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.

About this coffee
Origin
A blend composed mostly of Ethiopian Arabica beans—a coffee as old as time - and Indian Robustas. These coffees come together to bring a wonderfully complex profile of both bitterness and acidity, wild fruitiness and roasted notes.
Roasting
This is a classic split-roast with high intensity and an average roasting time. The batches are separated in Arabicas and Robustas for a more precise roast.
