„ Gary Heine, one of Cooperative Coffees' founders and co-owner of Heine Brothers Coffee, a roaster/retailer in Louisville, Ky., also has future hopes for the co-op, such as working with decaffeinated coffees and exploring the possibility of importing fair-trade teas. But like the 13 other members of Cooperative Coffees, he's perfectly content with what the group has accomplished thus far: sourcing quality sustainable coffees, forging equitable, transparent partnerships with small farmers, and bringing the message of fair trade back to consumers. "We have the opportunity to change the world every time we buy, roast and sell a coffee," he says. "Fourteen roasters around the country are putting their money where their mouths are, and that can be a very powerful thing."“

CoffeeGeek - Coffee: General Discussion, Fair Trade Coffee
„ As an alternative to fair trade coffee, there are a lot of "relationship" coffees out there. A roaster or importer will negotiate directly with a grower or co-op giving them more money than they would get from a middleman. That has the same effect without the branding.“

Tea & Coffee 05/03 - Getting the Skinny on Sample Roasters: Part I
„Then, one roaster manufacturer posed this question: “Do these small machines really produce a decent enough roast to help determine a green sample’s worth?” It all comes down to that. In response, listed below are some new sample roasters that just might help in the green coffee buying decision. For the record, in my opinion, not one of these machines has the kind of variable settings that would qualify them as a commercial roaster. But, the point of this article is to determine if they could assist in finding a great coffee.“

CoffeeKid - Ramping up to SCAA 2004 - and More!
„Check out the new Green Coffee Co-op . Set up and maintained by home coffee roasters, this is a very cool venture that gets homeroasters together to co-buy green coffee at wholesale costs. For each co-buy, usually one volunteer steps up to actually buy the bag, sort the orders, and ship them off. It's a not for profit private venture, but a token "fee" is paid to the volunteer per lb for their time and effort.“
