Meanwhile, cocoa prices recovered from Monday's slide.
Robusta coffee fell 1.9% to $3,850 a metric ton at 1311 GMT, having hit its lowest since mid-August at $3,832.
Arabica coffee fell 1.4% to $3.5535 per lb, having hit its lowest since Nov 21 at $3.5445.
Sales of Brazil's 2025/26 coffee crop had reached 69% of the expected output by December 10, consultancy Safras & Mercado said, up 7 percentage points from the previous month as US buying picks up slowly.
Brazil's coffee exports in early December fell just 5.1% from a year earlier after the US removed tariffs on coffee, a smaller decline when compared to the previous month's 25.6% fall when tariffs were still in effect, government data showed.
"We project (coffee) prices reaching $3.60/lb in 3 months. While inventories have been declining, removal of the US tariffs on coffee from Brazil and Vietnam would ease the market significantly," said Citi in a note.
The bank added that the postponement of the EU's anti-deforestation law (EUDR) for another year, a relatively good Brazil crop and a bumper Vietnamese crop should also pressure prices.
Meanwhile, New York cocoa rose 1.1% to $5,940 a metric ton, recovering after Monday's 5.6% slide.
London cocoa rose 2% to 4,319 pounds a ton, having closed down closed down 7% on Monday.
After scaling five-week highs last week, dealers said cocoa is coming under pressure thanks to improved arrivals at ports in top grower Ivory Coast and in No. 3 grower Ecuador.
Broker StoneX cited data showing Ecuador's November cocoa bean and product exports totalled a record 76,523 tons.
