Cascade Coffee has 65 million pounds of annual roasting capacity and produces more than 2.5 billion servings of coffee a year. The plant runs 6 roasting lines, 9 grinding systems, and 14 automated packaging lines, with capacity for 170 million bags and 215 million single-serve cups a year, plus storage for 2 million pounds of green coffee. That gives us room to take on large national programs and to grow with brands as their volumes increase.
Contract roasters generally handle a brand's green coffee in one of three ways, and Cascade offers all three. We can source and buy green coffee for you through our own supplier relationships, buy off contracts you already hold with importers, or roast green coffee you supply. Packaging works the same way: we can source it, or you can supply it. You can also mix the options, for example supplying a signature single origin while Cascade sources the coffee for your core blends. Whichever route you choose, our supply chain team plans purchasing around your production forecast.
Yes. Cascade's coffee manufacturing is 100% carbon neutral, and our plant runs on 100% renewable electricity through the Snohomish County PUD Carbon Solutions program. Emissions from our natural gas use are fully offset through Puget Sound Energy's Carbon Balance program, and a regenerative thermal oxidizer neutralizes 99% of the volatile organic compounds from roasting, turning them into water vapor and heat. Coffee chaff, the dried skin that comes off the bean during roasting, goes to local compost makers. Through our CoffeEco program, we're also researching packaging that's recyclable, compostable, or made from renewable materials.
No. Cascade Coffee doesn't market its own coffee brand and never will. We're one of very few roasters in the U.S. without a brand of our own, which means we never compete with the brands we make coffee for. Our focus stays on your product, from formulation and sourcing through roasting, packaging, and launch, and our teams work side by side with yours.
Cascade can add a wide range of functional ingredients to private-label coffee, and our formulation menu changes often. Current options fall into a few groups: vitamins such as B12 and D3, adaptogens and botanicals like ashwagandha and ginseng, functional mushrooms, collagen and protein, MCT and omega-3 oils, and focus ingredients like L-theanine. Any of these can be combined with liquid or dry flavoring, organic spices and powders, and extracts. If the ingredient you have in mind isn't on our menu, our innovation team will research and source it.
This is a hard question to answer with one number, because every coffee program Cascade makes is custom to the brand behind it. The coffee, the format, any flavors or functional ingredients, the packaging, and your forecast all shape what an order looks like, so a single-serve line comes together differently from retail bags or bulk. Cascade offers more than 25 package sizes from 2 ounces to 5 pounds, plus single-serve cartons in counts from 10 to 24 and up, which gives a lot of room to fit a program to your volume.
Cascade packs coffee in single-serve cups, frac and portion packs, four corner seal and rear fin seal retail bags, preformed block bottom bags, club packs, and bulk packaging up to 1,000-pound super sacks. We offer more than 25 package sizes from 2 ounces to 5 pounds, and single-serve cups in retail cartons of 10 to 24 counts and bulk packs of 30 to 100. These run on 14 automated packaging lines, including 4 single-serve cup lines, 2 frac pack lines, and 8 vertical form fill and seal lines. If you need a size we don't run yet, we can add it.
We love questions. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask us anything on your mind directly or via our contact form.
