Fabrice Moschetti, a coffee roaster in Vallejo, continues his Saturday free tastings despite significant challenges from rising raw material costs, insurance, and a 10% tariff. Green coffee prices have more than doubled in the past year due to various factors, including climate change and logistical issues affecting major producers like Brazil and Vietnam. The tastings, praised by customers like Greg Reed for fostering community engagement, highlight the resilience and importance of local businesses in the face of economic struggles.
"Despite what he describes as 'a perfect storm' of soaring raw material costs, insurance and utility prices and a 10 percent tariff, coffee roaster Fabrice Moschetti continues his longstanding free tastings."
"Prices for green coffee have more than doubled in the last year, and Moschetti struggles with rising costs from insurance and PG&E that have tripled."
