– There are many quality coffee companies throughout the country. The issue with the majority of their roasting facilities, however, is that the machines used often release massive amounts of harmful emissions into the environment. This fact brings about the stark reality that the cost of coffee production too often involves compromising the health of the planet–along with the well-being of all of us who inhabit it.
– Taking this issue seriously, we at Wander Coffee have committed to only roasting our beans using environmentally conscious equipment. Our thermal oxidizer, in particular, is one of our favorite eco-friendly machines, as this advanced afterburner effectively destroys 95% of pollutants associated with coffee production (including VOCs and particulate matter). This machine, combined with our efficient drum roaster, allows us to confidently maintain clear air quality throughout all of our roasting processes.
– We invite you to make an appointment to visit our micro-roastery to check out this equipment–and our green standards–firsthand.
At Wander Coffee, we believe that every cup begins long before the roast—it begins at the source, with the farmers and communities who cultivate the beans. That’s why we’ve committed ourselves to ethical and socially sustainable sourcing practices, ensuring that our coffees not only taste exceptional, but also honor the people and places behind them. We partner with growers and importers who share our values of stewardship, transparency, and quality, building relationships that provide fair compensation and long-term stability for farming families. By prioritizing smallholder farms and cooperatives, we help create opportunities for sustainable livelihoods while encouraging environmentally responsible cultivation methods that preserve soil health and biodiversity. For us, sustainability isn’t a marketing term—it’s a promise to nurture a supply chain rooted in respect, fairness, and care, so that every sip of Wander Coffee reflects both craft and conscience.
Wander Coffee’s vision of sustainability extends far beyond the environment—it includes the local people and communities we touch. We believe that thriving local economies are an essential part of a truly sustainable coffee journey, which is why we dedicate a portion of our efforts and resources to uplifting the neighborhoods, groups, and events around us. We invest directly in community enrichment, supporting initiatives such as youth programs, education, and local nonprofits that share our values of fairness and stewardship. To us, every cup should not only taste good but also do good, creating a ripple effect of positive impact for the people we share this world with.
