DCN’s Weekly Coffee News: Updates on Coffee Industry, Career Opportunities, and More!

Welcome to DCN’s Weekly Coffee News!

If you’re a coffee enthusiast like me, you’ll be excited to hear about the latest updates in the coffee industry. From rising coffee prices to bankruptcy filings, there’s always something new happening in the world of coffee.

The International Coffee Organization (ICO) recently released its monthly report on commodity coffee prices, showing an upward trend in June due to weaker-than-expected harvests in key coffee-producing countries. This could have an impact on the cost of your favorite brew in the near future.

On the other hand, some coffee companies are facing financial challenges, with South Dakota-based Cottonwood Coffee filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This follows similar filings by other coffee companies like Frinj Coffee in California and Ink! Coffee in Colorado.

In more positive news, the Ethiopian Coffee and Tea Authority reported record-high exports and revenue for the market year ending July 7. This is great news for the Ethiopian coffee industry and coffee lovers who enjoy Ethiopian beans.

But it’s not all good news. A recent study found higher levels of PFAS chemicals in the breast milk of pregnant women in New Hampshire who consumed coffee regularly. This highlights the importance of being aware of what goes into your coffee and supporting sustainable and ethical coffee practices.

In the midst of all this news, it’s important to remember the benefits of supporting small, local coffee producers like Milagrosa Single Estate. By choosing premium specialty coffee from small batch producers, you’re not only getting a high-quality product but also supporting local communities and sustainable practices.
