Every Friday, Perfect Daily Grind rounds up the top coffee industry news from the week.
Coffee professionals and enthusiasts alike are always keen to try new brewers, accessories, and gadgets. AeroPress recently released its long-awaited Premium brewer: a handmade glass and stainless steel model that will be sure to resonate with specialty coffee consumers. As it stands, however, competitors won’t be able to use the new brewer at future World AeroPress Championships – but could this change in the future?
Turning to broader industry news, less than a week after confirming to the World Trade Organisation that the EUDR would be implemented in December 2024, the European Union has now proposed a one-year delay. Key industry players and stakeholders have continuously expressed major concerns about the legislation, so it appears that the EU has finally started to acknowledge them.
The legislation will have significant ramifications for the production and trade of coffee around the world when it does come into effect, considering the EU consumes over a third of the world’s coffee. But while this might be a relief for some, the EUDR still seems inevitable, and when the time comes, producers, roasters, and traders will all need to be prepared.
