The $6.70 coffee problem

The customer is near their limit. Your costs are not.

Menu prices are meeting resistance while supplier costs keep moving. The next increase either comes from the customer or from your margin.

Expected by the end of 2026 $6.70 What Australians expect coffee to cost
Average customer ceiling $6.60 The maximum Australians say they will pay
The pressure point Your menu is reaching its ceiling. Supplier costs are still moving.

One house-blend increase

A $2/kg bean rise looks small. Across a year, it is not.

Before putting another 20 cents on the menu, see which supplier prices moved and what you can recover first.

House blend price movement $28 → $30/kg
Weekly bean usage 25kg
Annual margin at risk $2,600
Illustrative mid-volume scenario: $2/kg × 25kg/week × 52 weeks. Actual usage varies by venue.
