Slow Forward: PRESSCO's Commitment to Sustainable Coffee Culture in Ethiopia
At PRESSCO Coffee Roasters, we believe that exceptional coffee can be a catalyst for positive change. Our latest collaboration, "Slow Forward," represents more than just a coffee offering—it's a testament to our dedication to building sustainable and equitable coffee communities.
Working directly with our partners in Lalesa, Gedeb, Ethiopia, we're proud to support a vision that places women at the forefront of specialty coffee production. This partnership goes beyond sourcing exceptional beans; it's about recognising and empowering the women who are driving innovation and change in Ethiopia's coffee industry.
The impact of this collaboration extends far beyond the cup. Every purchase of Slow Forward coffee contributes to tangible community development, including the establishment of a daycare center for farmers' children. This initiative enables more women to participate actively in coffee production while ensuring their children receive proper care and education.
We've implemented a timely compensation model that ensures farmers are paid promptly upon coffee delivery, addressing one of the industry's long-standing challenges. This approach reflects our commitment to fair business practices and sustainable partnerships that benefit entire communities.
Our roasting facility in Baia Mare carefully develops each batch of these Ethiopian beans, honouring both the coffee's exceptional quality and the hard work of our partners. The result is a coffee that tells a story of sustainability, equity, and conscious consumption.
Slow Forward invites coffee lovers to participate in a more mindful, sustainable approach to coffee. It's a reminder that our daily choices can create meaningful impact, one cup at a time. This collaboration embodies our vision of coffee as a force for positive change, supporting gender equity and sustainable farming practices in Ethiopia's specialty coffee sector.
Experience Slow Forward in our partner coffee shops or bring it home to someone special. Each cup represents a step toward a more equitable and sustainable coffee future.
