What do you actually pay for green coffee?

An independent benchmark for what roasters pay. Roughly 3–5 minutes per coffee. Your supplier and company name are not required, and individual transactions are never published.

Section 1 of 6 — About your roastery

Section 1 — About your roastery

Q1. Where is your roasting business located?

Q2. What is your local currency?

Q3. Approximately how much green coffee does your company purchase annually?

Q4. How do you primarily purchase green coffee?

I understand my responses will be combined with other independent roasters, that individual companies, suppliers and transactions will not be identified, and that I have read the privacy notice.

Section 2 — The coffee

Q5. Which coffee is this?

The benchmark covers a fixed set of named coffees so that prices stay comparable. Choosing one sets its origin and grade automatically.

Q6. Coffee type

Q7. Processing method

Q8. Approximate quality / cupping score (optional)

Section 3 — The purchase

Q9. When did you purchase or contract this coffee?

Use the date the price was agreed or contracted — not the date the coffee arrived at the roastery. The USD exchange rate and the implied C-market differential are calculated as of this date. If the price was fixed over several transactions, use the date the applicable price was established.

Q10. How was the coffee priced?

Q12. What was the purchase price?

Q13. Currency the price was quoted in

Q14. Unit used for the quoted price

USD equivalent

Section 4 — Pricing basis

To compare prices at all, they must be quoted on the same basis. The benchmark records exactly one.

Enter the price ex-seller's-warehouse (origin) — the point from which you arrange, and pay for, shipping to your roastery. Do not fold in ocean freight, import duty or tariffs, warehousing, or inland transport: those vary by route, forwarder and time, and would muddy the price until it stopped being comparable.

Q15. Confirm the pricing basis I confirm this price is quoted from the seller's warehouse at origin, from where I arrange and pay for shipping to my roastery.

Section 5 — Purchase quantity

Q16. Approximately how much coffee was covered by this price?

Q17. Was this price for:

Section 6 — Optional commercial information (these deepen the benchmarks)

Q18. Was the coffee purchased directly from the producer?

Q19. Was the price negotiated?

Q20. Approximately how long was the contract?

Q21. Did you hedge the C market or currency separately?

Anything else we should know? (optional)
