About Us
More Than Just Coffee
We proudly save about 30,000 pounds of carbon emissions per year by roasting on one of the most eco-friendly roasters on the market today - the Bellwether electric roaster.
When you order from Anchor & Tree or join the Coffee Club, you are not only supporting a small, family-owned business, but you are also helping to reduce your carbon footprint, while drinking sustainable and fair-trade coffee from all over the world. Come in to our shop to experience the Collective - a community-oriented cafe where we stock products from dozens of local small businesses, artists, and makers.
What does zero-gas emissions mean?
Most coffee is roasted using natural gas, which is heavily carbon-intensive. In this method, natural gas is burned at the source and spews CO2 directly into the air. Our roaster runs purely on electricity, using an electric heating element which surrounds the roasting drum, achieving a more precise roast without using gas.
Because there is no smoke, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), or particulate exhaust, our roaster requires no additional ventilation or afterburner, thus considerably reducing the amount of energy required to power it. Plus, electric roasting produces a more flavorful cup of coffee with lower levels of acidity and more consistency. We strongly stand by our motto: Better Coffee, Better World!
