5 reasons why the price of coffee will rise in 2025
Coffee is an indispensable part of everyday working life in many companies. Whether in the office, on the shop floor or at events - a good cup of coffee ensures motivation, productivity and satisfied guests or employees. But in the year two thousand and twenty-five, the price of coffee has continued to rise. Many people are asking themselves: Why is that? And how can you still offer high-quality coffee cost-effectively?
Here are the five most important reasons for the price increases - and a solution for how companies can continue to offer coffee economically and worry-free.
1. climate change and crop failures lead to higher costs
Coffee plants are sensitive to climate change. In recent years, droughts, heavy rainfall and frost have severely affected harvests in the main coffee-growing regions such as Brazil, Colombia and Vietnam. Lower yields mean fewer beans available on the world market and therefore higher prices.
For companies in Switzerland, this can lead to coffee beans and finished products becoming significantly more expensive - a problem if you want to continue to offer your employees or customers high-quality coffee.
2. higher transport and energy costs make coffee more expensive
Coffee does not grow in Switzerland, but has to be imported. Rising fuel prices, higher storage costs and persistent global supply bottlenecks have caused the transport costs for coffee to rise massively in recent years. Energy prices for roasting and processing coffee are also continuing to rise.
For companies, this not only means higher costs for green coffee, but also rising operating costs for machines and accessories.
3. fair payment of coffee farmers increases the price, but is indispensable
The working conditions on coffee plantations are increasingly coming into focus. More and more producers are campaigning for better wages and fair trade. This development is necessary and right - but it is also associated with higher production costs.
In Switzerland, this means that although sustainable and fair-trade coffees are the best ethical choice, they also come with higher prices. Companies that prioritise quality and sustainability must therefore expect rising costs.
4. exchange rate fluctuations and market developments influence the price
Coffee is traded on stock exchanges worldwide. Exchange rate fluctuations, inflation and geopolitical uncertainties have a significant impact on prices. The exchange rate between the Swiss franc and the US dollar plays a particularly important role, as coffee is usually traded in dollars.
For companies that offer coffee, these unpredictable market changes can lead to rising purchasing costs.
5 Growing demand for speciality coffee raises prices
While cheap mass-produced goods were often in demand in the past, more and more companies are opting for high-quality coffee varieties. Speciality coffee, sustainable cultivation and gentle roasting processes are gaining in popularity, but are also associated with higher production costs.
Growing quality awareness means that first-class coffee is increasingly in demand - and therefore also more expensive.
Rising prices? Keep full cost control with a coffee machine rental
In view of these price increases, many companies are asking themselves how they can continue to calculate economically and still offer their employees or guests high-quality coffee.
The solution is coffee machine hire with transparent per-cup billing.
Advantages of coffee machine hire
- No purchase costs for the JURA coffee machine
- Payment only according to consumption - no expensive stock purchases
- Maintenance, service and cleaning agents included
- Regular monitoring and adjustment of consumption
- Cost security despite rising market prices
While companies that buy their own machines have to bear higher maintenance and repair costs in addition to rising bean prices, renting a coffee machine remains a stable and calculable solution in terms of price.
What does this mean in concrete terms for companies in Switzerland?
Rising coffee prices are making it increasingly important to consciously manage costs. Companies that want to continue to focus on high-quality coffee should therefore opt for a model with full cost control.
Hiring a coffee machine not only offers economic benefits, but also ensures worry-free use. Companies receive a professional coffee machine without having to make large investments and only pay for the coffee they actually consume.
