  „coffee is slowly gaining visibility in the U.S. David Griswold's San Francisco-based Sustainable Harvest coffee company imports only shade-grown specialty beans. Griswold, who can boast of convincing Ben & Jerry's to sell Aztec Harvest ice cream (made from organic Mexican beans), says that promoting shade-grown coffee "is going to be the next big thing environmentally. One of every two Americans drinks coffee, so that's 125 million people who can easily do something positive for the environment." Griswold is working with Mendocino, California-based Thanksgiving Coffee and the American Birding Association to create a new line of Songbird Coffees, in cartons decorated with pictures of warblers and orioles. Two large chains, Wild Oats Foods and Wild Birds International, have already signed on to sell the product.“

  „Obviously its better if you buy from your local specialty roaster- they can sell small volumes direct to you in whole bean (or if you request) ground form. Its always better to buy the whole beans and invest in a grinder so you can grind beans as you need them. Ground coffee can deteriorate at a pretty quick clip...“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide

  „Finally, we arrive at the only flat-out loser in the cupping. Eight O'Clock Bean Coffee suggests specialty with its whole beans and valve pack, but the generic nature of the blend, the package presentation, and, above all, the wretched quality, all say commercial. In fact, this coffee is sub-commercial, since the well-trained professionals at the large commercial roasters would never foist off a coffee as wildly fermented as this one on their customers. There was even a small stone in the bag I bought, a treacherous oversight that could wreck someone's burr grinder.“
