Global Exchange : Coffee is grounds for initiative (#)
„"This is creating awareness of the issues, and the issues are enormous," said Orrel Lanter, owner of the Uncommon Grounds roastery in Berkeley, who has actively supported efforts to raise consumption of organic, fair-trade and shade-grown beans. "But should people go to jail for brewing a politically incorrect type of coffee?" she asked. "I don't think so."“

„Yesterday I'm at the grocery store, and I'm sort of in between coffees (got some Organic Timor coming from Uncommon Grounds in Berkeley, but it won't arrive till later in the week). I'm pretty cheap, as a rule, so I figure I might as well give 8 O'clock's 100% Columbian a try, as I've read good reviews of it at Consumer Reports.“
