„"I am delighted to know that our certified organic Fair Trade coffees will be made available in many of our nation's popular national parks and resorts," said Robert Stiller, president and CEO of Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Inc. "Together, Xanterra and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters will offer national park and resort visitors high-quality coffees that are making a positive difference in the environment and in the lives of many small-scale farmers and their families."Organic Fair Trade Certified™ coffee is the latest in a series of sustainable cuisine options available at many Xanterra parks & resorts.Two years ago, the company implemented a program to support sustainable fishing by placing a ban on serving certain kinds of seafood because of threats to either the fish species or the environment. The company will not serve Chilean Sea Bass (Patagonian Toothfish), Atlantic Swordfish, all species of Shark and Bluefin Tuna. Xanterra also recommends other species to guests if they are part of a wild population that is abundant enough to sustain fishing, there are low levels of wasted by-catch and the fish are caught or farmed in ways that minimize the impact to the environment.The company also uses "Conservation Beef," in selected restaurants.“

„The Pump-operated Espresso MakerUse fine ground coffeeThe ultimate coffee maker for black-coffee drinkers is the pump-operated espresso maker, invented by Gaggia in 1946. It uses an electric pump to force not-quite-boiling water through the ground coffee at high pressure. It can be used to make espresso or medium strength coffee.The coffee made in this machine is much sweeter because the water is not boiling.“
