JANUARY 2025

Since we opened House Cup in 2017, our focus has always been on locally roasting high-quality coffee at an affordable price. We've worked hard to connect with our community by donating coffee to local food banks, firehouses, and schools. We also take pride in paying our staff a fair wage. Thanks to your continued support, this model has allowed us to stay true to our values.

However, like so many other businesses, the cost of producing quality coffee has risen significantly in recent months. Coffee commodity prices have reached a 47-year high, with an astonishing 30% increase in just one month at the end of 2024. Unfortunately, we can no longer absorb these rising costs of purchasing high-quality green coffee beans while maintaining our commitment to sustainability.

We explored several options to navigate this challenge — such as purchasing lower-quality beans, shrinking our product sizes, cutting back on donations to local organizations, or reducing our staff wages. But none of these solutions align with the values that House Cup was built on.

While we hate to do this, to continue operating a viable business, we must raise our prices to reflect the increased costs we’re now facing.

Starting January 15th, the price of our one-pound retail bags of coffee will be $18, which is still much lower than other specialty coffee roasters in the area. We’ll also continue offering a subscription service that saves you 10% when you sign up for automatic deliveries. As a thank-you to our current subscribers, we’ll keep your current price and discount in place until March 30th. Additionally, you’ll notice some price adjustments at our House Cup Café as we, too, are impacted by rising food and alternative milk costs.

We deeply appreciate your understanding and continued support. We’re grateful to be part of your coffee moments and look forward to hearing more about the special moments you enjoy with your locally roasted House Cup Coffee.
