What Is a Micro Lot in Specialty Coffee?

Over time, many terms have been created and adapted to meet the needs and expectations of the specialty coffee industry. One of these terms is micro lot, which is used by many members of the coffee industry to refer to small, exclusive, and traceable lots of coffee. However, there’s still some confusion as to what exactly defines the term.

For a micro lot to have value for everyone in the coffee supply chain, the term needs to have a definition that everyone agrees on. However, opinions on what a micro lot is tend to differ from person to person. Here’s why there’s so much confusion, and how producers, roasters, and traders can use the term responsibly.

A select volume of coffee from a small farm lot can be labelled as micro lot.

What Is a Micro Lot?

Micro lot has become a popular term amongst many third wave producers, buyers, and sellers. This wave is characterised by a recognition of the importance of sustainably produced, quality coffee that’s been processed with care and provides customers with a unique experience. For this reason, using the term micro lot can offer producers several benefits in theory. 

These days, consumers are increasingly requesting details on the altitude, climate, and processing methods involved in producing the coffee they drink. As these variables can vary within a region or farm, the micro lot label could help producers prove that their coffee is traceable and distinctive. 

Focusing on micro lots can also help producers ensure that their coffees are more carefully sorted and processed. Jolene Zehnder is Director of Sales and Operations at Novus Coffee Imports, a specialty green coffee supplier in Washington, USA. She says that by breaking up a larger lot into smaller lots, it will be easier for producers to differentiate between their coffees. This could help them identify smaller lots that are of higher quality, that could fetch higher prices per pound on average. However, she adds that this process can be complex and create more opportunity for mistakes.

In addition, the label could assist producers in facilitating long term relationships with buyers, as any feedback that the buyers provide on improving the coffee’s quality can be more easily implemented on a smaller lot. 

The benefits that producers enjoy from using the micro lot label can be passed to green coffee buyers. Traceable, distinct, and quality coffee usually fetches premium prices from roasters and the customers. However, a lack of clarity on what exactly a micro lot is could keep all members of the supply chain from benefiting from its use.

Cherries that are harvested and labelled as micro lots can benefit producers.

Why Do Multiple Definitions Exist?

It’s apparent that different people in the coffee supply chain have unique ideas of what a micro lot is – and that their definitions could involve different production volumes, cupping scores, lot and farm sizes, and prices per pound. Because there’s so little clarity on the definition of a micro lot, each member of the supply chain could have an entirely different understanding of what it means.

Steven Schreiber is the Co-Founder of Two Rivers Coffee in New York and says that a micro lot’s definition often “depends [on] who is selling it and how they want to market it. Different farms, brokers, and agents will all describe their offerings based on their understanding of the term. Many things also get lost in translation through language barriers and their need to make a living.”

For those trading coffee, the term is often used to distinguish a small volume of coffee that hasn’t been mixed with other lots. Peter Gakuo is a Quality Assurance Specialist based in Kenya and says that “this term is used by coffee dealers and traders. When they intend to sell some of the coffee in their stock lot, if a certain lot isn’t bulked with any other coffee, they refer to it as a micro lot, because it’s ‘pure’… But it’s not indicative of quality and it doesn’t have to be small. Micro means single in this case.” 

For producers, the term often describes a small lot of a single coffee variety that comes from one area and has been processed together. Dylan Cummings is Managing Director of Beaver Creek Coffee Estate in Port Edward, South Africa says it’s “the smallest divisible collection of coffee (unbulked). Same farm, plantation, day of harvest, cultivar, [and] process, processed together as one lot… Due to farm size, the quantity of coffee harvested in a single day, fermentation tank size, grading etc. this would typically be a small lot… This is arguably the definition of micro lot, any other use of the word is typically used as a marketing term. Micro lot is not a quality indicator.”

Coffees labelled as micro lot are often dried and processed separately from the rest.

Definitions of what a micro lot is can also differ from producer to producer. As a Green Coffee Buyer, Sam MacCuaig from Clifton Coffee Roasters in Bristol, UK has witnessed multiple definitions being employed. He says that while some producers use the term to describe all the coffee from a single lot, others use it to describe all the lots a washing station has processed on a certain day. He says that, “Ultimately, as with all things coffee, it seems very fluid and open to interpretation and/or marketing manipulation.”

Some producers use the term to market their coffee to roasters by using it to describe coffee that’s been carefully monitored throughout its production and processing stages – so that the final cup profile can be more controlled and repeatable. Often roasters won’t check to see why a coffee lot has been described this way or to verify the information accompanying it. They will then remarket it as micro lot, passing the coffee down the supply chain.

For some roasters, a micro lot could be defined according to how much coffee they’re capable of roasting in a single day or a select lot of coffee roasted in a single session, which could vary depending on the size of their operations. This often takes place when a roaster is trying to increase their profit margins – such as when they purchase a large lot of coffee, subdivide it into smaller lots, and remarket it as distinct lots.

Black Drum Roasters operate a roastery in New South Wales, Australia. According to their website, a micro lot can be associated with quality and small farmers who take good care of their crops. However, they explain that the term isn’t as simple as it sounds, as it doesn’t explain how big or small the lot is in terms of bags, whether it involves coffee from one farm or many, or whether the coffee has been processed where it’s grown or in a separate facility. They personally use the term to describe single origin coffee milled and washed in one batch, resulting in an individual selection with flavours that are characteristic of the region.

Different producers will have different definitions of what a micro lot of coffee actually is.

The Micro Lot Label in Other Industries 

Wine has been produced on a large scale from 6,000 B.C. and in 2019, global wine production reached an estimated 269 million hectolitres. In recent years, there’s been a return to small scale production of limited release, quality, artisanal wines as an alternative to mass-produced, homogeneous wines. These wines usually come from a select group of vines that grow on a particular estate that are differentiated, marketed, and sold differently. 

Often these wines are too time-consuming and costly to produce on a large scale. In addition, their smaller size of production allows producers to remain involved and in control of the process from vine to bottle, creating what some refer to as a micro lot wine. 

For example, the Cuvaison Winery in California’s Napa Valley produces a range of micro lot wines and describes them as “micro-production rarities [that] are an exploration in styles and winemaking techniques.” Nottingham Cellars in Livermore, California work with vineyard partners that produce low yield, high-quality grapes to create a wine that reflects its origins. Their wines are then “fermented and aged in micro lots”. Verité Wines in Sonoma Country, California does something similar, by harvesting and fermenting each micro-cru (or micro vineyard) separately, before ageing it in various barrels of custom toasts.

Coffees labelled as micro lots are often sampled and cupped before sale.

As time passes, the practice of defining certain specialty products using the term micro lot could expand to other industries. For example, the term has been adopted by the fine cacao and bean-to-bar sector. The term’s adoption could be due to rising consumer demand for single origin chocolates that are traceable and have been produced in their country of origin. 

Some of those fine cacao chocolate products have been differentiated according to their characteristics (such as the cacao’s variety or flavour profile) or value addition (how the cacao has been produced and documented). For example, a micro lot of cacao beans might be fermented in different ways or combined with additives to create a craft chocolate bar.

For example, Meridian Cacao Company, a direct trade cacao supplier based in Portland, Oregon, has undertaken a Trinidad Microlot Project consisting of several estates that each produce cacao with different flavour profiles. Their La Reunion Estate produces cacao with tasting notes of s’mores and passion fruit, while cacao from their Ramnath Estate boasts tasting notes of pineapple, hazelnut, and tobacco. 

The Amazing Cacao Company from St Petersburg, Russia, produces a bean-to-bar chocolate range. It includes premium dark chocolate manufactured with Kemito Ene Micro Lot cacao beans from a Perivuan cacao variety. Ingemann Fine Cocoa, a fine cacao supplier based in Nicaragua, also offers buyers cacao with distinct flavour profiles. For example, their Nugu Micro Lot has flavours of roses, jasmine, herbs, vanilla, and yoghurt.

Many coffees are differentiated and marketed uniquely as micro lots.

Using The Term Responsibly 

The coffee supply chain is vast and involves millions of producers, roasters, and traders, which means that narrowing down a single universal definition of what a micro lot is will be difficult – and not always possible in certain circumstances. 

For example, a green coffee buyer who associates the term with quality may expect the producer who’s supplying them with a micro lot to provide them with a high scoring coffee. However, the producer might be describing their coffee as a micro lot because it’s traceable and accompanied by detailed processing and production information. In this situation, both parties will be disappointed, as the coffee might not fetch as high a price as anticipated for both the producer and the buyer. 

Justin Dena is the Chief Operating Officer at iFinca, a business that has created an application that tracks and verifies all purchases made in the coffee supply chain from farmer to consumer. He acknowledges that a lack of clarity exists when it comes to defining a micro lot as it’s “a living term that continues to evolve with new technologies and different ways to connect with producers.” 

He suggests that with new technologies “micro lot traceability and transparency can be accessed on every lot of coffee and more detailed information [can be] added to every micro lot. This new connectivity will help to differentiate coffee products and continue the evolution of the industry.” 

While the introduction of new technologies such as blockchain could make it easier for coffee supply chain members to transparently record and trace information accompanying a coffee lot – it won’t be enough to address the issues caused by a lack of clarity on what the term micro lot means. As other industries (such as cacao) continue to adopt the term, the term will continue to be adapted and used. And as the specialty coffee industry continues to grow, the term will keep being adapted by those who stand to benefit from it.

Cupping can help determine whether a micro lot meets quality expectations.

Until the term micro lot becomes regulated, it’s meaning will continue to change according to the person using it. 

For the term to be more valuable for those who use it, an accessible and common industry definition needs to be developed. This would include specific details such as the weight and size of the lot in question.

Neil Oney is the Green Coffee Quality Specialist at Novus Coffee Imports. He suggests that “Ideally, there would be some sort of clarifying term to go with it: 100 bag micro lot, 10 bag micro lot, single estate micro lot, elevation separation micro lot, single variety micro lot, etc.”

When this happens, the next question that will need addressing is whether or not the term will be primarily associated with quality, size, or traceability. Once this has been decided, much of the uncertainty surrounding the term should disappear.

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., Nov. 13, 2017 — The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science announced 55 projects with high potential for accelerating discovery through its Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program. The projects will share 5.95 billion core-hours on three of America’s most powerful supercomputers dedicated to capability-limited open science and support a broad range of large-scale research campaigns from infectious disease treatment to next-generation materials development.

These awards allocate the multi-petascale computing resources of two DOE Leadership Computing Facilities at Argonne and Oak Ridge National Laboratories. The two centers jointly manage theINCITE program as is the primary means of accessing their resources.

INCITE proposals are awarded on a competitive basis to researchers from academia, government research facilities, and industry. The average award is more than 108.1 million core-hours—with some awards of up to several hundred million core-hours—on systems capable of quadrillions of calculations per second.

INCITE program gives researchers access to computational resources to ambitiously address some of the world’s most formidable scientific research problems,” said James Hack, director of the National Center for Computational Sciences (NCCS), home to the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF), a DOE Office of Science User Facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. “These scientific projects would not be possible without access to DOE leadership computing resources, and we’re gratified to be able to partner with these outstanding research teams to enable fundamental advances in our understanding of the amazing world in which we live.”

Domain scientists and computational scientists at the leadership centers partner with each INCITEproject, aiding in code and methods development, optimization, streamlining workflow, troubleshooting unforeseen problems, and assisting with data analysis and visualization.

“Researchers seek out the INCITE program to support their research through access to three of the world’s fastest supercomputers, but our facilities also provide significant staff expertise and support to help them achieve their goals,” said Michael E. Papka, director of the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF), a DOE Office of Science User Facility just outside Chicago. “This support helps ensure investigators can maximize their time on our leading-edge systems.”

The ALCF’s Mira supercomputer is a 10-petaflops IBM Blue Gene/Q system with 49,152 compute nodes and a power-efficient architecture. ALCF’s Theta is a 9.65-petaflops Cray XC40 system based on the second-generation Intel Xeon Phi processor. The OLCF’s Titan supercomputer is a 27-petaflops Cray XK7 hybrid system employing both CPUs and energy-efficient, high-performance GPUs in its 18,688 compute nodes.

Despite continued upgrades, expansions, and advances in computing power, demand for leadership-class resources such as Mira, Theta and Titan continues to exceed availability, and, once again, more applications for time were made to INCITE than were awarded.

For a complete list of 2018 INCITE awards, please visit:

Highlights of the 2018 allocations include:

Brant Robertson from the University of California Santa Cruz received 46 million core-hours to understand the role galactic-scale winds play in the formation and evolution of galaxies.

Rommie Amaro from the University of California San Diego received 80 million core-hours to investigate the druggability and transmissibility of pandemic and seasonal influenza. These simulations, the largest of their kind, will unlock new clues to flu infection and potential treatment.

Michael Sprague from DOE’s National Renewal Energy Laboratory received 115 million core-hours to create new predictive simulation capabilities that will lower the cost of wind energy by providing new understanding and new pathways to optimized wind farms.

Vasily Bulatov from DOE’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory received 110 million core-hours for large-scale molecular dynamics simulations that will increase understanding of the strength of construction materials by understanding both the microscopic origin of strain hardening and the nature and geometric character of dislocation patterns.

Sean Dettrick from TAE Technologies received 31 million core-hours for simulations in understanding the magnetic confinement of plasmas with the goal of creating a clean, commercially viable, fusion-based electricity generator.

Konstantinos Orginos from the College of William & Mary received 155 million core-hours to study the structure of hadrons that will allow, for the first time, a complete 3D image of the hadron using the fundamental theory known as Quantum Chromodynamics.

The INCITE program promotes transformational advances in science and technology through large allocations of time on state-of-the-art supercomputers. For more information, please visit:http://ift.tt/1QeJRkvincite-program/.

<p>11 powerful photos to remind Trump just how horrific nuclear war truly is.</p>

[ad_1]

Dozens of demonstrators gathered exterior California's Lawrence Livermore Nationwide Laboratory on Aug. 9, 2017.

The facility is applied for nuclear weapons exploration.

The extremely exact same August day 72 many years ago, the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan.

The blast arrived just three days soon after the U.S. dropped the bomb on Hiroshima.

At the time a bustling town, Nagasaki was reworked into rubble and ash. Image by Hulton Archive/Getty Illustrations or photos.

The victims of the two assaults, which prompted the bloody and devastating stop of Planet War II, still are living in the memories of the protesters in Livermore.

“We are in this article to stand with the survivors of that nuclear assault, but we are also in this article to end the subsequent nuclear war just before it starts,” demonstrator Marylia Kelley told SF Gate.

Demonstrators stage a "die-in" to remind the general public of the lives dropped in nuclear warfare. Image by Justin Sullivan/Getty Illustrations or photos.

Additional than seven many years have handed considering that the very first use of nuclear warfare without end modified our globe.

The protesters' information is simple: The horrific penalties of these weapons must hardly ever be forgotten.

Estimates vary, but it is typically believed that at minimum one hundred fifty,000 folks in Hiroshima and seventy five,000 folks in Nagasaki ended up killed in the blasts.

All those figures don't rely the 1000's additional who died of illnesses related to radiation exposure in the months and many years that adopted.

Over and above the cost of human existence, the physical destruction of both of those metropolitan areas was unprecedented.

About 92% of Hiroshima's constructions ended up possibly ruined or damaged in the blast, according to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

Bustling metropolitan spots turned decimated wastelands.

The black-and-white pics may be relics, but their tales — and the classes we must study from them — are just as applicable as ever.

The 72-year mark of the assault on Nagasaki arrives amid increasing tensions involving the U.S. and North Korea.

North Korea's chief, Kim Jong-un. Image by STR/AFP/Getty Illustrations or photos.

North Korea's growing nuclear weapons system has sparked renewed fears between its neighbors and leaders in Washington that the region poses a threat to its East Asian adversaries — and probably the U.S.

On Aug. eleven, President Trump needlessly escalated tensions when he tweeted that the U.S. army is "locked and loaded" for fight in opposition to North Korea.

Military services answers are now totally in position,locked and loaded,must North Korea act unwisely. Ideally Kim Jong Un will locate yet another route!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August eleven, 2017

The tweet arrived days soon after he warned North Korea's chief, Kim Jong-un, that if the region proceeds producing further threats in opposition to the U.S., "they will be fulfilled with fire and fury like the globe has hardly ever witnessed."

Trump's provocative language did absolutely nothing to calm tensions, of training course. Kim promptly answered the president's threat with a threat of his personal: a missile assault on the U.S. territory of Guam.

The contentious circumstance gave protesters at the Livermore lab a renewed feeling of urgency to discuss out boldly in opposition to the use of nuclear weapons.

“Trump’s statements are pushing us nearer to the brink of a nuclear war,” mentioned demonstrator Scott Yundt. The protest at Livermore is an once-a-year function that Yundt has been attending for twelve many years. But this year, he told SF Gate, feels various.

Image by Justin Sullivan/Getty Illustrations or photos.

“There’s a palpable and unique dread we are all sensation these days," Yundt pointed out. "Conflict with North Korea and the United States is possible."

Image by Justin Sullivan/Getty Illustrations or photos.

"I be concerned our president will press the nuclear button with out the consent of the American folks," Yundt mentioned.

That's a large explanation why demonstrators took to the streets this 7 days.

Image by Justin Sullivan/Getty Illustrations or photos.

According to law enforcement, forty eight demonstrators ended up arrested for trespassing during the tranquil protest, Patch described. They ended up issued citations and introduced.

The anxieties exhibited by demonstrators are kinds shared by lots of People in america as a bombastic, limited-tempered president qualified prospects an administration with no unified approach on smoothing an very sophisticated circumstance with North Korea.

"Just considering about it despairs me," mentioned demonstrator Barbara Milazzo.

Image courtesy of the Nationwide Archives/Newsmakers.

Even now, People in america should not experience as though war is imminent.

The circumstance is a critical just one, experts have around-unanimously concluded. But judging by a multitude of elements — including the messaging coming out of North Korea and the country's present capabilities — we are not on the brink of war (nonetheless).

It still assists, having said that, to don't forget these dropped 72 many years ago and allow their memories encourage us to discuss up for peace as loudly as we can.

“This is the most we can do,” Milazzo pointed out. “We are applying our voices to protest."

We Are Here To Help Part - III

Has it become more and more difficult for your loved one to live alone, without a form of assistance? Bethany Home is here to help!

Sometimes on the road of life, people get to a place where they are no longer able to live on their own. For over 20 years, Bethany Home has been helping seniors that are no longer able to live by themselves through providing high-quality assisted living services in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.

With experience in caring for own elderly loved ones, such as our parents and grandparents, we here at Bethany understand the difficulty in finding the right care for your aging family member. Our home-like environment provides a smooth transition from individual living to intuitive assisted living and care.

Let us worry about your loved one's day-to-day needs so you can focus on spending quality time together, building lasting memories!

Assisted Living versus Board and Care Homes

Bethany Home is a state-licensed Elderly Assisted Living Facility. As the elderly care industry has many names and categories under which our services fall, here is a brief overview so that you understand what Bethany Homes can provide for your loved-one.

The main difference between an Assisted Living Community and a Board and Care Home or Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) is most often their size. Assisted Living Facilities tend to be larger and Board and Care Homes are usually smaller, providing care for usually 6 residents, in a non-institutional, residential home setting. Although both Assisted Living and Board and Care Homes provide the same assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), residents in the smaller Board and Care Homes benefit from having better staff-to-resident ratios than larger facilities. As a result, it is usual for the elderly to move from a larger Assisted Living environment to a smaller board and care home as their care level increases and they need more personal attention and assistance with activities of daily living.

So where does Bethany Homes fit in? Although Bethany Homes is an assisted living community, it is made up of smaller board and care home locations located throughout Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Each location is a residential care home specifically designed to meet the needs of the elderly, without the feel of a large institutional setting. As a result, each of our residents benefit from the resources of a larger Assisted Living Community but also the attention to detail and familiarity that comes with each smaller location.

We Are Here To Help Part - II

Bethany Home is a wonderful place for your loved one. They take the time to listen and always display a very caring and attentive attitude towards residents and their families!

Liz J.

My sister and I believe our aging mother receives the most loving and compassionate care that she could possibly receive anywhere at her Bethany Home residence. We were fortunate to find such a wonderful facility and staff. We know she's in good hands, which puts our minds at ease.

Kathleen J.

My family and I are so pleased to know that our mother is well cared-for and safe at Bethany Home. The owners and caregivers show genuine concern for the residents and get to know them well. The home is always very clean, and attention is given to serving fresh foods. My mother especially likes the activities. I highly recommend Bethany Home for their individualized care.

Linda L.

I had tried homes from hospital-like settings to very plush atmospheres. None gave my brother the personal care that Bethany Home gives him. When I first walked in to the house, it smelled clean, with the smell of fresh, homemade food. I was immediately greeted with a big smile from the caregivers. Meeting the management was delightful and validated the feeling of “home away from home” that I had when I first walked in. I’m a firm believer that an Angel was looking over my brother and me when I found Bethany Home.

Mitra K.

We are grateful for your help in so quickly arranging things so that Dad could move in on very short notice. We are also grateful for the excellent and professional care provided for our father there. After Dad entered hospice care, the staff members were his most dedicated advocates, working with the hospice folks to make sure that Dad was comfortable and pain-free. That mattered a great deal to my family, and we are grateful. Bethany Home is a pleasant and cheerful place, and the staff sees to nice touches like cutting some of the beautiful roses so that there are pretty and fragrant flowers in the house. I would recommend Bethany Home without reservation.

Jill Y.

I shall be forever grateful for the loving care my father received at Bethany Home Care. It was a most difficult time but the love the caregivers showed my father was truly exceptional. My father’s needs were many and at times complex. The caregivers were extremely kind, gentle and attentive. Bethany felt like family. Their priority was for my father’s comfort and dignity and their guidance and support to me was wonderful. I felt a great sense of relief knowing he was so beautifully taken care of and blessed that his final months were spent at Bethany.

Homes For The Elderly Livermore Ca Part - I

OUR APPROACH

At Bethany Homes, we realize each of our residents has unique needs and wishes. Our RELATIONSHIP-BASED CARE PROGRAM ensures that a familiar staff member is always on hand to assist every resident and ensure that they are exceedingly satisfied with their quality of life at our facility.

Whether you are looking for an assisted living board and care, or Alzheimer’s and dementia care home, we are confident that we can provide the care and love your family member needs.

Bethany Home is a state-licensed Elderly Assisted Living Facility. As the elderly care industry has many names and categories under which our services fall, here is a brief overview so that you understand what Bethany Homes can provide for your loved-one.

The main difference between an Assisted Living Community and a Board and Care Home or Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) is most often their size. Assisted Living Facilities tend to be larger and Board and Care Homes are usually smaller, providing care for usually 6 residents, in a non-institutional, residential home setting. Although both Assisted Living and Board and Care Homes provide the same assistance with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), residents in the smaller Board and Care Homes benefit from having better staff-to-resident ratios than larger facilities. As a result, it is usual for the elderly to move from a larger Assisted Living environment to a smaller board and care home as their care level increases and they need more personal attention and assistance with activities of daily living.

So where does Bethany Homes fit in? Although Bethany Homes is an assisted living community, it is made up of smaller board and care home locations located throughout Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Each location is a residential care home specifically designed to meet the needs of the elderly, without the feel of a large institutional setting. As a result, each of our residents benefit from the resources of a larger Assisted Living Community but also the attention to detail and familiarity that comes with each smaller location.

Our Story

Bethany Home started over 20 years ago, when we began caring for our own elderly parents and grandparents. We provide this same loving and familial care to every individual that makes Bethany their home.

We know how difficult it is to choose the right care or assisted-living home, and this is why we do all that we can to make each resident feel as secure and loved as they deserve.
