We're so excited to be working with your festival this summer. If you are on team then we can't wait to meet you. Hopefully there will be some useful information on this page to equip you for your cafe role.
At CLO cafes we want to ensure that our guests have a great coffee experience. The mission of serving coffee got lost to being a way to satisfy thirst and give fuel. We want to make sure that every coffee served is an opportunity to stir conversation and connection. Let's reclaim the cup of coffee as a sacred moment that brings our guests time and connection with others.
Cafe highlights
espresso
CLO coffee is hand roasted by Linda and Hannah in Leeds. The espresso blend is certified Fairtrade and called Solomon's Porch. This features a blend of different specialty coffees. One coffee is grown in Honduras by an all female cooperative, founded by eight women to strengthen the presence of female producers in the area
Eco cups
The CLO paper cups are completely recyclable AND home compostable. Basically the lining on the paper cups and lids is just a durable paper (fully pulpable!). We're really proud of this and can make us all feel better using a single use cup.
Equipment
The espresso machines we are using at all festivals are Nuova Simonelli. High quality machines make the life of the barista easier and this make of machines have been used in the World Barista Championships.
Non-Dairy
We are supplying Kokoa Hot Chocolate powder which is certified vegan. The vanilly frappe powder is also certified vegan.
This means that we can serve the hot chocolate or frappes with a choice of milk alternatives (Oat or Soya).
Brewtique
We are serving up some really delicious filter or 'Batch brew' coffee in the cafes. In some cafes where we don't have espresso machines we will only be serving filter coffees. Filter coffee, when brewed with good coffee and the right volume of coffee, can taste incredible. We are wanting to serve up a choice of different single origins (if customers can't decide - they are all nice!). And we are also modelling a perfect setup for chuches to take back and serve in their communities.
Coffee Farms
All our coffees are ethically sourced, but one of our coffees from Uganda is the most meaningful relationship we have with coffee farmers. You can watch our mini-series for how we work with the farmers in Uganda on our YouTube Channel
Syrups
Our chosen syrups brand is an independent company called William Fox. Not only are these the tastiest we've tried, but also they are certified vegan and completely colourless (no nasties).
