CoffeeGeek - The Basics of Ethical Coffees (#)

  „The growers form into cooperatives and become Fair Trade certified by Transfair. Coffee importers and distributors can also become certified, which means they agree to pay to use the logo, pay the Fair Trade price, and support outreach. The growers are guaranteed to receive $1.26 per pound of coffee ($1.41 for organic), or $.05 over current market price. This system seems to be working -- Transfair has many accounts of growers making enough profit to upgrade their equipment and processes.“

CoffeeGeek - Hario Nouveau Review - Initial Comments

  „The Hario Nouveau was, I admit, an impulse purchase, but I have to say I'd been admiring the form and design of the Hario Nouveau for over a year before I bought it. We happened upon a store in the Vancouver, BC region that stocked all sorts of Hario products, including the Nouveau, so I decided to buy one.“
