Tim Wendelboe (perhaps the greatest coffee roaster) has been talking about this on his latest Q&A podcast. A rigmarole for exports plus climate change are causing issues.

He does a two-episode deep dive into the Kenyan coffee market here, which is worth a listen: https://timwendelboe.no/2024/03/inside-kenyas-coffee-market-...

I know nothing about coffee roasting but the level of wankery on that site is an absolute delight. Makes me wonder if this is deliberate

I know a lot about coffee roasting and can say that your wankery meter is on point. Calling someone "likely the best coffee roaster" is like calling someone "likely the best wine maker". It's something that people reach for via wankery to get clout. It's not actually something you can asses via reasonable metrics.

He knows a lot about roasting yes, he's not anywhere near some consensus god in coffee roasting no one can touch

Wankery abounds in coffee.
