Grounds for Health Coffee Auction Returns September 23–24 – CoffeeTalk

Annual online auction features exceptional green coffee and specialty equipment

Grounds for Health will hold its annual Green Coffee & Equipment Auction September 23–24, bringing together roasters, importers, producers and other members of the coffee industry to support cervical cancer prevention in coffee-growing communities.

This year’s auction coincides with Grounds for Health’s 30th anniversary. Since 1996, thanks to the support of countless coffee companies, the organization has expanded access to healthcare services at origin, helping more than 265,000 women receive screening and more than 22,000 receive treatment to prevent cervical cancer.

The 2026 auction has a growing lineup of exceptional green coffee and specialty equipment from around the world. Notable highlights include three lots from longtime donor Walker Coffee, the auction’s first-ever Vietnam coffee from Crop to Cup, and a custom sample roaster from San Cristobal.

Additional lots are being added daily, and Grounds for Health will accept donations through Friday, September 18.

“For 30 years, the coffee industry has helped Grounds for Health provide access to life-saving care to coffee-growing communities. Our auction is one of the ways we keep that connection going, giving roasters and retailers the chance to buy exceptional coffee and equipment while directly supporting women at origin.”
