Metric Coffee

Chicago, Illinois

Metric Coffee has been serving the Chicago community since 2013.

Founders Xavier Alexander and Darko Arandjelovic are not just about brewing a great cup of coffee but also about advocating for a sustainable and profitable coffee community.

Their approach to coffee focuses on building solid and lasting relationships with producers they know and trust.

They pay better than average premiums and publish their prices — adding context in a way that supports a more sustainable trade.

They ensure ethical, sustainable production and champion quality and transparency.

Metric Coffee is committed to sustainability and social impact.

They are a certified B Corporation, a globally recognized stamp of approval for companies who are using their business as a force for good to address social and environmental problems.

They prioritize the health of the planet and those that depend on it for sustenance, including their supply chain partners, employees, and the community in which they live and work.
