CoffeeGeek - Counter Culture Coffee and Earth Fare Team to Produce Sustainable Coffee Line (#)
„ Producing coffee organically ensures that no harmful pesticides or poisonous chemicals are used, which can be hazardous for the environment and the workers who are in direct contact with the chemicals. Coffee that is certified Fair Trade by TransFair USA guarantees that farm workers are paid fair wages, and promotes community development projects and good environmental practices. “

Cafe Campesino ...from crop to cup a Fair Trade
„Much of Fair Trade coffee is organically grown. This means the coffee is grown and produced without the use of any chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides. In other words the coffee is grown in nature without chemical intervention.“

„Most sustainable coffee is grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides, making it organically sound as well. Care is also given to maintaining the integrity of the ground cover on the coffee plantations as well as protecting any nearby rivers which might interact with the liquid by-products of coffee processing. Sustainable coffee growers are also keenly concerned with the issue of deforestation, as many of these growers are in Latin America and in close proximity to rainforests which are clearly at risk.“

„Many organically grown coffees come from farms which have been recentlyconverted into organic farms. Well, a farm which has been submitted to pesticides andherbicides or other decades-long chemical treatments, will not suddenly become a clean,pesticide-free coffee farm, at least not in our life time. Farm certification programs todetermine "Organic" are based on laboratory tests paid by the companiesinterested in obtaining certification. There are no Government based or truly independentverification test organizations.“

CoffeeGeek - Aabree Coffee Brings You the Rancilio MD40 Grinder
„The one-pound coffee bean hopper is made of impact resistant tinted plastic (which helps keep harmful light away from the beans) and features a type of "shut off valve" that allows for removal of the bean hopper without emptying the coffee beans first. This kind of feature is fairly common in $400 grinders or more, but rarely found in grinders under this price.“

„Because much of the coffee sold in the United States goes to health-food stores, most of the farmers must also guarantee that their crop is raised organically, without chemicals and with sound land-use practices.“
