Water plays a vital role at every stage of the coffee supply chain, yet it’s often overlooked in conversations about quality and sustainability.
Our ‘Water in Coffee’ Discussion Panels have seen success in uniting voices from the coffee industry who are passionate about sustainability and innovation. With a group of individuals from diverse backgrounds and perspectives, these conversations offer a refreshing space to explore the importance of water in coffee.
As announced in our 2025 Impact Report, Project Waterfall aims to engage the coffee industry as a vehicle for positive change, to transform lives in coffee-growing regions. With this goal, we are entertaining conversations with coffee professionals about our responsibility towards sustainably interacting with resources at origin.
With generous support from AQUAPHOR UK Professional, Project Waterfall will host our next ‘Water in Coffee’ panel event on 19th March at Caravan, Covent Garden, 6-9pm.
