What makes a cup of coffee great? Flavor, lots of caffeine, a bottomless cup? Maybe all of these things...it's really a subjective question.
But what makes a cup of java eco, or sustainable. First and foremost - I encourage you to buy local. If at all possible, buy local. You should also look for fair trade coffee, as this ensures the farmers were paid fair rates for their labors. Organic labels are important too. Organic, in this case, means the beans were grown with no harsh chemicals or fertilizers. Most likely, organic does not mean the coffee was grown here in the U.S.
My favorite place to grab a hot cup of joe, and just sit for a while is Alterra in Milwaukee. They have a friendly staff, yummy food and of course - great coffee.
What's your favorite place?
