The current crisis of the commodity coffee price on the futures market is perhaps the most immediate issue facing coffee as we know it (climate change may be a larger concern, but if the price isn\u2019t rectified, there may be no farmers\u2014and thus no coffee trees\u2014to be deleted by climate change). We\u2019ve made our feelings known about the current problem in no uncertain terms, and leading voices in the industry are doing their part to dive into the crisis in hopes of bringing it to the forefront of the collective coffee conscious.<\/p>\n
Two such individuals are Ever Meister and Chad Trewick. Through the lens of price transparency, Meister\u2014managing editor and education director at Cafe Imports<\/a> and author of New York City: A Caffeinated History<\/a><\/em>\u2014teams up with Trewick\u2014founder of Reciprocaf\u00e9, LLC and one of the project leads for the Specialty Coffee Transaction Guide<\/a>\u2014for a four-part podcast series titled \u201cA Little Podcast About Coffee Price Transparency<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Totally just over a two-hour runtime, the four-part series was released all at once last week as part of The Discomfort Zone Podcast<\/a>, Meister\u2019s \u201cinterview-based show about a whole range of topics, beliefs, issues, anxieties, and quirks that make us uncomfortable, in the hopes that we can see each other and make real connections through open dialog.\u201d Each episode tackles a different subject related to transparency and the price crisis. Episode One<\/a> discusses the “functions of the coffee market and the C-market price, the foundations for the price crisis, and introduces the rest of a conversation about price transparency in specialty coffee and its implications in the greater movement toward long-term coffee sustainability.\u201d Episode Two<\/a> dives into ways to get farmers more money for their work, with Episode Three<\/a> digging deeper into transparency and its potential impact on pricing. The series then caps off with Episode Four<\/a>, about the consumer and their role.<\/p>\n All four episodes of A Little Podcast About Coffee Price Transparency are out now on SoundCloud<\/a>.
