The company frames its buying around sustainability at the producer level, which it defines as coffee farming that is economically profitable, environmentally conscious and socially inclusive. It describes its purchases as partnerships and collaborations, and it believes regional collaborations bring coffee quality to its highest potential.
Coffee Manufactory says that because it buys directly, 75% of the price it pays for green coffee goes back to the producer, and that the University of Michigan, SCS Global and MIT Solve have studied its sourcing strategy. It began in 2016 with 2 numbered blends, mixes of coffees from different sources, one for espresso and one for filter, made for Tartine Bakery. Its lion logo refers to a statue in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The company lists cafes at The Eden Hotel in Santa Monica and the Bay Shores Peninsula Hotel in Newport Beach, plus its flagship, Fanny's Cafe at the Academy of Motion Pictures museum in Los Angeles.
