PRICES ON

A SLIDING SCALE

At Iluminar Coffee, we believe great coffee should be for everyone—not just those who can pay top dollar. That’s why we offer sliding scale pricing on select coffees. It’s a flexible way to make specialty coffee more accessible while ensuring we source green coffee from importers and farmers that pay fair wages and promote socioeconomic and environmental sustainability.

About Sliding Scale

  • Instead of a fixed price, we provide a price range, and you choose what works for you. No matter what you pay, you’ll get the same delicious, carefully roasted coffee.

    • Coffee for Everyone – Specialty coffee shouldn’t feel out of reach. This helps more people enjoy it.

    • Fair Wages & Sustainability – Those who can pay a little more help support the farmers and workers behind every cup.

    • Community-Centered Approach – We trust you to choose what’s right, fostering a shared commitment to ethical coffee sourcing and roasting.

  • 1) Base Price – Covers the basics: green coffee, roasting, packaging, and fair wages.

    2) Sustainer (Standard) Price – Helps us invest in better sourcing, sustainability, and accessibility.

    3) Supporter Price – Gives extra support to farmers, direct trade relationships, and making sliding scale possible.

  • Yes! With over a year of sales data; it most definitely works! We find that 70% of our customers go with the standard price, with 15% paying at the upper price point and 15% paying at the lower price point.
