Low quality quantification of expresso

The size of the coffee market is beyond the expectation of many people. Coffee is the second most traded futures commodity in the world after oil. People familiar with the coffee market know that last year was the darkest year for coffee prices, falling to a 30-year low. Due to the oversupply, the New York Times also confirmed that last year "the whole industry is facing the biggest crisis in history."

The tragedy of coffee is closely related to expresso, which is popular all over the world and opens the coffee market.

Expresso is a kind of coffee taste made from coffee beans of different origin, variety and quality, which almost dominates the trend of coffee cultivation in recent years. Tea & Coffee Trade Journal, which has been published for more than a century, published an article in November last year, pointing out that in order to create a "mysterious mixed flavor", without highlighting the blending requirements of any kind of coffee bean flavor, ordinary people will add coffee beans of lower price and lower quality.

This industrial practice of mixing lower-priced coffee beans has spurred coffee growers to mass-produce lower-grade coffee beans (robusta) in Vietnam on the one hand and halved production in Colombia, which produces high-end Blue Mountain coffee. As a result, Vietnam overtook Colombia last year to become the world's second-largest producer of coffee beans, but the price of coffee beans has also become the biggest victim of the coffee taste revolution.

When talking about the price of coffee beans, it is necessary to explain the relationship between quality and quantity. Coffee chains do not care about the feelings of coffee growers, but manipulate the market trend of coffee beans. In the age of expresso, people saw profit, not tradition, taste and sense of history.

Strictly speaking, there is no absolute right or wrong, but there is no denying that when the market is monopolized or manipulated by those who pursue lower levels, sadness is certain.
