Price Increase for JenEric Coffee

by

Dear Coffee Lovers,

In 2017, we started buying coffee from U-Roast-it. They are a fabulous company and they managed to only raise their prices around 30% in the past 8 years,. That’s amazing and has let us keep our prices steady. Coffee in general has doubled in price in the past 8 years.

I talked to the owner and they told me that they will be pulling out of selling bulk green beans. Its closest competitor is selling beans at nearly 50% more right now.

Other things have gone up. The price of tables has steadily climbed and now most of them are requiring insurance as well, which is an extra cost.

Basically, the past few years we’ve broken even on our big events after you count in all costs. Unfortunately, that’s not sustainable.

That’s why we’ll be increasing prices starting September 1st. The old prices are still in effect until then, so take advantage while you can.

The new prices will become:

Regular

  • Small (2oz) = $5
  • Medium (4oz) = $10
  • Large (8oz) = $18
  • Extra Large (1lbs) = $30

Decaf

  • Medium (4oz) = $12
  • Large (8oz) = $20
  • Extra Large (1lbs) = $34

Thank you for your understanding,

Éric

The State of JenEric Coffee September 2024

Hello Coffee Lovers,

According to my notes, coffee prices have almost doubled since we started roasting coffee. The beans, the flavouring, the labels, the bags, con tables, and especially shipping; have all gone up by as much if not more.

The last time we increased our prices was 2016, and I was starting to think we’d have to increase our prices again.

Good news is that I think I found a solution that will help. There’s a Canadian company that makes bags that are significantly cheaper than the American company we used in the past. This will also save us duty and brokerage fees.

I’m also looking into alternate sources for flavouring and labels.

All that said, we are working hard to keep our prices competitive.

Stay tuned and we’ll have some coffee news coming in October when we’ll be celebrating our 10 year anniversary.

Stay Caffeinated,

Éric
