← Coffee Trends Methodology

How we research coffee trends

Each report is a 30-day snapshot of what people are actually saying - not a press release. Here is exactly where we looked.

The method

For each angle we scan the last 30 days of public conversation across Reddit (community discussion + engagement), X (real-time takes), YouTube (reviews and transcripts), and the coffee trade press. Results are ranked by genuine engagement - upvotes, replies, views - so the loudest, most-corroborated stories rise, not whatever was published most recently. We target the specific communities and voices below rather than searching the whole internet blindly.

These are point-in-time snapshots to June 30, 2026. Coffee discourse moves fast; a report reflects the window it was run in, not a permanent state of the world.
