Source – Audience Q&A from 2025 SCA Expo

This week on the podcast is part 2 of the event we hosted with Cafe Imports at the 2025 Specialty Coffee Association Expo. In this episode the audience asks the panelist questions that most impact their day to day interaction with the coffee supply chain. Covering topics like communicating the cost of coffee to guest, how roasters come to the prices they set, and how roasters can work together to ensure producers have a place to tell the amazing coffees that they grow. There is a lot to digest no matter what part of the coffee world yo come from. Again, huge thanks to all the panelists who joined us and shared their expertise—and a special shoutout to Cafe Imports for organizing the event and inviting us to be a part of it.
