Energy and operating costs:

Persistently high gas and energy prices as well as general inflation affect almost all areas – from warehousing to packaging materials and operating costs.

General price increases:

According to an analysis by Wallstreet-Online, consumers must expect price increases of up to 30%.

Our response

From rising raw material costs to higher operating expenses – the economic conditions make an adjustment of our price structure unavoidable.

We have explored all options to keep the impact on you as small as possible. The adjustment is necessary to continue offering the usual quality and service. It enables us to invest in modern technologies and sustainable processes and to continuously improve our offerings.

Price adjustment from January 13, 2025

As of January 13, 2025, we will adjust our prices according to the new circumstances. A central reason for this is the increase in green coffee prices – especially Arabica beans, whose prices have reached a 27-year high.

Our focus remains unchanged

Despite these challenges, our focus remains:

  • Fair prices for our coffee farmers.
  • Promotion of sustainable projects.
  • Transparency throughout the supply chain.

We source many of our coffees directly from farmers with whom we work closely. These partnerships enable us to import selected coffees with full transparency, support the people behind the beans, and value their work.

Your understanding and loyalty

We know that price adjustments are always a challenge and would like to thank you for your understanding. We assure you that we will do everything possible to keep prices as moderate as possible without compromising on quality.

Thank you very much for your loyalty – your support enables us to remain your first choice for high-quality coffee enjoyment in the future.

With warm regards and best wishes for 2025,
Your Team at Erste Tegernseer Kaffeerösterei
