Coffee e-commerce: selling coffee online in Spain

A decision report for the digital entrepreneur who wants to build an online coffee brand without owning a roastery (roasting bought in from a third party). The thesis: the order's margin is not the problem; the customer who only buys once is. This report resolves, with a purpose-built calculation engine and an adversarial review, whether your specific case sits in the box that makes money or the one that loses it.

What's included

From idea to decision

Each section answers a concrete question asked by anyone considering an online coffee store.

The arithmetic of the order, not of the business

Net revenue, green-coffee cost, contract-roasting fee, shipping, payment gateway and platform: every line of the typical order, with its published rate and its confidence level. The question it answers isn't 'does one order turn a margin?' — it's what happens to a customer depending on how many times they come back.

A decision matrix, not a hunch

A two-axis sensitivity model — customer acquisition cost and repeat-purchase frequency — with result bands, plus a lever analysis that ranks which variable actually moves the outcome and which ones are just supplier-negotiation noise. You plug in your own numbers and see which box you land in.

A dated market audit, not a generic snapshot

Spanish online coffee stores audited one by one: range, pricing, shipping and returns policy. A taxonomy of eleven distinct ways to sell coffee online, with the value proposition and margin of each. And the map of what actually keeps alive the operators who look like they live off selling coffee online alone.

The legal framework, and the case against the report's own thesis

VAT, the right of withdrawal on food products, the One-Stop Shop (OSS) and deforestation due diligence (EUDR), verified against official sources. Plus an adversarial-review chapter that puts the report's verdict through the toughest objections possible before you stake your money on it.

Who is this report for?

For the digital entrepreneur considering an online coffee brand without owning a roastery, buying the roast in from a third party. It works both for someone who hasn't started yet and for someone already selling who wants to know whether their numbers are in the right box.

Does it work if I don't sell in Spain?

The report models the Spanish market: VAT, consumer-protection rules, competitors and shipping and payment-gateway rates are all Spanish. The arithmetic of acquisition cost and repeat purchase — the heart of the method — is universal and can be rebuilt with another country's figures, but the concrete numbers in the report are Spain's.

What's NOT included?

It isn't a bespoke business plan or personalised consulting: it doesn't design your product range or hand you a specific roasting supplier. It's a decision model, with its method and its data, that you apply to your own case.

What languages is it available in?

This report is available in Spanish, English, German and French.
