Fair trade / organic coffees you may reccomend?
Please no Starbucks-related answers. I just do not like the brand.
I’m currently working on consuming my giant birthday gift of a Folgers tub, and a small can of typical Kroger brand.
What is something environmentally and ethically sound that you think I should try when I finish up with these?
I don’t have a coffee grinder unless a blender works, so whole bean may not work for me. My coffeemaker is an average Mr. Coffee machine.

Well its funny you say no Starbucks related answers, I would actually want to hear your feedback as to why you do not like us. Outside of our coffee prices which I myself when not an employee would touch, we are rated in the top 100 of most ethically sound companies in the world. Starbucks Fair Trade coffee which is our Cafe Estima blend, is made particularly from coffees grown in East Africa. The coffee is considered Fair Trade because whenever we buy the beans we pay top dollar for this coffee. The reason being is so that the farmers who own the conglomerates, coops, and what not are able to give back to their own farms. Having the ability to grow finer crop, giving their workers better health care, giving loans so that the farmers have the ability to buy more land in which to attain higher profits for themselves as well. Oh, if your talking also about ethical coffee, you should try our Organic Shade Grown Mexico. This is coffee that is grown specifically underneath the canopy trees so that the farmers have an easier time growing them. Along with being organic, no pesticides, the shade grown concept offers the ability for no pesticides at all. All the while this means that your coffee will taste great with some notes taken in from the forest around it. The acidity is a nice touch, but to be honest I like the complexity as you can taste a nutty and citrus taste all at the same time. So why do you not like Starbucks?

i would love to recommend some organic coffee to you but i have never tasted or seen organic coffee in my life.
instant coffee. Yum
You want good coffee?
Grinders are $15-20. go get one.
Also go get a hot air popcorn popper with the fins that blow air out are on the sides, not the bottom (ie Poppery). (Garage sale $5 or e-aby $10-15)

Africa makes some decent coffee, there are plenty of other sites that sell green beans. The money you save buying green and roasting will EASILY pay for your equipment.
