Mbale Mill: A Hub of Quality and Community
Situated in the bustling town of Mbale, our large dry milling Arabica factory provides essential services to numerous coffee farmers, from small-scale growers to large enterprises who lack their own milling facilities, providing a vital hub for the community.
The mill sits within a large, well-maintained building. Here, spaciousness meets functionality, providing an ideal environment for processing. Our mill is housed within a spacious and well-maintained building, built on the foundation of solidity and practicality. Every aspect of the space is designed to ensure efficiency, safety, and streamlined processes.
This mill is where the journey from bean to cup begins, where coffee parchment from various farms undergoes a transformation of precision and care. Our milling process involves several steps, from hulling to polishing, sorting, and hand sorting. Amidst the hum of machinery, each worker has a clear role, contributing to the precision and dedication that define our operations. Each step is executed with precision to ensure that only the finest beans make it through, embodying the values of Coffee World Ltd with every batch processed.
Once processed, our beans are carefully bagged, weighed, and stored. This preparation is key for their journey, whether it's for export or collection by our local customers.
From hulling machines to sorting equipment, every piece plays a crucial role in guaranteeing the quality of our final product.
Throughout the mill, you'll witness our unwavering commitment to excellence and sustainability. From the layout of the workspace to the efficiency of the equipment, every detail is carefully considered to uphold our high standards.

Located on Plot No. 666, Bombo Road, Kawempe, our premises feature well built warehouses and a Robusta mill. Here, incoming coffee undergoes careful sorting and recording. Equipped with pallet racks and essential security measures, our team efficiently manages truck loading and unloading for seamless transportation from the farmers and to Mombasa for export.
At our Kampala site, we process Robusta coffee sourced from villages across the country. Robusta beans are collected from various areas due to their different harvesting seasons, ensuring a steady coffee supply year-round. We purchase green beans from local buying points in villages, transport them to Kampala, and process them.
Our key sourcing areas include Central Uganda (Luweero, Masaka, and Kapeeka) and Western Uganda (Mbarara, Rukungiri, Ntungamo, and Kasese). This diverse strategy allows us to access high-quality coffee from different regions, resulting in a rich and varied blend of flavours in our final product.
The Robusta beans undergo air-drying in a specialised system capable of handling 18 tons at a time. Typically, this process takes about an hour, depending on moisture levels. Following drying, the coffee undergoes pre-cleaning to remove contaminants such as plastics and maize cobs.
Next, the milling process begins. The coffee passes through a de-stoner to remove stones before proceeding to the grader, where it's sorted into three grades based on bean size: Screen 18, Screen 15, and Screen 12.
Subsequently, the coffee undergoes gravity table processing, which removes lightweight and insect-damaged beans. Finally, the coffee undergoes colour sorting.
At peak capacity, we process about 60 tons in 24 hours, operating day and night during peak seasons, six days a week. Once processed, the coffee is prepared for export and stacked on pallets.
Our office block facilitates export operations, while perimeter wall and gate security ensure the premises remain secure.
