Needmore Coffee Roasters is a woman-owned small-batch coffee roastery in Bloomington, Indiana dedicated to roasting organic, ethically sourced coffee from the finest small-scale farmers around the world.
1. Environmental Impact
Quality hospitality means we care for you and care for the earth. In other words, we treat Mother Nature like family. Cause she is. That’s why we only roast organic coffee, compost, and treat our environment with respect.
HELPING OUR NEIGHBORS
Being a good neighbor means taking care of your community. We donate used coffee grounds to local gardening groups and farmers to keep things growing. We also help fund the Comedor Children’s™ Lunch Program in Posoltega, Nicaragua, which is organized and run by Bloomington & Posoltega Sister Cities, and give in-kind donations to local non-profits.
2. Ethical Sourcing
Where coffee comes from matters. That’s why we ethically source our certified organic beans from farmers that love coffee as much as we do. We offer both direct trade and fair trade coffees. What does this mean for you?
DIRECT TRADE
We’ve built direct, collaborative relationships with farmers in Honduras and El Salvador to ensure environmental, economical, and social sustainability. Because coffee? It’s about relationships.
FAIR TRADE
We also buy beans from Fair Trade Certified™ coffee growers and cooperatives. This network helps farmers get better prices, keep their kids in school, and protect fragile ecosystems. It’s just one way Needmore Coffee puts our values into your coffee cup.
3. Small-Batch Roasting
Roasting turns the raw, green coffee beans into something that can be consumed. All our coffee is roasted on-site at Needmore Coffee Bar & Roastery. We only roast in small batches using our three-kilo gas drum roaster. Drum roasters offer a slower, more gentle roasting process which allows our roastmasters to more closely monitor the appearance and aroma of the beans during the process. We typically roast on Mondays and Wednesdays. Small batches also mean we avoid waste and always have the freshest coffee on hand. Visit our roasting page to learn more about our process.
