Coffee: a barometer for global volatility?

In our debut episode of Beyond the Cup - Coffee: a barometer for global volatility? - we sit down with our sourcing supremo, Christopher Beath, to pull back the curtain on the complex world of coffee. We dive deep into the origin story to discover where your beans actually come from, before tackling the intricacies of market volatility and why the coffee sector often reacts to global news before it even breaks. Finally, we explore the theme of resilience, examining how JDE Peet’s navigates large-scale global shocks to ensure we can continue pouring 4,400 cups of coffee every single second.
