About
Coffee Local News follows the people and places behind a good cup. We report on café openings and the shops that define their neighbourhoods, the roasters shaping what ends up in the grinder, baristas and competitions, the farms and regions where coffee is grown, and the economics and sustainability questions that run through the whole supply chain.

- Café business: operations, menus, staffing and marketing
- Baristas: skills, education and competitions
- Roasting: roasteries, roasting craft and equipment
- Coffee origins: producing regions across the Americas, Africa and Asia-Pacific
- Sustainability and trade: farmers and labour, climate, prices and trade
- Brewing and knowledge: brewing methods, drinks and coffee science
- Culture and industry: history, opinion, events, companies and people
How we work
We aim to be accurate, fair and clear about where information comes from. When a story depends on figures, prices or claims made by companies, we say so. If you spot a mistake or something that has changed, please let us know and we will correct it.
Coffee Local News is written and edited by a small team of coffee professionals and enthusiasts.
