Coffee prices in Canada reach record highs amid rising costs

Coffee prices in Canada have seen a steady increase since 2019, reaching a record high in February 2025. Between 2024 and 2025, the cost per cup rose by $0.31. This price surge has led many Canadian consumers to shift from coffee shops to home brewing rather than reducing overall consumption.

As of 2026, the price per bag of beans is approximately 223% of what it was several years ago. The market remains price inelastic, meaning demand stays relatively stable despite rising costs. This trend is driven largely by production challenges in tropical regions such as Brazil, Kenya, and Liberia, where climate sensitivity and soil quality issues impact yields.
