From mid-February, customers will have to pay between 50 cents and 1 euro more per pound (500 grams) depending on the variety, as the company announced in Hamburg.

Raw coffee has become significantly scarcer, the weather has led to weaker harvests and higher prices, said a spokesperson for Tchibo. In order to continue offering customers the usual quality, action must be taken. Tchibo had already increased coffee prices once in April 2024.

Tchibo is More Open About Prices Than Other Providers

A price increase for coffee had already been indicated at the end of last year. The price for Arabica beans traded at the ICE commodity exchange in New York climbed to the highest value in decades in November. In 2024 alone, raw coffee prices rose by around 70 percent.

Tchibo is more open about its prices than other providers. Unlike many other coffee roasters, the company sells its products directly to end consumers in its stores and can therefore also set its prices. Many other coffee traders supply their products to the food retail trade, which sets the end prices.
