Sustainability News and Events

Building a sustainable business is a key part of Counter Culture Coffee’s mission. We strive to be leaders in sustainable coffee and we work hard to combine our commitment to buying high-quality coffee with respect for the natural environment. Welcome to Counter Culture Coffee's Sustainability News and Events section, where you’ll find updates about our various sustainability projects. Some of these projects, such as our ongoing effort to reduce car commuting miles, are internal to Counter Culture Coffee, while others involve our partners at origin, customers, friends, and communities. Please come back often, and write to us at questions@counterculturecoffee.com if you have any questions or comments.

We also invite your subscribe to our enewsletter for Sustainability updates!

Counter Culture's Sustainability Committee Recycles Old Metal

Photo by Counter Culture Coffee.Our three-man Technical Services department performs myriad functions here at Counter Culture Coffee, from repairing fussy brewing equipment to exploring new developments in the world of coffee technology. New technology presents a sustainability dilemma: on one hand, our commitment to quality drives us to seek out new ways to present the coffee lover with the best possible taste experience, while, on the other, we hate to contribute to the manufacture of more and more coffee brewers without finding a home for the ones we replace.
