Although some would love this budget-friendly price, most don&#8217;t even realize the severe effects it has on the coffee supply chain.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A semi-foreigner like me in Italy, meaning I&#8217;m from Israel but been living in Italy for 4 years, knows well the hype around Italian coffee throughout the world. I have strong opinions about the Italian coffee culture, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">some of them were even expressed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/en\/magazine-en\/italian-coffee-dark-roast-on-the-spotlight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> in Vinhood<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They might be contradicted to what some non-Italians think, and definitely many Israelis. The main one, of course, is &#8220;<em>ohh how good the Italian espresso is!<\/em>&#8221; that you often hear outside (and inside) the peninsula. The second most common statement is usually &#8220;<em>espresso in Italy is so cheap! You pay one euro for an amazing espresso!<\/em>&#8220;. The first comment is obviously a matter of opinion (is it? I&#8217;ll tell you more another time), experience, culture and so many other factors. It doesn&#8217;t matter now. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>What matters to me is the second comment: &#8220;CHEAP COFFEE&#8221;<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>AN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coffee, as many other gastronomic products, is an agricultural produce. Like most of them, the quality of the raw material is crucial. Non-similarly to some others, coffee is a &#8216;processed&#8217; product. Not really in the sense of artificial, chemical or fake, but more about the enormous journey it&#8217;s going through: in the fields, in factories, in roasteries, in coffee shops. Coffee is passing by so many pairs of hands, machinery, equipment, shipping mediums and quality tests. Each and every sector within the coffee industry, what we call &#8220;the coffee supply chain&#8221;, has thousands of people working in it around the world. Obviously, these people must get paid, right? So how does an 80-cent cup of espresso pay so many people along the chain? Well, that&#8217;s a hell of a question! <strong>IT DOES NOT<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we think of every single sector in the industry, the higher the quality, the higher the salary. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make it simple and quick, let me show you the average journey for most coffees: farming and agricultural practices -&gt; harvest -&gt; selection -&gt; processing (fermentation) -&gt; drying -&gt; another selection -&gt; transportation to exporters -&gt; export and shipment -&gt; green coffee analysis and control -&gt; roasting -&gt; packaging -&gt; brewing. Think of the crazy amount of people involved, machines used, money spent. It&#8217;s a lot. In each and every step I&#8217;ve just mentioned (I even skipped a few!). Do you REALLY think a cup of coffee for less than a euro could encapsulate all those costs, all this quality? By now, I hope you know the answer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-12176\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/inner_cheap_coffee_3.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/inner_cheap_coffee_3.jpg\" alt=\"bacche di caff\u00e8\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27800%27%20height%3D%27400%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20800%20400%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27800%27%20height%3D%27400%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/inner_cheap_coffee_3-200x100.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/inner_cheap_coffee_3-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/inner_cheap_coffee_3-400x200.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/inner_cheap_coffee_3-500x250.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/inner_cheap_coffee_3-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/inner_cheap_coffee_3-700x350.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/inner_cheap_coffee_3-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vinhood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/inner_cheap_coffee_3.jpg 800w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">photo by:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/saar.avrashi\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Saar Avrashi<\/a><\/h6>\n<h2><b>EFFICIENCY OVER QUALITY<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cheap coffee could mean the use of chemicals in the farm to sacrifice quality for quantity and efficiency; cheap coffee could mean exploitation of coffee pickers, certainly the weakest and most fragile personnel in the value chain; cheap coffee could mean no selection of the cherries, therefore uneven ripeness and low quality of raw material; cheap coffee could mean fast and efficient processing, without fermenting, meaning no complexity and character in the cup; cheap coffee could mean exporting the beans through a company which keeps exporting rates low because it pays a lower than average salary to its workers or producers; cheap coffee could mean a roastery that roasts without any passion, attention or style \u2013 just plain, boring, generic coffee; cheap coffee could mean that an amateur non-specialized barista will make your daily cup without a clue of what they&#8217;re actually doing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I know that cheap coffees are somehow appealing and convenient.
