„I partially retract that remark. A couple years ago I had cinsistently good cappuccino's at a tiny Italian restaurant on Caye Caulker (an island off the coast of Belize South America). The owner used an old La Pavoni manual lever machine and single origin Guatemalan beans of unknown provenance (he bought them from a food wholesaler on the mainland in Belize City). It proved to me that the person running the equipment, their level of skill and passion for a good cup are huge factors (he was a native of Milan Italy).“

„The idea of marketing fairly priced products from cooperatives is not entirely new, particularly for people who were sympathetic to Central America's revolutionary movements of the 1980s. At that time, solidarity activists and organizations, such as the Boston-based group Equal Exchange, were importing and selling small amounts of Nicaraguan coffee to support that country's Sandinista movement, and paying farmers fair prices. Their support made the difference in many cooperatives keeping rather than losing their land when the Sandinistas lost power in 1990. The Fair Trade Federation, the national association of fair trade retailers and wholesalers, boasts over a hundred business members that import or market crafts with the primary motive of supporting cooperative producers with fair prices.“
