Dear Customer,

Each year we make small adjustments in pricing to reflect cost increases. It’s been tied mostly to California’s annual wage mandates. Inflation hit us all hard the last couple of years.

We stayed ahead of the game in 2023 and kept coffee pricing in line with costs. Raised as we went. I am optimistic gas prices can remain at the 2023 level or drop a bit. Thus we are bucking trends and leaving the fuel fee unchanged. We are leaving our Niagara small bottles unchanged at 7.99. Cooler rents for new top loaders, bottom loaders and reverse osmosis units will also stay the same. If you have a lower older cooler rental, it only changes if you swap the cooler out for a new one.

The areas we will raise will be our 3 packs, up $1. 5 packs and higher packs will go up by about 40 cents a bottle. Customers who buy by the bottle will see 50 cents for most, and 75 cents for those whose pricing was below the norm or overlooked on previous movements.

That’s it. Some years increases are dramatic, this year is not. We have to keep up with wages, fuel and inflation. But we also aren’t going to take advantage of the situation either. So 2024 is not an aggressive price hike year, despite what we’ve read about inflation. For details about specific pack pricing, see our updated pricing brochure (in pdf format).

Your business and the ability to serve you isn’t something I take for granted. We are making every effort to email, text, web announce and deliver notes to ensure we do nothing underhanded. I hope you appreciate the efforts to do so, we appreciate you.

Sincerely,
