„Coffee drinkers: The crisis is far from over. Prices may have risen, but barely to cost of production in Central America. On coffee farms and villages that long before prices plummeted were sources of the cheapest labor, children are still dying of hunger.“

„The trend toward increasing personalization of the coffee experience is reflected in the increase in ˜dual drinkers™ across America. The National Coffee Association found that 54 percent of American coffee drinkers are consuming both traditional and gourmet coffee, up from 38 percent last year. Gourmet coffee drinkers usually seek out a local coffee shop when they want to enjoy a latte or mocha.“

„In the U.S. nearly three-quarters of ground roast coffee drinkers enjoy the drip method and her filter papers can be found in 90% of America’s grocery stores. Having started in the business of coffee filters, Melitta understands that a good cup of coffee extends beyond the grounds. The filter paper one uses can be just as important as the system. For this reason, Melitta relies on sturdy, durable filter paper to block sediment, trap bitter oils, and prevent lipids from entering the cup, which can raise cholesterol levels.“

„Still, sustainable coffee has a long way to go before it takes off among America's coffee drinkers. Most coffee still comes from big roasters who currently have little commercial reason to take interest in the issue. What's more, shade is just one of the environmental issues involved in coffee growing, making it difficult to define sustainability, as some in the specialty industry are trying to do. Two other critical issues are water pollution, which is a problem on many shade and sun farms, and the use of chemicals, which shade tends to reduce but not necessarily eliminate.“
