Coffee Bean Sourcing
Traceability back to Production
Coffee Cloud Ltd sources green coffee beans from a variety of origins. These origins have been selected on the basis of quality and flavour. All coffee produced can be traced through its Four-digit batch code system located on each individual bag from incoming raw materials through to dispatch. With this number we can identify where a potential problem is by checking raw materials used on this roasting date. The batch number is recorded on the roasting log with the corresponding lot numbers of the green beans used for that batch. By checking the lot numbers in the green bean book we can confirm such things as its moisture percentage, appearance, presence of foreign matter etc. Readings on the roasting log sheets, such as roasting times and temperature may be relevant .The coffee can be traced through the grinding sheet as well as the sampling sheets.

Coffee Cloud is proud to be taking part with our school customers with a new compost programme for their worm gardens. All their used coffee grounds are kept separately and added to their worm gardens to be turned into compost that helps teach kids to grow their own vegetables.
All our take away cups & lids are 100% compostable. These products are made from plants not oil.By composting your cups and lids the entire production begins and ends in the ground.
We are excited to be extending our community and environmental involvement to support the establishment in nation-wide composting and waste-reducing initiatives with our partner https://wecompost.co.nz.
How does composting work ?
Soils play a vital role in carbon sequestration and water retention - approximately 20% of global carbon is held in the soil. By composting, we are putting the biomass into soil back rather than just taking it away.
When organic waste breaks down in an anaerobic environment - like in landfill - a significantly higher proportion of methane gas is produced, then if it breaks down in an aerobic environment - like a compost pile, where mostly creates carbon dioxide. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is 23 times more damaging than carbon dioxide.
So, composting your food waste reduces the production of methane, whereas food waste in landfill can contribute greatly to the greenhouse effect and climate change.
Best of all, we can use organic waste to create a useful product that helps to grow more food!
ZooDoo
Our Roaster is proud to support the "Zoo Doo" initiative, and is committed to ensuring impact on the environment is minimal. The two main by-products of coffee roasting are chaff, which is the outer layer of the coffee bean, shed during roasting, and the empty coffee sacks.
Currently, all of the chaff produced by our roaster is being given to Auckland Zoo, where it is mixed to produce "Zoo Doo", a greatly nutritious compost for plants. This organisation involves taking the manure from the city zoo’s, saving rate payers thousands of dollars in dumping fees, and allowing the zoo to divert around 7 cubic metres of raw waste from landfill each week.
Like a cycle, our coffee production begins and ends in the ground.
