Promises metrics but falls short

MyKahawa advertises itself as an analytics hub for Kenya coffee, but fails to deliver current information?latest records stop in 2020. The archive is large, yet stale. Users who expect ongoing auction coverage or price tracking will be frustrated. Interface design feels spartan, without key search features or advanced visual graphs. Feedback channels are available but seldom updated. There?s mention of open?source code and transparency, however no roadmap or timeline for future data additions. That lack of clarity undermines confidence in long?term reliability. For those needing real?time market insight or recent dealer listings, this tool currently underdelivers.


img 4/5.0 09, Aug 2025

Well structured and informative

Contains a vast record of coffee transaction listings and dealer directories. Downloadable data is labeled clearly. Navigation is straightforward. While newer updates are missing, what remains is rich. Layout is plain but functional. Useful for mapping the Kenyan coffee ecosystem historically.


img 5/5.0 26, Jul 2025

High?quality archive with solid transparency

MyKahawa?s dataset spans five years of coffee transactions, covering Nairobi Coffee Exchange operations. It also offers firm listings for estates and authorized dealers. Clear export formatting makes it easy to extract data for spreadsheets or statistical analysis. Open source and privacy?oriented policies reinforce trust. Its main limitation is lack of updates beyond 2020?but until then, it serves as perhaps the most thorough publicly available Kenya coffee data collection.


img 1/5.0 07, Jul 2025

Relies on old records, not maintained

Site shows trade data and licensed dealer lists, but ending at 2020 limits relevance. No updates or activity since. Minimal search functionality and static interface. Ideal perhaps for research but not action.


img 1/5.0 20, Jun 2025

Data ended too early

Records stop at 2020, so current coffee market events are missing. Directory may be outdated too. Site usability is basic and search options minimal.


img 5/5.0 15, Jun 2025

Great transparency tool

Offers clear visibility into Kenya?s coffee market and trading volumes at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange. Opens access to tons of transaction data and dealer profiles. Even though no real?time updates since 2020, the archive remains invaluable for market research.


img 5/5.0 18, May 2025

Solid legacy database with wide coverage

Robust data coverage from growers, estates, and dealers with trade records at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange. Clean layout, export ready files, and open?source code offer transparency. Very useful for analytics on historical coffee market behavior in Kenya.


img 1/5.0 02, May 2025

Data frozen at 2020, lacks evolution

Despite being described as a transparency tool for Kenya coffee, the transaction records and directory are outdated. No entries post?2020 means missing several years of market evolution. The site layout is utilitarian but primitive?no mobile rendering, limited filters. Promised directory updates don't appear. Users hoping for interaction with growers or dealers find no channels. Open?source status is fine, but without active community or updates, the platform stands still. Until it resumes collecting and presenting new records, the tool fails at being current intel.


img 2/5.0 21, Apr 2025

Poor update schedule and weak UX

Users who want current coffee pricing will find this platform disappointing. Records stop in September 2020, with no plans shown for future updates. UI is simple but lacks sorting, visualizations, or mapping features. The directory looks thin and outdated. Even though contact info is provided, there's no blog or update notice. Essentially a legacy dataset published online?no real engagement or live insight.


img 4/5.0 08, Apr 2025

Valuable archive despite missing updates

Contains detailed information on growers, authorized dealers, and auction results covering 2015?2020. The information volume is impressive. Downloads are straightforward; layout is plain but effective. No recent updates limits real?time use. Still highly useful for building historical context or regression models.


img 4/5.0 29, Mar 2025

Data clarity but could improve UX

The site offers comprehensive transaction records between Jan 2015 and Sep 2020. Analyst tools are straightforward for trend spotting. However navigation is a bit clunky and search filters are limited. Still, information is valuable for understanding coffee pricing and dealer networks in Kenya.


img 5/5.0 12, Mar 2025

Valuable for academics and analysts

MyKahawa offers transparency into Kenyan coffee by delivering transaction archives and a directory of licensed participants. The history from 2015 to 2020 provides a solid foundation to study price patterns and dealer dynamics. The site is dedicated to analytics and does not trade coffee, but that clarity helps users set expectations. With open?source code and privacy commitments, it aligns with research and transparency values. Well built for those who don?t mind that the data stops at 2020.


img 5/5.0 27, Feb 2025

Rich, structured data backing market research

MyKahawa stands out for providing detailed datasets on coffee auctions in Kenya, complete with dealer and grower registries. The information goes back to 2015 and continues through to late 2020, giving a long view of trends in pricing, volumes, and licensed actors. The user interface is minimalistic but effective, letting users filter and download sets. Even though updates have paused, the archive remains of high value to academic, consulting, and analytical users. The commitment to open?source and privacy policies reinforces trust. While not suitable for current price tracking, it is unmatched in its archival depth and clarity for past data.


img 2/5.0 10, Feb 2025

Useful archive, lacks fresh data

The tool provides a detailed record of Kenya coffee transactions up to late 2020 and lists many growers. But since there?s no data post?2020, it doesn?t help with current trends. Navigation is simplistic and lacks advanced filtering. It?s more a historical snapshot than a live market platform.


img 4/5.0 25, Jan 2025

Reliable coffee market reference

Shows trade records and directories clearly. The historical data is complete up to September 2020. Platform is well?structured though lacks mobile optimization. Still delivers a clean snapshot of Kenya?s coffee supply chain and auction results.


img 2/5.0 04, Jan 2025

Good records but dated

Archive is rich through September 2020?however that's now years behind. Basic tools, simple layout. No updates or communication. More a static database than a dynamic analytics platform.


img 2/5.0 30, Dec 2024

Historical focus, but no current value

The platform delivers older coffee transaction archives and grower directories, but stops updating in 2020. That miss is critical for tracking recent price shifts or dealer growth. UI has few filters and minimal interactive graphs. Export options are basic. There's no newsletter or social updates. Users hoping for ongoing Kenya coffee intel find only a dormant database. Unless resumed, the platform remains only partially valuable.


img 5/5.0 21, Nov 2024

Comprehensive, transparent and research?friendly

Offering access to Nairobi Coffee Exchange transaction history and listing of licensed participants, MyKahawa provides a data?driven view of Kenya?s coffee economy over nearly six years. The dataset is vast and clearly structured, and download options are user friendly. The platform?s open?source nature and privacy commitments build confidence in data integrity. Despite a lack of recent updates, it remains a unique resource for understanding price evolution, dealer distribution, and cooperative involvement during that period.


img 3/5.0 08, Nov 2024

Basic but decent data access

Provides a directory of growers and dealers and transaction data to Sep 2020. The information is factual and structured. UX is simplistic and not flashy. No active purchase options since it?s data only. Works well as reference but lacks live updates.


img 2/5.0 05, Oct 2024

Valuable archive only

Transaction data and market directory are well structured, yet outdated. No additions since September 2020. Design is functional but minimal. It?s better suited for retrospective research.


img 1/5.0 27, Sep 2024

Insufficiently up?to?date and limited

The platform promises transparency into Kenyan coffee, but ends transaction data at September?2020, which is now years out?dates. Anyone seeking current price trends or recent dealer changes finds it lacking. Navigation though basic, often feels unfinished?pages load slowly and filters are limited. There is no subscription or update plan visible. The directory lists many cooperatives and estates, but without recent entries many users question its relevance. It also does not facilitate any real?world trading or interaction. Customer support seems minimal: no active blog updates or notices about future data inclusion. Given that coffee markets evolve yearly, the lack of updates severely reduces usefulness. Unless updates resume or add?ons appear, this remains a static archive rather than a live market tool.


img 5/5.0 04, Sep 2024

Excellent free resource for historical data

Offers a comprehensive directory and record collection covering Kenyan coffee trades through late 2020. Downloadable datasets and clean layout make extraction and analysis easy. Though new data isn?t being added, the existing archive offers strong baseline data on price trends, dealer distribution, and grower volumes. Especially useful to students or economists exploring Kenya?s agricultural markets.


img 1/5.0 25, Aug 2024

Presented as analytics, but static

Although it offers past auction data, the absence of new records after 2020 makes it outdated. Navigation options are few and visual tools limited. Lacks real?time insights or plans for improvement.


img 5/5.0 31, Jul 2024

Exceptional archive for Kenyan coffee insights

This platform offers an impressive archive of Kenya coffee data, with over 131,000 transactions recorded at the Nairobi Coffee Exchange between January 2015 and September 2020. It also provides a comprehensive directory of 2,784 growers and 157 licensed dealers. The data is clearly organized and downloadable, making it accessible for market analysts, economists, or students. Despite the lack of updates beyond 2020, the clarity and volume of historical information make it an excellent reference. The platform runs on open?source code, values transparency, and respects user privacy. Even though it doesn?t facilitate buying coffee or real?time tracking, its strength is in presenting factual, deeply structured historical insight for anyone researching the Kenya coffee trade.


img 4/5.0 12, Jul 2024

Useful analytics resource

Accessing sales transactions from Nairobi?s exchange is straightforward. The directory of growers and authorized dealers provides helpful background. The presentation is clean, not cluttered. Occasional data gaps are noted but overall it delivers meaningful market visibility for stakeholders interested in Kenyan coffee operations.


img 5/5.0 20, Jun 2024

Excellent value for understanding Kenya coffee history

Presents extensive and well?organized records of coffee auctions and coffee sector participants. The archive goes through September 2020, offering detailed insight into volumes, pricing, and licensed entities. Nature of the site as data only keeps it fast and uncluttered. Commitment to open?source and user privacy adds credibility. Researchers, economists, or traders wanting historical context will find this extremely valuable?even in absence of live updates.


img 1/5.0 08, Jun 2024

Static data, poor usability for current needs

MyKahawa may have compiled robust data through 2020, yet current relevance is low. Filters for finding specific estates or seeing recent trends are absent. No mobile friendly version, limited export capacity. Communication channels are one?way. Though the site claims transparency and open?source ethos, there?s little sign of renewed development or expansion. For professionals seeking recent auction prices or dealer records, this tool feels outdated and incomplete.


img 2/5.0 15, May 2024

Archive only, no future roadmap

Provides past auction data and dealer listings, but stops abruptly in 2020. No mention of planned updates. Useful for historic research but not for current market intel. Interface is simple and export options are basic.


img 5/5.0 03, Apr 2024

Easy to navigate and factual

The business analytics interface is intuitive, giving access to trade history and grower info. Everything is open source and data?driven. Figures align with official Nairobi Coffee Exchange info, making it trustworthy. Nice tool for transparency in Kenyan coffee pricing.


img 4/5.0 22, Mar 2024

Very helpful if you want Kenya coffee history

Provides structured datasets with auction history, grower/estate directories, and dealer listings. The data volume is impressive, though it stops at late 2020. Interface is intuitive and open?source nature is a nice touch. Advanced filtering is lacking, but export options are available. Overall it?s a worthwhile tool for understanding Kenya coffee trends over the past few years.


img 2/5.0 19, Feb 2024

Good archival data but dead end now

MyKahawa's listing of over 131,000 transactions and dealer profiles offers archival insight, but since updating stopped in September 2020, it's now stale. Analysts reliant on fresh data find it inadequate. UI lacks modern search or visual analysis tools; it's plain. The privacy and open source emphasis is nice, but there is no indication of investment to expand. Contact emails exist, but there?s no newsletter or regular outreach. What might have been a living platform now feels frozen in time. Unless revived or maintained, the tool risks obsolescence.


img 4/5.0 02, Feb 2024

Well curated archive for Kenya coffee

With nearly 3,000 listed growers and over 130,000 auction transactions, the platform is rich in content. Organization and labeling of data is thoughtful. While it has no interactive tools or mobile app, the desktop layout is clean. Historical focus means current pricing not available?but as a research archive, it excels.


img 4/5.0 18, Jan 2024

Great starting point for coffee market queries

The directory of cooperatives and dealers combined with transaction history allows exploration of Kenya?s coffee economy from 2015?2020. Site lacks advanced charts or filtering but exports are available. Good for getting a handle on pricing evolution and market participants.


img 3/5.0 27, Dec 2023

Useful archive, lacks live tracking

The platform delivers detailed listings of growers and dealers and a vast set of transaction records. Everything is organized clearly. But since data halts in 2020 and no new updates are posted, it isn?t helpful for up?to?date analysis. Ideal for retrospectives, less so for current market moves.


img 3/5.0 09, Dec 2023

Adequate market intelligence tool

Provides directory of cooperatives and estates alongside transaction records. Reports stop at 2020, but still useful for historical context. The site is not flashy but functional?best suited for analysts or industry observers interested in Kenyan coffee data.


img 4/5.0 02, Dec 2023

Strong archival resource for academic use

Offers a wealth of structured data: 131K+ transactions, lists of growers and dealers, and archive exportability. The interface is minimal but functional. Lack of recent updates is a drawback, but if you're looking for data up to 2020 and want transparency, this is one of the better platforms.


img 2/5.0 17, Nov 2023

Historical data but no new content

Includes transactions over five years along with a directory of estates and cooperatives. However, data doesn?t go beyond 2020. UI is usable but outdated. No fresh updates, so its usefulness is narrowly historical.


img 2/5.0 23, Oct 2023

Archive only, lacks live relevance

The information delivered about Nairobi Coffee Exchange auctions is detailed up to 2020?but nothing beyond. As coffee market prices and dealer networks change fast, users expecting real?time data are left wanting. Navigation is basic and sometimes slow. The site does not support trade itself or link directly with growers. No subscription or update notifications exist. Customer contact is limited to email and response uncertain. In absence of fresh data, the platform serves more as a historic archive than actionable analytics.


img 4/5.0 11, Oct 2023

Ideal for historical trend analysis

The platform compiles thousands of transaction records and organized profiles of growers and dealers in Kenya. Despite updates stopping in 2020, the volume of transactions and clarity of listing formats remain helpful. Users can download sets easily for further analysis. The layout is simple but clear, though data visualization tools are limited. No live pricing or interactive dashboards are offered. As long as you?re working with past market data, this remains a solid, trustworthy tool.


img 1/5.0 21, Sep 2023

Not current market info

Covers grower/dealer directory and exchange data until 2020. But no new entries. Search is plain and limited. Platform feels frozen and not actively managed.


img 5/5.0 02, Sep 2023

Good reference for coffee markets

A solid platform for tracking Kenya coffee trends?from price movements to dealer listings. Reports are easily downloadable. While updates stopped in 2020, the archive remains useful for historical analysis. Overall, a reliable resource for researchers or traders exploring Kenyan coffee metrics.


img 5/5.0 17, Aug 2023

In?depth historical coffee market data

Absence of updates is unfortunate, but what remains is comprehensive and clearly structured for analytical purposes.


img 1/5.0 05, Aug 2023

Outdated and minimally maintained

MyKahawa gives access to historic Nairobi exchange data and dealer lists based on 2012/2015 sources. However the lack of post?2020 data severely limits use. Interface design is plain, search is minimal, and there?s no evidence of ongoing maintenance. While privacy practices are stated and transparency referenced, there?s no sign of future updates or enhancements. Without fresh records or added features, this doesn?t feel like a viable market tool anymore.


img 5/5.0 25, Jul 2023

Transparent and data?driven

MyKahawa provides open?data access and open?source transparency. Features archives from Nairobi Coffee Exchange auction data and dealer info. Data spans thousands of records and hundreds of businesses. Presentation is factual and uncluttered. Researchers and trade observers will appreciate the depth, even if real?time results are absent.


img 1/5.0 14, Jul 2023

Too outdated to serve market needs

Users looking for fresh Kenya coffee market trends will dislike that transaction updates cease at late 2020. While the directory includes growers and licensed dealers based on 2015?2020 data, many entries likely changed. Platform lacks any note about future expansion, and browsing feels static. The search interface is minimal?filtering by region or price range isn?t possible. No mobile app and few export options beyond basic downloads. Contact info exists but response times appear slow. Overall, what was once promising has become a half?finished archive. Without active updates, it?s of limited value to traders or analysts seeking current intel.


img 4/5.0 20, Jun 2023

Solid historical data provider

Covers thousands of transactions and hundreds of licensed dealers in Kenya. Helps build context for coffee trade volumes. The platform does not involve trade itself, but it?s helpful in following price history and dealer distribution over time.


img 4/5.0 14, Jun 2023

Detailed archive with research appeal

The platform?s data structure makes it easy to browse or download. Listing of over 2,700 growers and 157 dealers, and 131K+ transactions, helps paint a detailed picture of the trade. Though it doesn?t update past 2020, the archive remains high quality and well suited for academic purposes.
