Crop To Cup Coffee Importers

Crop to Cup Coffee Importers was founded in 2006 to support smallholder farmers in Uganda who were interested in producing for specialty. Since then we have grown to represent 140 communities across 15 countries to the North American specialty coffee community. 


Our main office, QC lab and importing showroom is in Brooklyn, NY - with a staff of eight. We also have a satellite office + Lab in Chicago, IL - with a staff of two.  We specialize in representing smallholder communities from motivated producers in underrepresented producing regions across the coffee belt.  Visit our website (croptocup.com) or instagram (@croptocup) for more. 

We also have a sister ecommerce business (showroomcoffee.com) which is a resource for micro, nano and home roasters. In 2017 we created a sub brand called Arc Roasters, which markets professional tools for coffee labs.  Arc Roasters are sold in 22 countries across the world.
