Or tea, if you hate that demons brew called coffee!

I always buy fair trade or organic coffee. Now I found a good basic coffee for daily common consumption - The Zapatista Libertad coffee!
Grown by dem Zapatistas, organically, with the profits going to them.
Now every morning I can be like, yaw, Viva Zapatista brothers, while Im getting my caffeine groove on.

Seems even their sales network is rather guerrilla-like - I got mine from a local organic farmer when I was getting some hay and hemp seeds from him

“As part of the effort to clarify which products being marketed internationally are actually produced by Zapatista cooperatives, in August 2003 the Caracoles began to certify autonomous Zapatista coffee cooperatives. The Zapatistas contend that this became necessary because people were using their name and image in other parts of the world to sell products which were not actually Zapatista. This list therefore, only includes groups which sell coffee from known Zapatista cooperatives such as Mut Vitz, Nueva Luz del Cielo and Tatic Abuelos. Likewise there are some notable exceptions, like Equal Exchange and Transfair USA, because they sell coffee from other, non-Zapatista, Chiapas coffee cooperatives.
The issue of whether or not to buy exclusively Zapatista coffee is tricky: mainly it depends on how much the community organizational processes behind the formation of the coffee cooperatives matter to you."

Not my favourite tastewise, but a good basic coffee.
Finns drink the most coffee in the world, and local roasted coffee is also the worst drivel in the world. Funny how that goes.

Viva Zapatista!

My coffee is Guayaki yerba mate. I don't support the whole "green capitalism" thing, but the other kind that I ordered from Bouncing Bear was too finely powdered and got stuck in the straw all the time. I can't drink coffee, it's too intense and makes me tweak out. Still, that's really awesome that the Zapatistas grow coffee and sell it.

i have realized i am addicted to a black liquid that provides easy energy. as above, so below.

anything made by someone else that costs less than 1 and 1/2 dollars for as much as i choose to consume.

Whatever's on clearance at the trendy import store. Or Folger's.

My coffee is energy drinks. Coffee makes me crash too hard...

I'll have what Coop's having - in Japan.



"Man oh man this Georgia is damn fine coffee!"

(Also here and here.)

Costa Rican. Ground by me. With a good splash of whole milk (rBGH-free when possible). Never sugar.

Theres a really cool small cafe in my town..
Its by the seaside, a very old small red wood house. By very small I mean playhouse small.

Theyre open all year round, and have homebaked goodies and very good coffee. And the best thing...

Coffee costs one euro. But then theres the catch. For every cup you take after the first, THEY pay you 5 cents So if you can drink 20 cups without dying, thats free coffee for you!

I often go there for a coffee (usually just a cup or two thou) when Im biking on cold weather in that direction.

I gave up coffee for tea..




I really like to wake up in the morning.
