2021… Another year to remember!

After the shock and unpredictability of 2020, 2021 saw our team ease into a new state of normalcy. This shift involved many, many emails, WhatsApp texts and Zoom calls as we adjusted to buying all our coffees without travel and servicing our customers from afar.

We answer your questions about rising coffee prices…

The price of green coffee has risen to historical highs over the last 12 months. Here, we share insights into how these price increases impact MCM’s buying practices and pricing, and what we are doing to help our customers navigate increasing costs.

The Borré Family

We have been featuring coffees produced by the Borré family since 2015, as we have been consistently impressed with their meticulous and progressive approach to the harvesting, processing and drying of their coffee crop.
