If we're talking emissions and coffee then another important aspect is the source / growing practices / distance travelled of the beans. Better labelling around these kind of aspects would better balance the current cafe decision matrix of blend / extraction type / roasting characteristics.
- dendrite9 3y agoI wonder if there's measurable benefit to reducing shipping weight by roasting closer to the source?
- somishere 3y agoI mean, if you're not shipping the weight of the water then how could there not be? Tho I guess it would come at the expense of local artisan roasteries ... Honestly though, I think conscientious / well regulated labeling can do a lot of heavy lifting when done correctly. Especially for highlighting what factors you should be considering, rather than those that are being promoted. Let market forces lead to "source-roasting" and other innovative improvements.
