ABOUT US
©Diana Starovoytova
Who are we?
We are Carmen, François, Maria, Rocio, Mehdi, Ana and Blanca. We like good and simple things like good coffee, good wine, good food, good music, good company,…without artifice or unnecessary luxuries. François and Carmen started this project in Barcelona in 2015 after having lived in France, England and Poland.
What is specialty coffee and how do we work with it?
The specialty coffee sector is more respectful with the producer since it pays more for the raw material than the coffee that is sold as a commodity in the market, but even so, coffee is an exotic product that generates an important carbon footprint due to its transportation.
For this reason we want to compensate this footprint by working very well on other aspects. One of them is providing information to people so that they are aware of all the actors involved in each coffee bean and the great effort behind each cup, so that the product is not trivialized and is given the appropriate value.
We have also worked to minimize the impact of packaging, on the one hand selling in bulk and on the other hand since 2018, our coffee is sold in 100% compostable packages. If you want to know more read our article on the Sustainability in coffee packaging blog.
In addition, we actively encourage customers to bring their own reusable cup with the campaign “Reuse because you can’t recycle the planet”.
Why SlowMov?
The name SlowMov is the fusion of Slow Movement, which reflects our idea that things can be done differently. We like the word movement because it is something that moves forward and changes but with cadence and respect for the time needed for each process.
We are specialty coffee roasters and our main business is the sale of coffee to the hotel and catering sector and to the end customer. We visit the producers in origin (Brazil, Ethiopia, Mexico,…), select the coffees and roast them in Barcelona. We try to maintain long term relationships with our coffee suppliers.
The coffee we sell varies according to the season and is grown according to our values of respect for the environment and although not all of them have paid to be certified organic, they are, as we know first hand that no chemicals are used during cultivation.
At the same time, we are distributors of coffee machinery and we elaborate the content of menus and develop recipes for coffee-based beverages for other establishments, in addition to providing training in the different disciplines of specialty coffee. We also help other businesses to offer more sustainable options in their menus by putting them in contact with our community of sustainable food producers.
