We answer your questions about rising coffee prices… again!

The price of green coffee has risen to historical highs in recent months. Here, we share insights into why prices have surged, how these increases impact MCM’s buying practices and pricing, and what we are doing to help our customers navigate increasing costs.

Updates From The Road: Rwanda 2024

Spending time with our friends at Buf Coffee and the Dukunde Kawa and Maraba cooperatives is something we look forward to during every annual Rwandan sourcing trip. Here, we share insights and updates from the trip, including an overview of the 2024 season and what to expect for our incoming line up!

Unpacking Agricafe’s Processing Practices

Bolivia is one of our favourite countries to source coffee from, and one we have proudly represented since the early days of MCM. For over a decade, we’ve worked closely with the Rodríguez family of Agricafe Bolivia to create and build a market for Bolivian coffees in Australia, and every time we visit them we are inspired by their forward-thinking practices.

Thank You for Supporting Strong Women!

We did it — We collectively raised over $34,000 AUD for the construction of a childcare centre in Rwanda’s Northern Province!
