Every morning, millions of people start their day with a cup of coffee. But what if that cup did more than just wake you up? What if it also supported small coffee-farming families, reduced waste, and inspired everyday acts of kindness? That’s exactly the mission behind Cambio Roasters, a coffee brand that’s revolutionizing the single-serve industry with sustainability, social impact, and community at its core.
A Cup That Gives Back
Cambio Roasters was founded with a simple but powerful idea: coffee should be better—for people and the planet. Unlike traditional K-Cups® that end up in landfills, Cambio’s pods are fully recyclable and designed with eco-conscious coffee lovers in mind. But their mission goes beyond sustainability. The company donates 20% of its profits to small-scale coffee farmers, ensuring that the hands that grow the beans are supported year-round.
For many customers, that impact is personal. Take Sarah Miller, a Cambio drinker who shared her story about discovering the brand while searching for an eco-friendly alternative to her morning brew. “I loved my Keurig, but I hated the waste. When I found Cambio, it felt like a no-brainer—delicious coffee, recyclable pods, and knowing my purchase actually helps farmers? That’s a win.”
Random Acts of Kindness, Powered by Coffee
This year, Cambio Roasters took its mission a step further with its Random Act of Kindness Week Campaign. From February 9-15, 2025, coffee lovers across the country were invited to perform a kind act, document it, and share it on social media for a chance to win a year’s supply of Cambio’s sustainably sourced coffee.
The results were nothing short of inspiring. Thousands of people joined the movement, from buying coffee for a stranger to leaving encouraging notes at their local cafés. One participant, James Carter, decided to buy a week’s worth of coffee for his office’s cleaning staff, a small gesture that deeply moved the recipients. “They work tirelessly and rarely get acknowledged. It felt amazing to do something simple that made their day better,” Carter shared.
Cambio Roasters’ CEO, Kevin Hartley, explains the heart behind the campaign: “At Cambio, we believe kindness is contagious—and what better way to celebrate Random Act of Kindness Week than by encouraging our community to make a difference? Through this campaign, we hope to inspire small but meaningful actions that make the world a better place, one cup at a time.”
Brewing a Better Future
Beyond campaigns like Random Act of Kindness Week, Cambio Roasters is making sustainability and social responsibility part of its daily business. Through partnerships with 4Ocean, Cambio helps remove plastic from the ocean, and by working with Food 4 Farmers, they support coffee-growing communities struggling with food insecurity.
For Cambio customers, this means every sip supports something bigger. Whether it’s choosing a coffee brand that gives back, participating in a kindness challenge, or simply recycling their coffee pods, small choices add up to real change.
The brand’s founder, Kevin Hartley, who spent nearly a decade at Keurig®, puts it best: “We started Cambio to prove that small, thoughtful choices—like the coffee we drink—can make a massive impact. Every Cambio pod is a reminder that together, we can change the world, one cup at a time.”
So, the next time you brew your morning coffee, ask yourself—what’s in your cup? If it’s Cambio, you’re sipping on more than just coffee—you’re brewing change.
