CARBON FOOTPRINT OF COFFEE
Coffee can fuel the climate crisis, if not done right
From growing coffee plants to grinding roasted coffee beans for brewing, a total of 250 g of CO2e is emitted per cup of black coffee. Farm-level activities, such as planting, growing, protecting, harvesting, drying, and grading, account for 85% of the total emissions created per cup of coffee. For a 12oz latte made with dairy milk, it will be 880 g of CO2e, while for a 12oz oat milk latte, it will be 430 g of CO2e.
