MISSION The Coffee Quality
Institute® is a nonprofit
organization working
internationally to improve
all aspects of the quality of
coffee and the lives of the
people who produce it.
Letter from the Chairman
We founded CQI in 1996 to improve the
quality of coffee through scientific study and
research. But just as we began our work, the
coffee industry experienced an international
crisis that included low prices and a lack of
high quality coffee available to the market.
Our mission evolved, and we developed programs that provide
direct technical support to growers and build a market
mechanism for trading quality coffees. CQI launched Coffee
Corps in 2003 and organized the Q Auctions in 2004. This
report describes these programs and thanks the contributors,
partners and volunteers who invested in our success.
Today, although coffee prices are improving, CQI’s work
remains critical. Coffee is the world’s number one agricultural
commodity, and worldwide provides the livelihood for more
than 25 million producers and their families and enhances the
lives of 800 million consumers.
I am privileged to lead CQI through this period of growth
and commitment, and to work with Board colleagues who
collectively have more than 400 years experience in the coffee
industry. We ask for your collaboration and support to achieve
our goals as we go forward.

Coffee Corps® is a unique private-publicpartnership working worldwide to providebusiness-to-business technical assistance to small-to-medium coffee farmers and enterprises. Begunin response to the coffee crisis, Coffee Corpsresponds to requests from coffee-producingcountries by matching them with volunteers, whodonate their time to help growers improveproduction methods, quality control processes ormarketing. The program was established in January2003 and by the end of 2004 had received over 100 requests for assistance. Men and women from27 countries have volunteered to participate in the program.
As of the end of 2004 over 60 volunteerscompleted assignments in more than 20 countries,and thousands of individuals in producingcountries have benefited. CQI thanks and salutesall those industry experts and their companies, forso generously volunteering more than 9,000 hoursof their time to help growers in origin countriesimprove the quality of their coffee and their lives.The volunteers are listed here with the companythey worked for at the time of their Coffee Corpsassignment.
When Coffee Corps needed an expert to lead a seminaron organic production methods in Guatemala, we turnedto Chuck Boerner, a 35-year industry veteran who runs a
30-acre organic farm on Maui. After visiting farms toobserve current farming methods, he shared best
practices for organic farming and outlined ways to raisehigher quality coffees, which claim higher prices. Boerner
says his volunteer experience was “rewarding beyondexpectations” and is proud of the direct impact his
assignment had on more than 200 Guatemalan farmers.

All CQI programs focus on quality. We believe that quality is the most important variable affecting the price of coffee and the livelihoods sustained by that price. We work from seed to cup, from quality separation at the mill level and right up through the steaming cup enjoyed by each consumer.

All CQI programs focus on quality. We believe that quality is the most important variable affecting the price of coffee and the livelihoods sustained by that price. We work from seed to cup, from quality separation at the mill level and right up through the steaming cup enjoyed by each consumer.

“The most effective way to improve the coffee industry is to work together as agroup to initiate positive change. The best example of this is the Coffee QualityInstitute.” —Bob Stiller, CEO, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters
“When we in Guatemala asked for CQI help, CQI sent excellent volunteer experts andestablished Q auctions as a market alternative. We have benefited more than we ever imaginedfrom that response—thank you, CQI.” —José Ángel López, President, Guatemalan Coffees – ANACAFÉ
In addition to our core programs,we continue to explore ways toenhance coffee quality and benefit the lives of growers. Other initiatives include programsbringing leadership opportunities to women in the coffee industryand exploring new genomictechnology for improving coffeeplant breeding techniques.
