I worked in the coffee industry for a decade and it was always a pleasure to serve this coffee.
It is bold without being bitter and holds up especially well as an espresso or cold brew. I served it alongside higher end third wave coffees here in NYC and it was comparable in quality and flavor. For roughly the same price as buying coffee in the US, you can get coffee that directly benefits the community it comes from. Buying in bulk is especially economical, with a 5lb bag plus shipping coming out to <$15 a pound. I can not recommend it enough.
Also comrades, the rest of the site has some great items for sale as well. Check them out here!

Their coffee is fantastic, I get a bag of beans from them every few months and haven't had any complaints. Usually just do drip, but I made an amazing pot of French press with it the other day and might just switch over to doing that for my morning brew.
If the schools for chiapas site run out of bags, Just Coffee Cooperative sources some of their beans from the Zapatistas and is a US based worker owned coop. They have a gift subscription option which I get for my parents once a year which they love, I get pictures every time they get a new box of coffee in the mail.
Comrade I def recommend making some cold brew with it. It slaps and I don’t even use cream/sugar in it
Also this is mad cute :ancom-heart:
Hell yes, I LOVE cold brew, I should do it with these beans.
Before I had money to spend on fancy coffee, I used to use Bustelo for everything since it was $2 at the grocery store by me. Some of the best cold brew I've had is with cheap coffee and just let it sit for a day or two in a huge mason jar.
It’s really easy to make cold brew in a French press actually. Just drop in the grounds in the morning and then tomorrow morning press and pour like a normal french press. I literally got a second French press so I can have a fresh cold brew every day and a separate press free to use if I wanted a hot coffee lol
Ratio is 5x weight of water to coffee weight
I use the mason jar more for quantity than anything! Prior to covid me and some coworkers I was friendly with would do 1-2 64 ounce mason jars of coffee a day in the office so there was plenty to go around. That's part of why I kept doing it with cheaper coffee like Bustelo 😀
Very nice also! :maduro-coffee:
