Why Sustainability Matters to Mikko Coffee Roasters
As the world becomes more aware of the environmental and social impact of consumption, sustainability is no longer a luxury but a necessity. At Mikko Coffee, we believe that great coffee should be good for the planet and its people. From ethical sourcing to eco-friendly roasting, here’s how sustainability plays a core role in every step of our coffee production.
Sustainability in Action: DBarbosa Coffee
At Mikko Coffee, we pride ourselves on sourcing our beans from producers who share our commitment to sustainability. A prime example of this is our partner, DBarbosa Coffee, a family-run farm located in the Cerrado Mineiro region of Brazil. They have implemented various sustainable practices, from water conservation to eco-friendly farming techniques.
DBarbosa Coffee follows strict guidelines for reducing its environmental impact. The farm uses advanced technology to manage irrigation efficiently, ensuring that water resources are conserved, and they prioritize soil health through crop rotation and natural fertilizers. Additionally, the farm has implemented reforestation projects to maintain local biodiversity. Their approach aligns perfectly with our values of producing premium coffee while protecting the environment for future generations.
By choosing Mikko Coffee, you're supporting farms like DBarbosa that are leading the way in sustainable coffee production.
Sustainability and Innovation: The Loring Roaster
At Mikko Coffee, sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's woven into every step of our process, from sourcing beans to roasting them to perfection. A key part of our eco-friendly approach is our Loring roaster, a top-of-the-line machine designed to reduce our environmental impact while enhancing the quality of every batch.
The Loring roaster blends science and artistry to bring out the best flavors in our coffee, all while using up to 80% less energy compared to traditional roasters. By eliminating the need for an external afterburner, it dramatically reduces emissions, making it a sustainable choice for coffee roasting. Not only do we produce premium coffee with remarkable flavor, but we also do it with minimal environmental impact.
Our dedication to sustainability extends beyond the coffee itself, and the Loring roaster allows us to create exceptional coffee with care for both quality and the planet.
Sustainable Packaging: Compostable Bags, Recyclable Labels
After roasting, we ensure that our packaging aligns with our sustainability goals. Our coffee bags are fully compostable, and we use recyclable labels to further minimize waste. This allows us to reduce our environmental footprint while delivering the freshest coffee possible. We also encourage customers to bring reusable containers and offer incentives for eco-conscious decisions, ensuring that every cup of Mikko coffee contributes to a greener planet.

At Mikko, we understand that sustainability isn’t just a trend; it’s the future of coffee. By making environmentally responsible choices, we can provide our customers with coffee that not only tastes great but also supports the planet.
