CCR is adhering to all official recommendations and taking additional steps to ensure our team is healthy and able to continue their work.
We continue to plan our green coffee buying, which is a based on a fixed seasonal cycle. We are working to ensure we can fulfill your needs throughout the year, and we are also thinking about our producers who need our support.
Public health is extremely important to us, as well as that of all of the business owners, managers, staff and customers we work with, & It is our duty to help ensure the public safety of our customers and staff. In that regard, below is what we at CCR are doing to keep everyone safe, & some helpful information to make your space, and the people in it, safer.
Remember to wash hands frequently, avoid touching the face, and practice good general hygiene.

Specialty coffee relies on a global network of passionate professionals and we know that if we work together, we will be stronger as a community.
Remember, the best way to deal with this situation is to follow real, verifiable science and the CDC. There is a lot of misinformation out there right now. Stay diligent, healthy, support local businesses, and stay caffeinated.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth
Please cover your mouth and nose with your bent elbow or a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
Use alcohol wipes (60% or higher) to wipe down common use items, often handled directly with your hands.
Keep a minimum of 6 feet of distance between individuals to mitigate potential transmission
