Precision Milling Begins in Honduras with ACM's First Batches

We are proud to share an exciting milestone from Aroma Café & Miel in Honduras. After two years of planning, development and field coordination, Aroma has officially launched operations at its new dry milling facility, successfully processing its first two lots with precision and full traceability.

This facility marks a major step forward in building local infrastructure for high-quality, export-ready coffee. It reflects our commitment to delivering value not only to buyers, but also to the producers and communities we work with.

Technology That Redefines Coffee Processing in HondurasDesigned to be the most modern dry mill in the country, the facility is equipped with:

• Advanced Cimbria machinery

• Automated optical and density-based sorting systems

• Real-time monitoring for flow, quality and traceability

• Precision moisture control and batch calibration tools

  
  

These innovations ensure cleaner and more consistent lots, reduced processing time and complete transparency from reception to export, all aligned with the highest quality standards.

Built for Certification and Compliance

The facility has been designed to meet the requirements of:

• Rainforest Alliance

• Fairtrade

• International export-grade standards

• Organic

  
  

Every stage of the milling process is supported by physical and sensory controls, including:

• Humidity testing

• Sample-based verification by lot

• Equipment calibration and parameter tracking

For Producers, A Tangible Step Forward

For the producer network working with Aroma Café & Miel, this facility means:

• Access to export-quality processing

• Faster turnaround times

• Improved quality and stronger price potential

Aroma is also rolling out training programs, technical workshops and quality support services to help producers grow and benefit from the infrastructure.

What Comes Next

With the first lots successfully milled, the next phase of operations includes:

• Ongoing technical calibration and efficiency optimization

• Gradual scale-up of lot volumes toward full capacity

• Guided visits and presentations for clients, allies and partners

This is more than a plant. It is a tool for regional transformation, supporting better coffee and stronger connections from origin to market.
