Eco-Friendly Coffee Tips for a Sustainable Sip

As a Fair Trade certified coffee company, we believe your daily cup of coffee shouldn’t just fuel your day; it should fuel positive change. If you're looking to make your coffee habit a little kinder to the planet, we’ve got you covered with these eco-friendly brewing tips.

1. Choose Fair Trade, Sustainably Sourced Coffee

Sustainability starts with what’s in your cup. Opt for Fair Trade certified coffee where every purchase supports farmers, fair wages, and ethical farming practices. By choosing sustainably sourced beans, you’re brewing with a purpose.

2. Go Reusable

Consider using the French press brewing method to cut down on waste. If you do it right, you'll get a bold, flavorful cup every time.

3. Compost Coffee Grounds

Don't throw away those coffee grounds so quickly! Coffee grounds are rich in nutrients that your garden loves. Start a compost pile or sprinkle grounds around your plants to be used as a natural fertilizer, soil amendment, or mulch. It’s an easy way to close the loop on waste.

4. Embrace Energy-Efficient Brewing Methods

Brewing your coffee with an electric kettle or manual methods like a pour-over can save energy compared to traditional coffee makers.

5. Choose Eco-Friendly Accessories

From bamboo stirrers to biodegradable coffee cups, every little choice adds up. Small swaps can reduce plastic waste and keep your daily routine planet-positive.

6. Support Brands That Give Back

When you buy from Certified B Corporations that prioritize impact, you amplify your positive footprint. We do our part by contributing 5% of our profits to supporting youth programs across the U.S. because sustainability is about uplifting communities too.

Small Changes, Big Impact

Sustainability is about making mindful choices that add up to the larger picture. With every cup of BLK & Bold, you’re not just enjoying premium coffee, you’re making a difference. Cheers!
