The State of Specialty Coffee 2026

A point-in-time census of the online specialty-coffee shelf: what a bag really costs, the Geisha price gap, process-price differences, and how roasters describe flavor in 2026. Every figure derives from the Cherrybook catalog, with the methodology and its limits stated in full.

Cherrybook Weekly

One coffee worth a closer look, with the numbers behind the pick. Sundays only.

How the book works

Find

Every in-stock lot from the roasters we track, refreshed daily. Search in your own words, or set a taste, a budget and a brew.

Compare

Two to five lots on one sheet, on equal footing: price per ounce, notes, process and the evidence behind each score.

Understand

The Cherrybook Index reads up to seven independent signals and always shows its confidence. It is evidence of quality, not a cup score.
