From Virmax:
Colombian UGQ diffs have continued above 50 cents/lb during the last month. The scarcity of Colombian coffee and the continuous appreciation of the Colombian Peso vs the US Dollar (moving from around 1963 Pesos per Dollar at the beginning of June to 1840 at the end of July - a 6% appreciation in the last 2 months) are the main factors contributing to the firmness in diffs. The average differential during the last 12 months is 60 cent/lb.
With today’s close of USD 1.73/lb, expect to pay at least 2.36/lb (FOB) for your average Colombian UGQ …if you can find any. Supremos are even more expensive at USD 2.55/lb (FOB) due to the bad physical quality of what’s being produced.
Redesigned pallets of Perdura coffee headed to port. Pallet skeleton now made of cardboard rather than wood. Lighter, recyclable, allows for a tighter wrap of the boxes. 
A little bit dated (2004), but this movie, The Future of Food, will make you stop and think about what you are putting in your body. It will also encourage you to know where your food comes from.
