CHARLOTTE, N.C.– Eurest is introducing Sum>One Coffee Roasters, Farmer Brothers Coffee Co.’s specialty coffee brand, as an innovative offering that blends café-level flavor with purpose- driven sourcing, helping clients manage costs while giving coffee farmers greater stability and opportunity.
The move reflects the strength of its partnership with Farmer Brothers and Eurest’s focus on providing clients with a cost-competitive, premium coffee program that has a compelling impact story, especially at a time when coffee futures continue to fluctuate.
The program offers espresso, drip coffee, teas and blended beverage offerings from direct-trade and fair- trade origins and builds on Eurest’s 2025 launch of Direct Coffee Roasters, a small-batch drip coffee program introduced with Farmer Brothers that pairs craft quality products with measurable sustainability outcomes through Project DIRECT.
“Coffee is at the heart of our marketplaces, and our clients want programs that balance quality and value,” said Jessica Zucker, vice president of marketing innovation and strategy at Eurest. “With our scale, we’re able to introduce modern brands that reflect the artisanal shift in guest preferences and make a positive impact for farming communities.”
With Sum>One, Eurest extends its support for Project DIRECT, Farmer Brothers’ initiative to expand and scale direct work with coffee-growing communities globally to preserve resources and invest in their livelihoods. A portion of every pound of coffee goes directly to fund the program, which takes a comprehensive approach to sustainable coffee sourcing by equipping farmers with training, protecting the environment where coffee is grown and helping families build more secure futures.
“Farmer Brothers has long been driven by the belief that connections are built over coffee and we specifically designed our Sum>One brand to foster the connection between coffee lovers and the extraordinary people who bring it to life. Our collaboration with Eurest reflects a shared commitment to premium quality and sustainability, as well as creating an exceptional workplace coffee experience,” said John Moore, president and CEO of Farmer Brothers.
Eurest coffee bars are among their clients’ most popular workplace destinations and a driver of sales growth. They have evolved into all-day dining spaces and hubs for connection and collaboration.
Sum>One is launching in Eurest marketplaces with a full range of light and dark flavor profiles complemented by food pairings, retail and catering options to create a well-rounded experience for clients and guests. Eurest will also introduce limited time offers and seasonal beverages, expanding choices for guests and using its coffee bars as a place to showcase beverage innovation.
