This cornerstone tracks store-bought coffee price movement across cities and formats. It is built to answer the broad coffee price trend question first, then route readers into the format pages that explain the move.

Grocery shelf prices

The Coffee Price Trends page covers retail coffee products, not cafe menu prices. The basket spans ground coffee, whole beans, pods, instant coffee, ready-to-drink coffee, iced coffee and cold brew, and creamer.

Formats move differently

Beans, pods, chilled drinks, and add-ins can create different city patterns. The component pages let readers see whether the headline coffee line is being driven by one shelf or by the whole coffee basket.

Best use

Use this page for the broad city comparison, then inspect the format pages when a household buys one type of coffee more often than the others.

How CostInflation tracks coffee price trends

CostInflation's Representative Price Index for coffee retail shelf composite is our daily estimate of the typical shelf price shoppers are seeing, based on observed retail listings that are cleaned up and made comparable before they are averaged into one public number. We reduce the influence of unusual one-off prices so the index reflects the middle of the market, then combine component prices using the index's standard package sizes and weights. Charts can also show lower band, medium band and upper band.
