The story of Paahteen:
How two engineers wanted to make the coffee sector more responsible
Two engineers, Mika and Atte, have known each other since childhood. They shared a passion - coffee. They were fascinated by coffee-making methods and different types of equipment. They also learned about roasting coffee and wanted to start roasting beans themselves. After learning about different roasting methods, they discovered that the roasting methods were very old-fashioned, batch-specific and mainly gas-fired. The engineers' hearts started beating in unison, they wanted to develop a modern and emission-free roasting method.
They started experimenting with different methods of roasting coffee and spent countless hours researching, testing and tweaking their ideas until they finally succeeded in creating an innovative new solution for responsible coffee roasting. This innovation was able to produce small to large capacity coffee for commercial use and best of all, the roasting process was completely gas-free. This innovation allowed a reduction in emissions of almost 90% compared to traditional roasting methods.
The engineers were excited about the technology they had developed, which not only produced delicious coffee but also had a positive impact on the environment. Mika and Atte decided to set up a responsible coffee roasting company and bring sustainable roasting technology to the market. Their goal is to make a significant impact on the coffee industry and promote sustainable practices. They are not just looking for business success, but to genuinely help coffee roasters improve the taste and quality of their coffee, while reducing the environmental impact of roasting.
We draw from
Sustainability is the foundation of our entire operation . We use high quality and ethically produced raw materials and our carbon neutral roasting technology has the lowest emissions in the coffee industry.
We want to promote responsible development in the coffee sector by supporting other players in the industry and showing that coffee has a place in the future. The whole idea behind our business is to produce responsible coffee that allows companies to reduce their emissions and enjoy quality and tasty coffee at the same time! If anything, it's responsible!
At Paahte, we believe that quality and responsibility are not mutually exclusive. We believe that by investing in both the quality of the roasting process and the quality of the raw materials, we can ensure an optimal end result.
So we don't compromise on quality at any stage of our processes. We have optimised our processes so that quality and responsibility go hand in hand without one suffering for the other!
Many companies talk about sustainability without any proof or evidence of it. At Paahte, we don't do this. We strive for transparency in all aspects of our business.
For example, we communicated transparently about our technology and its impact on emissions on our technology page. We also communicate openly and transparently with our customers about how much their emissions are reduced with Paahte - with supporting documents and calculations!
Coffee is always, above all, a pleasure. This is also what we strive to offer our customers. In everything we do, we always strive to maximise customer satisfaction: in coffee, in communication and in everything else.
At Paahte, we are here to serve you, just for you!
