BUSINESS ACTIVITIES | Coffee Holding Co., Inc. (the “Company”) conducts wholesale coffee operations, including manufacturing, roasting, packaging, marketing and distributing roasted and blended coffees for private labeled accounts and its own brands, and it sells green coffee. The Company also manufactures and sells coffee roasters. The Company’s core product, coffee, can be summarized and divided into three product categories (“product lines”) as follows: Wholesale Green Coffee: Private Label Coffee: Branded Coffee: The Company’s private label and branded coffee sales are primarily to customers that are located throughout the United States with limited sales in Canada and certain countries in Asia. Such customers include supermarkets, wholesalers, and individually-owned and multi-unit retailers. The Company’s unprocessed green coffee, which includes over 90 specialty coffee offerings, is sold primarily to specialty gourmet roasters and to coffee shop operators in the United States with limited sales in Australia, Canada, England and China. The Company’s wholesale green, private label, and branded coffee product categories generate revenues and cost of sales individually but incur selling, general and administrative expenses in the aggregate. There are no individual product managers and discrete financial information is not available for any of the product lines. The Company’s product portfolio is used in one business and it operates and competes in one business activity and economic environment. In addition, the three product lines share customers, manufacturing resources, sales channels, and marketing support. Thus, the Company considers the three product lines to be one single reporting segment. |

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | 12 Months Ended |
Oct. 31, 2016 | |
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Organic Products Trading Company, LLC (“OPTCO”), Sonofresco LLC (“Sono”) and Generations Coffee Company, LLC (“GCC”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Significant estimates include allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable and reserves, inventory obsolescence, depreciation, intangible asset valuations and useful lives, taxes, contingencies, and valuation of financial instruments. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could have a significant impact on recorded amounts. CASH: Cash consists primarily of unrestricted cash on deposit at financial institutions and brokerage firms. PREPAID GREEN COFFEE: Prepaid coffee is an item that emanates from OPTCO. The balance represents advance payments made by OPTCO to several coffee growing cooperatives for the purchase of green coffee. Interest is charged to the cooperatives for these advances. Interest earned was $41,176 and $45,049 as of October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The prepaid coffee balance was $435,577 and $620,452 as of October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE: Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. Past due balances over 60 days and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. The reserve for sales discounts represents the estimated discount that customers will take upon payment. The reserve for other allowances represents the estimated amount of returns, slotting fees and volume based discounts estimated to be incurred by the Company from its customers. The allowances are summarized as follows: 2016 2015 Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 65,000 $ 65,000 Reserve for other allowances 35,000 35,000 Reserve for sales discounts 44,000 44,000 Totals $ 144,000 $ 144,000 INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (First in, first out basis) or market, including provisions for obsolescence commensurate with known or estimated exposures. There are no reserves for obsolescence as of October 31, 2016 and 2015. MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT: Machinery and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Purchases of machinery and equipment and additions and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized at cost. Expenditures which do not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred. The Company also provides for amortization of leasehold improvements. COMMODITIES HELD BY BROKER: The commodities held at broker represent the market value of the Company’s trading account, which consists of option and future contracts for coffee held with a brokerage firm. The Company uses options and futures contracts, which are not designated or qualifying as hedging instruments, to partially hedge the effects of fluctuations in the price of green coffee beans. Options and futures contracts are recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements with current recognition of gains and losses on such positions. The Company's accounting for options and futures contracts may increase earnings volatility in any particular period. The Company has open position contracts held by the broker, which are summarized as follows: 2016 2015 Option contracts $ (83,753 ) $ (134,613 ) Future contracts 218,475 (349,222 ) Commodities due to broker $ 134,722 $ (483,835 ) The Company classifies its options and future contracts as trading securities and accordingly, unrealized holding gains and losses are included in earnings. At October 31, 2016, the Company held 22 futures contracts (generally with terms of three to four months) for the purchase of 825,000 pounds of green coffee at a weighted average price of $1.45 per pound. The fair market value of coffee applicable to such contracts was $1.64 per pound at that date. At October 31, 2016, the Company did not have any options. At October 31, 2015, the Company held 38 futures contracts (generally with terms of three to four months) for the purchase of 1,425,000 pounds of green coffee at a weighted average price of $1.23 per pound. The fair market value of coffee applicable to such contracts was $1.21 per pound at that date. At October 31, 2015, the Company held 20 options covering an aggregate of 750,000 pounds of green coffee beans at $1.25 per pound. The fair market value of these options, which was obtained from observable market data of similar instruments was $42,750. Included in cost of sales for the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded realized and unrealized gains and losses respectively, on these contracts as follows: Year Ended October 31, 2016 2015 Gross realized gains $ 1,443,046 $ 1,292,471 Gross realized (losses) (1,000,976 ) (6,778,407 ) Unrealized gains 618,558 1,089 Total $ 1,060,628 $ (5,484,847 ) GOODWILL AND TRADEMARKS: The Company has determined that its goodwill and trademarks, which consist of product lines, trade names and packaging designs have an indefinite useful life. The value of the goodwill and trademarks was allocated based on an independent valuation. Goodwill and trademarks are not amortized but are assigned to a specific reporting unit or asset class and tested for impairment at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the reporting unit’s carrying amount of goodwill and trademarks is greater than its fair value. As of October 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has determined by using a qualitative assessment that an impairment did not exist. In 2011, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard ASB ASU 2011-08 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under this amendment, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendment includes a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. CUSTOMER LIST AND RELATIONSHIPS: Customer list and relationships consist of a specific customer lists and customer contracts obtained by the Company in the acquisition of OPTCO and Sono which are being amortized on the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of twenty years. ADVERTISING: The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotion as incurred. Advertising costs charged to operations totaled $170,774 and $157,922 for the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. INCOME TAXES: The Company accounts for EARNINGS PER SHARE: Basic earnings per common share were computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common shares issuable upon exercise of potential sources of dilution. The weighted average common shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share were 6,082,777 and 6,212,929 for the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of the bank line of credit borrowings approximates fair value because the debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instruments when available. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION: The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the authoritative guidance. Revenue is recognized at the point title and risk of ownership transfers to its customers upon the Company’s shippers taking possession of the goods at the time of shipment because i) title passes in accordance with the terms of the Company’s purchase orders and with its agreements with its customers, ii) any risk of loss is covered by the Company’s customers’ insurance, iii) there is persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement, iv) the sales price is determinable and v) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Thus, revenue is recognized at the point of shipment to its customers. Returns: The Company does not accept returns for damaged goods on packaged coffee and usable green coffee, as the customer takes possession of our product at the point of shipment. In the event a customer claims receipt of damaged goods, the Company, acting as an agent on behalf of the customer, may file a claim for reimbursement with the shipper. The Company is not obligated or required to act as an agent on behalf of its customers, but may make the business decision to do so as a convenience to its customers. The shipper keeps the damaged product. The Company will then ship a completely new order to the customer once a claim has been filed and the Company receives reimbursement or credit from the shipper for the initial shipment. The Company does evaluate the need, if any, of an accrual for returns for damaged goods. To date, returns for damaged goods have been immaterial. The Company estimates that, based on historical trends, that future returns for damaged goods should also be immaterial. In the event that the Company ships an incorrect order or has returns for short dated product, the Company will accept those two types of items back as returns. The amount for these two types of returns are estimated, accrued and recognized at the date of sale. These amounts are included in the determination of net sales. Slotting fees: Certain retailers require the payment of slotting fees in order to obtain space for the Company’s products on the retailer’s store shelves. The cost of these fees are estimated, accrued and recognized at the earlier of the date cash is paid or a liability to the retailer is created. The amounts are included in the determination of net sales. Sales discounts: The amount of sales discounts are estimated, accrued and recognized at the date of the sale. These amounts are included in the determination of net sales. Volume-based incentives: These incentives typically involve rebates or refunds of a specific amount of cash consideration that are redeemable only if the reseller completes a specified cumulative level of sales transactions. Under incentive programs of this nature, the Company estimates and accrues the cost of the rebate when it is taken by the reseller. These amounts are included in the determination of net sales. Cooperative advertising: Under these arrangements, the Company will agree to reimburse the reseller for a portion of the costs incurred by the reseller to advertise and promote certain of the Company’s products. The Company estimates, accrues and recognizes the cost of cooperative advertising programs in the period in which the advertising and promotional activity first takes place. The costs of these incentives are included in advertising expense. SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTS: Revenue earned from shipping and handling fees is reflected in net sales. Costs associated with shipping product to customers aggregating approximately $1,506,000 and $1,352,000 for the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, is included in selling and administrative expenses. CONCENTRATION OF RISK: Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits at financial institutions and brokerage firms. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to certain limits. At October 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had approximately $1,539,429 and $220,422 in excess of FDIC insured limits, respectively. The accounts at the brokerage firm contain cash and securities. Balances are insured up to $500,000, with a limit of $100,000 for cash, by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). At October 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had approximately $348,041 and $2,818,431 in excess of SIPC insured limits, respectively. See Note 10 for concentration of risks with respect to trade receivables and purchases from accounts payable vendors. OPERATING LEASES: The Company has operating lease agreements for its corporate office and warehouses, some of which contain provisions for future rent increases or periods in which rent payments are abated. Operating leases which provide for lease payments that vary materially from the straight-line basis are adjusted for financial accounting purposes to reflect rental income or expense on the straight-line basis in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by the FASB. The excess of straight-line rent over actual payments by the Company of $231,216 and $222,055 is included as deferred rent payable as of October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. EQUITY METHOD OF ACCOUNTING: Investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an Investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the Investee company’s board of directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the Investee company. Under the equity method of accounting, an Investee company’s accounts are not reflected within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income; however, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the Investee company is reflected in the caption “Loss from equity method investments” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company’s carrying value in an equity method Investee company is reflected in the caption “Equity method investments” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s investment in a company that is accounted for on the equity method of accounting consist of the following: (1) 20% interest in Healthwise Gourmet Coffees, LLC, a distributor of low acidity coffees. The investments in this company amounted to $100,000. The loss recognized amounted to $972 and $833 for the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The net value of this investment as presented on our consolidated balance sheet at October 31, 2016 and 2015 was $95,598 and $96,571, respectively. |

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract] | |
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AFFECTING THE COMPANY | The FASB has issued ASU No. 201517, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which changes how deferred taxes are classified on organizations' balance sheets. The ASU eliminates the current requirement for organizations to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, organizations will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The amendments apply to all organizations that present a classified balance sheet. For public companies, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. For private companies, notforprofit organizations, and employee benefit plans, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,” which applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost. Under the updated guidance, an entity should measure inventory that is within scope at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory that is measured using last-in, last-out (“LIFO”). This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and should be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted at the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. The FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-01 requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years (i.e., January 1, 2019, for a calendar year entity). Nonpublic business entities should apply the amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 (i.e., January 1, 2020, for a calendar year entity), and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Early application is permitted for all public business entities and all nonpublic business entities upon issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. On March 17, 2016 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-08 that amends the guidance for Principle versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), In May 2014 the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date Principal versus Agent Considerations Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, |

FORMATION OF SUBSIDIARY | On June 23, 2016, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary named Sonofresco, LLC a Delaware limited liability company. Pursuant to the terms of an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Assets dated June 23, 2016 (the “Sono Agreement”), by and among the Company, Coffee Kinetics LLC, a Washington limited liability company (the “Seller”), the members of the Seller and Sono (the “Buyer”), the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Sono, purchased substantially all the assets, including equipment, inventory, customer list and relationships (the “Assets”) of the Seller. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations.” The Buyer purchased the Assets for a purchase price consisting of $819,564 in cash and 38,364 shares of the Company's redeemable common stock (the “Sono Shares”) with a value of $200,004 (the "Common Stock Payment Amount") issued on June 29, 2016. As part of the transaction, all of the employees of the Seller became employees of the Buyer. In addition, on June 29, 2016, the Company entered into a one-year advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), with one of the Seller’s executives (the “Executive”), on an independent contractor basis, to ensure continuity of the business and to continue to operate the business located in Washington. The Advisory Agreement will automatically renew for an additional one year term upon the expiration of the first year term unless terminated by the Company. After completion of the first year term, the Advisory Agreement is subject to renewal by mutual agreement of the parties. Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Executive is entitled to cash compensation of $50,000 per annum. If the Advisory Agreement is terminated prior to the end of the first year term, the Executive is entitled to receive an additional $50,000 termination fee. If the term of the Advisory Agreement is extended past the first year term, subject to certain exceptions, the Executive will be entitled to the $50,000 termination fee upon termination of the Advisory Agreement. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed at the acquisition: Assets acquired: Accounts receivable $ 84,142 Inventory 269,565 Equipment 40,000 Customer list 120,000 Goodwill 577,905 Less: liabilities assumed (72,044 ) Net assets acquired: $ 1,019,568 Purchase of assets funded by: Cash paid $ 819,564 Redeemable Common Stock 200,004 $ 1,019,568 Pursuant to the terms of Sono Agreement, the value of the Sono shares was based on the three day average of the closing price of the Company's common stock for the three trading days immediately prior to June 23, 2016. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Sono Agreement, during the twelve month period commencing on June 29, 2016 (the "Closing Date"), if Seller informs Buyer of its desire to sell all, but not less than all of the Sono Shares to the Company, Buyer agrees to repurchase all but not less than all of the Sono Shares at the Common Stock Payment amount.

LINE OF CREDIT | On March 10, 2015, the Company entered into a loan modification agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) with its lender Sterling National Bank (“Sterling”) which modified the terms of the financing agreement with Sterling previously entered into on February 17, 2009 (the “Financing Agreement”). Prior to the Modification Agreement, the Financing Agreement, as amended, provided for a credit facility in which the Company had a revolving line of credit for a maximum of $7,000,000 (the “Loan Facility”). On February 3, 2011, the Company amended the Financing Agreement to create a sublimit within the revolving line of credit in the form of a $300,000 term loan for the benefit of GCC. The Financing Agreement was set to expire on March 31, 2015. Pursuant to the Modification Agreement, the Financing Agreement was modified to, among other things, (i) extend the term of the Financing Agreement until February 28, 2017; (ii) increase the maximum amount of the Loan Facility from $7,000,000 to $9,000,000; (iii) reduce the interest rate on the average unpaid balance of the line of credit from an interest rate equal to a per annum reference rate of 3.75% to an interest rate per annum equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate; and (iv) require the Company to pay, upon the occurrence of certain termination events, a prepayment premium of 0.50% of the maximum amount of the credit facility in effect as of the date of the termination event. Other than as described above, the Financing Agreement remains in full force and effect. Pursuant to the Modification Agreement, the Company is able to draw on the loan Facility up to an amount of 85% of eligible accounts receivable and 25% of eligible inventory consisting of green coffee beans and finished coffee not to exceed $1,000,000. The Loan Facility is secured by all tangible and intangible assets of the Company. The Loan Facility contains covenants that place annual restrictions on our operations, including covenants related to debt restrictions, capital expenditures, minimum deposit restrictions, tangible net worth, net profit, leverage, employee loan restrictions, distribution restrictions (common stock and preferred stock), dividend restrictions, and restrictive transactions. The Loan Facility also requires that the Company maintain a minimum working capital at all times. The Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants at October 31, 2016 and 2015. As of October 31, 2016 and 2015, the outstanding balance under the bank line of credit was $5,121,375 and $4,317,121, respectively. Also on March 10, 2015, the Company, as guarantor, and OPTCO (the “Borrower”), as borrower, entered into a new loan facility agreement with Sterling. The new loan facility is a revolving line of credit for a maximum of $3,000,000 (the “New Loan Facility”). The New Loan Facility terminates on February 28, 2017. The Borrower is able to draw on the New Loan Facility at an amount up to 85% of eligible accounts receivable, not to exceed 25% of all accounts of the Borrower. The New Loan Facility is payable monthly in arrears on the average unpaid balance of the line of credit at an interest rate per annum equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (currently 3.5%). The New Loan Facility is secured by all tangible and intangible assets of the Company. In connection with the New Loan Facility, the Company entered into a security agreement with Sterling and provided Sterling with a guarantee of the Borrower’s obligations. |

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are expected to be deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are reduced. As of October 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits or open tax positions. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. As of October 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to income taxes. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress. The Company files a U.S. federal income tax return and California, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Virginia and Oregon state tax returns. The Company’s federal income tax return is no longer subject to examination by the federal taxing authority for years before fiscal 2013. The Company’s California, Colorado and New Jersey income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by their respective taxing authorities for the years before fiscal 2010. The Company’s Oregon, New York, Kansas, South Carolina, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Michigan and Texas income tax returns are no longer subject to examination by their respective taxing authorities for the years before fiscal 2011. |

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract] | |
ECONOMIC DEPENDENCY | Approximately 29% of the Company’s sales were derived from one customer during the year ended October 31, 2016. This customer also accounted for approximately $3,661,000 or 27% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at October 31, 2015. Approximately 54% of the Company’s sales were derived from one customer during the year ended October 31, 2015. This customer also accounted for approximately $4,113,000 or 38% of the Company’s accounts receivable balance at October 31, 2015. Concentration of credit risk with respect to other trade receivables is limited due to the short payment terms generally extended by the Company, by ongoing credit evaluations of customers, and by maintaining an allowance for doubtful accounts and other allowances that management believes will adequately provide for credit losses. For the year ended October 31, 2016, approximately 43% of the Company’s purchases were from four vendors. These vendors accounted for approximately $609,000 of the Company’s accounts payable at October 31, 2016. For the year ended October 31, 2015, approximately 64% of the Company’s purchases were from five vendors. These vendors accounted for approximately $2,664,000 of the Company’s accounts payable at October 31, 2015. Management does not believe the loss of any one vendor would have a material adverse effect of the Company’s operations due to the availability of many alternate suppliers. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not adjusted for transaction costs. The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3) as described below: Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible by the Company; Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 Inputs – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants. The Company determines fair values for its investment assets as follows: Investments at fair value consist of commodity securities and deferred compensation plan assets. The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan. The fair value of the plan assets are classified within Level 1 as the assets are valued using quoted prices in active markets. The assets are included with Deposits and other assets in the accompanying balance sheets. Additional information related to the Company’s deferred compensation plan is disclosed in Note 10. The Company’s commodity securities are classified within Level 2 and include coffee futures and options contracts. To determine fair value, the Company utilizes the market approach valuation technique for the coffee futures and options contracts. The Company uses Level 2 inputs that are based on market data of similar instruments that are in observable markets. All commodities on the balance sheet are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings. The following tables present the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION | The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Organic Products Trading Company, LLC (“OPTCO”), Sonofresco LLC (“Sono”) and Generations Coffee Company, LLC (“GCC”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
USE OF ESTIMATES | The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Significant estimates include allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable and reserves, inventory obsolescence, depreciation, intangible asset valuations and useful lives, taxes, contingencies, and valuation of financial instruments. These estimates may be adjusted as more current information becomes available, and any adjustment could have a significant impact on recorded amounts. |
CASH | Cash consists primarily of unrestricted cash on deposit at financial institutions and brokerage firms. |
PREPAID GREEN COFFEE | Prepaid coffee is an item that emanates from OPTCO. The balance represents advance payments made by OPTCO to several coffee growing cooperatives for the purchase of green coffee. Interest is charged to the cooperatives for these advances. Interest earned was $41,176 and $45,049 as of October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The prepaid coffee balance was $435,577 and $620,452 as of October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. |
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE | Trade accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management considers the following factors when determining the collectability of specific customer accounts: customer credit-worthiness, past transaction history with the customer, current economic industry trends, and changes in customer payment terms. Past due balances over 60 days and other higher risk amounts are reviewed individually for collectability. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required. Based on management’s assessment, the Company provides for estimated uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance. Balances that remain outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable. The reserve for sales discounts represents the estimated discount that customers will take upon payment. The reserve for other allowances represents the estimated amount of returns, slotting fees and volume based discounts estimated to be incurred by the Company from its customers. The allowances are summarized as follows: 2016 2015 Allowance for doubtful accounts $ 65,000 $ 65,000 Reserve for other allowances 35,000 35,000 Reserve for sales discounts 44,000 44,000 Totals $ 144,000 $ 144,000 |
INVENTORIES | Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (First in, first out basis) or market, including provisions for obsolescence commensurate with known or estimated exposures. There are no reserves for obsolescence as of October 31, 2016 and 2015. |
MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT | Machinery and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Purchases of machinery and equipment and additions and betterments which substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized at cost. Expenditures which do not materially prolong the normal useful life of an asset are charged to operations as incurred. The Company also provides for amortization of leasehold improvements. |
COMMODITIES HELD BY BROKER | The commodities held at broker represent the market value of the Company’s trading account, which consists of option and future contracts for coffee held with a brokerage firm. The Company uses options and futures contracts, which are not designated or qualifying as hedging instruments, to partially hedge the effects of fluctuations in the price of green coffee beans. Options and futures contracts are recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements with current recognition of gains and losses on such positions. The Company's accounting for options and futures contracts may increase earnings volatility in any particular period. The Company has open position contracts held by the broker, which are summarized as follows: 2016 2015 Option contracts $ (83,753 ) $ (134,613 ) Future contracts 218,475 (349,222 ) Commodities due to broker $ 134,722 $ (483,835 ) The Company classifies its options and future contracts as trading securities and accordingly, unrealized holding gains and losses are included in earnings. At October 31, 2016, the Company held 22 futures contracts (generally with terms of three to four months) for the purchase of 825,000 pounds of green coffee at a weighted average price of $1.45 per pound. The fair market value of coffee applicable to such contracts was $1.64 per pound at that date. At October 31, 2016, the Company did not have any options. At October 31, 2015, the Company held 38 futures contracts (generally with terms of three to four months) for the purchase of 1,425,000 pounds of green coffee at a weighted average price of $1.23 per pound. The fair market value of coffee applicable to such contracts was $1.21 per pound at that date. At October 31, 2015, the Company held 20 options covering an aggregate of 750,000 pounds of green coffee beans at $1.25 per pound. The fair market value of these options, which was obtained from observable market data of similar instruments was $42,750. Included in cost of sales for the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded realized and unrealized gains and losses respectively, on these contracts as follows: Year Ended October 31, 2016 2015 Gross realized gains $ 1,443,046 $ 1,292,471 Gross realized (losses) (1,000,976 ) (6,778,407 ) Unrealized gains 618,558 1,089 Total $ 1,060,628 $ (5,484,847 ) |
GOODWILL AND TRADEMARKS | The Company has determined that its goodwill and trademarks, which consist of product lines, trade names and packaging designs have an indefinite useful life. The value of the goodwill and trademarks was allocated based on an independent valuation. Goodwill and trademarks are not amortized but are assigned to a specific reporting unit or asset class and tested for impairment at least annually or upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that the reporting unit’s carrying amount of goodwill and trademarks is greater than its fair value. As of October 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company has determined by using a qualitative assessment that an impairment did not exist. In 2011, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard ASB ASU 2011-08 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under this amendment, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The amendment includes a number of events and circumstances for an entity to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment. |
CUSTOMER LIST AND RELATIONSHIPS | Customer list and relationships consist of a specific customer lists and customer contracts obtained by the Company in the acquisition of OPTCO and Sono which are being amortized on the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of twenty years. |
ADVERTISING | The Company expenses the cost of advertising and promotion as incurred. Advertising costs charged to operations totaled $170,774 and $157,922 for the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. |
INCOME TAXES | The Company accounts for |
EARNINGS PER SHARE | Basic earnings per common share were computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of common shares issuable upon exercise of potential sources of dilution. The weighted average common shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share were 6,082,777 and 6,212,929 for the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. |
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of the bank line of credit borrowings approximates fair value because the debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instruments when available. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. |
REVENUE RECOGNITION | The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the authoritative guidance. Revenue is recognized at the point title and risk of ownership transfers to its customers upon the Company’s shippers taking possession of the goods at the time of shipment because i) title passes in accordance with the terms of the Company’s purchase orders and with its agreements with its customers, ii) any risk of loss is covered by the Company’s customers’ insurance, iii) there is persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement, iv) the sales price is determinable and v) collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Thus, revenue is recognized at the point of shipment to its customers. Returns: The Company does not accept returns for damaged goods on packaged coffee and usable green coffee, as the customer takes possession of our product at the point of shipment. In the event a customer claims receipt of damaged goods, the Company, acting as an agent on behalf of the customer, may file a claim for reimbursement with the shipper. The Company is not obligated or required to act as an agent on behalf of its customers, but may make the business decision to do so as a convenience to its customers. The shipper keeps the damaged product. The Company will then ship a completely new order to the customer once a claim has been filed and the Company receives reimbursement or credit from the shipper for the initial shipment. The Company does evaluate the need, if any, of an accrual for returns for damaged goods. To date, returns for damaged goods have been immaterial. The Company estimates that, based on historical trends, that future returns for damaged goods should also be immaterial. In the event that the Company ships an incorrect order or has returns for short dated product, the Company will accept those two types of items back as returns. The amount for these two types of returns are estimated, accrued and recognized at the date of sale. These amounts are included in the determination of net sales. Slotting fees: Certain retailers require the payment of slotting fees in order to obtain space for the Company’s products on the retailer’s store shelves. The cost of these fees are estimated, accrued and recognized at the earlier of the date cash is paid or a liability to the retailer is created. The amounts are included in the determination of net sales. Sales discounts: The amount of sales discounts are estimated, accrued and recognized at the date of the sale. These amounts are included in the determination of net sales. Volume-based incentives: These incentives typically involve rebates or refunds of a specific amount of cash consideration that are redeemable only if the reseller completes a specified cumulative level of sales transactions. Under incentive programs of this nature, the Company estimates and accrues the cost of the rebate when it is taken by the reseller. These amounts are included in the determination of net sales. Cooperative advertising: Under these arrangements, the Company will agree to reimburse the reseller for a portion of the costs incurred by the reseller to advertise and promote certain of the Company’s products. The Company estimates, accrues and recognizes the cost of cooperative advertising programs in the period in which the advertising and promotional activity first takes place. The costs of these incentives are included in advertising expense. |
SHIPPING AND HANDLING FEES AND COSTS | Revenue earned from shipping and handling fees is reflected in net sales. Costs associated with shipping product to customers aggregating approximately $1,506,000 and $1,352,000 for the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, is included in selling and administrative expenses. |
CONCENTRATION OF RISK | Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits at financial institutions and brokerage firms. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to certain limits. At October 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had approximately $1,539,429 and $220,422 in excess of FDIC insured limits, respectively. The accounts at the brokerage firm contain cash and securities. Balances are insured up to $500,000, with a limit of $100,000 for cash, by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). At October 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had approximately $348,041 and $2,818,431 in excess of SIPC insured limits, respectively. See Note 10 for concentration of risks with respect to trade receivables and purchases from accounts payable vendors. |
OPERATING LEASES | The Company has operating lease agreements for its corporate office and warehouses, some of which contain provisions for future rent increases or periods in which rent payments are abated. Operating leases which provide for lease payments that vary materially from the straight-line basis are adjusted for financial accounting purposes to reflect rental income or expense on the straight-line basis in accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by the FASB. The excess of straight-line rent over actual payments by the Company of $231,216 and $222,055 is included as deferred rent payable as of October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. |
EQUITY METHOD OF ACCOUNTING | Investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an Investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the Investee company’s board of directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the Investee company. Under the equity method of accounting, an Investee company’s accounts are not reflected within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income; however, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the Investee company is reflected in the caption “Loss from equity method investments” in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company’s carrying value in an equity method Investee company is reflected in the caption “Equity method investments” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s investment in a company that is accounted for on the equity method of accounting consist of the following: (1) 20% interest in Healthwise Gourmet Coffees, LLC, a distributor of low acidity coffees. The investments in this company amounted to $100,000. The loss recognized amounted to $972 and $833 for the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The net value of this investment as presented on our consolidated balance sheet at October 31, 2016 and 2015 was $95,598 and $96,571, respectively. |
