Coffee Lab International
Coffee Lab International (CLI) has been operating as an independent coffee testing & R&D facility since 1995. Founder Mané Alves has gathered an in-house team of coffee professionals who are all licensed Q graders & are well versed in evaluating coffee of all quality levels from around the world.
CLI works with customers from all segments of the coffee industry; from small coffee farmers, exporters, importers, micro-roasters and large commercial roasters, to multi-national retailers, c-stores, restaurant chains, and food service providers.
Our State-of-the-art Facilities
Coffee Lab International is housed in a custom designed coffee barn. Residing at the north end of the building, CLI has ample space for a wet lab, a dry lab, a dedicated sample roasting room and array of testing equipment. We share the coffee facility with our sister businesses; CLI's School of Coffee (the school & educational branch), a working coffee roastery called Vermont Artisan Coffee & Tea, Co., and it's Artisan Café.
