Price history
Filled markers are recorded price or stock changes per capsule; hollow markers are additional archived sightings that confirmed the same local price. A line spans only dates on which the listing kept being seen, gaps mean continuity is not established, and dashed stretches are periods observed out of stock.
Converted to $ at the reference rate of each observation's own date, so every market is what it would have cost you on the day it was read.
Hover a line or a market name to read it; press one to keep it lit, and press again to release. Several can be held at once.
The chart draws 8 of the 12 markets we hold history for — the ones with the most recorded changes, plus your selected country. Every market is in the table below.

Flavour notes
About this coffee
Origin
Only two islands in the Galápagos produce coffee and in small quantities. A real jewel, a surprise from nature with sweet notes of cereal and biscuits that will surely surprise you.
Roasting
The beans of this single-origin coffee are divided into two portions that pass through different roasts: one part is roasted in the middle with a higher temperature to provide a balanced profile, while the other goes through a shorter roasting process to preserve the delicacy of this coffee
