Why Our Roasting Process is Better for the Environment

At His Word Coffee, we’re not just passionate about making great-tasting coffee—we’re also committed to doing it in a way that’s better for the planet. One of the ways we stand out from traditional coffee roasters is by using fluid bed roasting technology, which is not only great for producing a cleaner, smoother coffee, but also comes with significant environmental benefits.

Traditional Roasting vs. Fluid Bed Roasting

Most traditional coffee roasters rely on gas-powered drum roasters, which generate heat by burning natural gas or propane. While this method has been used for years, it has some serious drawbacks for the environment. Every roast releases carbon dioxide and other pollutants into the air, contributing to climate change and air quality issues.

In contrast, fluid bed roasting uses electricity as its power source. Instead of burning fuel to heat the beans, hot air is circulated around the beans to achieve an even roast. This makes the process much cleaner—no gas fumes or exhaust, just pure, hot air doing its job.

Powered by Renewable Energy

One of the key reasons we chose fluid bed roasting is its compatibility with clean energy sources. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we’re fortunate to have access to abundant renewable energy, including hydropower, wind, and solar. By using electricity rather than fossil fuels, we can roast our coffee with a much lower environmental impact, tapping into these sustainable power sources to ensure that our process aligns with our values of stewardship and care for the planet.

Reducing Our Carbon Footprint

When you choose His Word Coffee, you’re not just getting a great cup of coffee—you’re supporting a roasting method that actively reduces carbon emissions. The energy efficiency of fluid bed roasting, combined with the use of electricity, means we’re contributing far less to greenhouse gas emissions than traditional roasting operations.

By cutting out the need for fossil fuels, we’re doing our part to make coffee roasting cleaner and greener. It’s a small but important step toward reducing the environmental impact of your daily coffee ritual.

Roasting for a Better Future

Our commitment to environmentally responsible roasting doesn’t stop with fluid bed technology. We’re continually looking for ways to reduce our footprint even further, from sustainable sourcing of our beans to eco-friendly packaging. Our goal is to provide you with a coffee experience that not only tastes great but also reflects a deeper commitment to caring for the environment.

So, the next time you brew a cup of His Word Coffee, you can feel good knowing that you’re not just enjoying a superior roast—you’re also making a positive choice for the planet.
