Ever had a bitter and burnt brew?

Just like grains, gas and oil, you can buy large quantities of coffee on the commodity market. Most buyers pay a flat price per pound, with little consideration given to the coffee’s quality or to farming skills built up over decades and generations.

Market investors then rake it in while farmers often lose money on a year’s crop and struggle to make ends meet. And that burnt-tasting coffee? That’s usually those bulk-bought beans, over-roasted to disguise their lack of quality.
