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.
I buy locally grown coffee generally from this place https://jaquescoffee.com.au/ sure its going to produce profit for millionaires but I live very close to it and I know the conditions arn't too bad for the workers there.
Yeah, buying local (well, other end of the country, but still local-ish) might be a better option.
Fucking lol at their website though. They complain about getting booted out of Tanzania because the country was nationalizing coffee farms. Sounds like they were booted out by the Party of the Revolution.
oh god damn, I hadnt looked at the website really. It really is hard to find a non terrible source for coffee.
