Global Exchange : Global Issues Flow Into America's Coffee (#)
„An estimated 25 million of these farmers have suffered because raw coffee prices have fallen below the cost of production. Students in California have helped to pressure the Sara Lee Corporation, the maker of the Hills Bros. and Chock Full O' Nuts brands, to start buying small amounts of Fair Trade coffee. On Tuesday, voters in Berkeley, Calif., a longtime redoubt of student activism, will vote on a measure that would require the city's restaurants and supermarket cafes to restrict sales of brewed coffee to blends that are Fair Trade, organic or shade grown, which are considered more environmentally friendly than conventional, mass-produced varieties.“

Tea & Coffee 03/04 - American Espresso: The State of the Rage
„The big roasters, Kraft (www.kraftfoods.com/maxwellhouse ), Sara Lee (www.saralee.com ), and Procter & Gamble (www.folgers.com ) roast most of their products for the common taste which is designed for other brewing methods than espresso even when the coffee is called “French.” There are few espresso blends produced, fewer still of the big brand products are ground for use in an espresso-maker. The bigger roasters in the U.S. are making comparable quality products to those made by commercial roasters in European markets including Italy. There is one large roaster only specializing exclusively in commercial production of dark roast coffees in the U.S., Rowland Coffee Roasters Inc, Miami Florida.“

CoffeeGeek - The Australian Coffee Academy
„Supported by both private sponsorship (Douwe Egberts, a Sara Lee company) and the State Government, it provides a formal curriculum in coffee training with recognised credits towards University degrees and diplomas in tourism, hospitality management and food technology. The credits are also available to other Australian universities. I thought it was about time I found out exactly what went on at a coffee academy, so I contacted the manager, Jill Adams, and had an interesting chat with her.“

Tea & Coffee 08/04 - Everything Old Is New Again: especially when it’s private label
„Success for purchasers of private label products is dependent on more than developing a product and putting it on the shelf. Large, commercial coffee and tea companies like Sara Lee Corporation and Reily Foods Company have built solid reputations in producing private label brands as well as their own brands. In his business, Jeff Vojta, Stockton Graham Company, a small roaster/retailer in Raleigh, North Carolina, is experiencing a growing interest from customers wanting to offer a complete branded set of products to differentiate themselves from their competitors in the market place. This includes a preparation and serving area, cups, condiments, serving utensils and related accessories, he related.“
