Our Sustainability

At Quarter Horse Coffee, we have always sought after environmentally friendly alternatives and materials, but we wanted to take it a step further by making all of our packaging either fully biodegradable or recyclable at home.

Green Coffee Production

We're making strides to ensure we're roasting coffee in a sustainable and responsible manner.

Eco-Friendly Vortx

Our 'afterburner' uses a high efficiency cyclone and the power of atomised water to capture almost half the CO2 and greatly reduce the amount of smoke, VOCs & particulates produced as a result of roasting.

Stronghold S9X Roaster

All our filter coffees are roasted on our new 100% all-electric, shorter pre-heat roaster, dramatically reducing our reliance on natural gas in our productivity.

✪ First in the UK

Solar Powered

We have installed solar panels on our new production site in the Jewellery Quarter. The power generated offsets some of the power required to roast on the Stronghold and run the building.
