Is 1€ coffee ( in a commercial setting) possible allowing for an ethically acceptable supply chain?
Feels as though a lot of the 'speciality coffee phenomenon' focuses on ensuring growers are compensated fairly etc. I'm sure I read a really cogent post from someone on it upthread but I'm fucked if I can find it now.
I think that's a very third wave problem, these places are old fashioned businesses, the bottom line is everything so they're gonna buy the cheapest beans they can get away with...
Rent is a very third wave problem too, at least in London, LA, NY etc...commercial rates in Italy outside the tourist centres are laughably low, relatively speaking. The amount my mate pays to his landlords to keep the doors open here is astonishing.
