Virtual Coffee: Feature Articles (#)

„In May 2001, five non-profit organizations that work on coffee conservation issues (Conservation International, Consumer's Choice Council, Rainforest Alliance, Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center, and the Summit Foundation) took a step toward creating a unified front by releasing a document entitled "Conservation Principles for Coffee Production." The principles were designed to provide common ground for conservation groups to work with other environmental movements and coffee businesses. They can also help importers and roasters develop sourcing guidelines and assist banks and foundations in deciding which coffee development projects to fund and how to evaluate them.“

Transfair USA | Fair Trade News (#)

„These days, students seem to favor the more diplomatic path. When students, faculty and dining services can come together on common ground and openly discuss the idea of carrying fair-trade-certified coffee, the end result is more appreciated by all parties involved. For example, take Villanova University, in Villanova, Pa., where dining services director Tim Dietzler switched to fair-trade-certified coffee in 100 percent of the eating establishments on campus after students organized and approached him with a cogent, logical and well-mannered proposal. The straight forward method fared well with Dietzler, whose school is now only one of 15 that carries solely fair-trade-certified coffee on campus.“

„“The Hawaii coffee industry represents an extremely wide array of perspectives: five-acre family farms, large corporate farming operations, local and regional coffee roasters, and retail coffee vendors of all sizes,” said Steve Hicks, HCA vice president. “We met and worked with the Kona Coffee Council, Kona Farmers Alliance, Hawaii Farm Bureau, members of the Hawaii Coffee Association, and the Department of Agriculture in order to reach a common ground on the issue of labeling. The consensus reached focused on consumer awareness,” Hicks added.“

Global Exchange : wakeup.html (#)

„In response, the specialty coffee industry has tried to find common ground for labeling conscious coffees. Finding a suitable term that encompasses all three conscious coffees (perhaps a superseal that generically calls all of them "sustainable coffee") would reduce consumer confusion over the three issues; consumers would not have to struggle over what to support -- organic coffee cooperatives, songbird habitat, or fair pay to coffee growers.“

„When cleaning the Santos, don't scrub the nylon filter clean--it should be rinsed under warm water. The coffee grounds from the upper section can be scooped out into the garbage can or compost using a common kitchen spatula. Then, simply wash the top section with dish soap and warm water. Also rinse the coffee pot with warm water as soon as you are finished drinking coffee.“
