So we just got a coffee machine as a gift and I wanted to find some good sources of coffee.

I'm painfully unsure of how well to trust fair-trade and certifications, what's bullshit and what isn't.

Something like Zapatista coffee would be amazing, but I can't find anything that ships to the cursed island of Australia.

I know there are some Australian growers, which might be better off from an environmental standpoint but as far as I know they're all owned by and continue to produce profit for millionaires.

Any help would be amazing - if you can get me on it I'll even start trying to spread the word to local cafes to give back.

    Sick. If all options fail I might put out a call to the site again and do a bulk order / sell to Aussie hexbears. Not sure how we could do it while still being anon though is the only bit.

      yeah its a good point, im not sure what the solution is there

      maybe we could just get it shipped to asio head office, and we all just pick up our share when we next come in to meet with our handlers

          From my end, I could forward you the information on the seller. Getting it to eat other would be another matter.

            Yeah, that'd be the trick. Might have a look around at some local cafes or roasters and see if I can convince them.
