Every figure here is counted from this roaster’s own listings, not from a profile they filled in. We hold no review scores and no verified certifications for any roaster, and we do not collect them. How we count this

How Five Elephant compares

60,00 €/kgtheir median, across 25 priced coffees
41,38 € – 80,51 €where the middle 80% of their range sits
+21%against the median of their own market, 49,40 €/kg
30,00 €130,00 € per kilo

Every priced coffee they sell is a tick. The solid line is their median, the dashed line the median of their market. A roaster above the catalogue is not overcharging and one below is not better value — we hold no quality signal of any kind, so a price difference is only a price difference.

“We feel that the term that best describes our sourcing philosophy is Direct Trade.” their page (opens in a new tab)

These are claims this roaster makes on its own website and we have checked none of them. The sourcing and packaging ones are about the business rather than any particular bag, so they are never applied to an individual coffee. The delivery total is the exception: it is quoted on each of their coffees, because what you pay to have a bag sent to you is part of what the bag costs.
