The crisis brewing in the coffee world. - coffeecrew.com - victoria, b.c. canada (#)

  „ Oxfam asked the biggest commercial enterprises to convert at least 2% of their total annual purchases into buying coffee grown in the ìfair tradeî way, and increase that percentage over the following years. The term fair trade was invented by the Fair Trade Labelling Organisation ó an international group seeking greater equity in world trade ó so that coffee workers can receive a dignified salary and sell their product to enterprises that authorise loans to farmers without access to credit, among other forms of aid. The most sensible thing for producer countries to do would be to coordinate the sale of coffee among them. If each one makes its own policy then long-term results are extremely negative, Cardenas warned.“

It features an adjustable hot plate, a small batch setting to make less coffee and a "brew strength control" that promises to manipulate how strong the flavor will be. But coffee gourmets say the convenience and frills such as paper filters, hot plates and tepid water dilute the taste of the brew. "Paper filters trap all of the sediment, but all of the oil as well," says Alan Hilowitz of Starbucks Coffee.“
