Global Exchange : Global Issues Flow Into America's Coffee (#)
„The Fair Trade movement began in 1997 with the establishment of the Fair Trade Labeling Organizations International in Bonn. Its founders hoped to offset the effects of global economic forces on poor countries by establishing a set price for certain commodities like coffee and cocoa.“

CoffeeKid - Hearthware, JJ Bean, Rancilio N. America, and more news
„Had a very nifty phone call with one of the top guys at Rancilio North America, a relatively new organization that is primed to change Rancilio's North American representation for the better. Most of the convo was confidential, but what I can say is I was left with a very good feeling about where the company was headed, and exciting things are planned for Rancilio in the home and commercial market for the next few years. This news is also good for Canadians, as there is no longer a monopoly in Canada for Rancilio products - Rancilio N.A. is moving in.“

Coffee Consumption in the United States of America
„In 1999 there were 108,000,000 coffee consumers in the United States spending an approximated 9.2 billion dollars in the retail sector and 8.7 billion dollars in the foodservice sector every year (SCAA 1999 Market Report). It can be inferred, therefore, that coffee drinkers spend on average $164.71 per year on coffee. The National Coffee Association found in 2000 that 54% of the adult population of the United States drinks coffee daily (NCA Coffee Drinking Trends Survey, 2000). They also reported that 18.12% of the coffee drinkers in the United States drink gourmet coffee beverages daily (NCA).“

Virtual Coffee: Feature Articles
„Coffee is the product that brings us all together and makes this happen. The Specialty Coffee Association of America is different than any other association in the world, period. For twenty years we have been demonstrating this and our commitment to quality, to people and to environment has not wavered. We "walk the talk" more than any other association that I know.“
