You make your coffee every
morning in a French press. You use a
Bodum model because they have high quality kitchenware and they also sell Bodum
replacement carafes (you can find them at replacementcarafe.net ) – you’ve discovered the hard way that glass carafes can
break easily! You also use only organic
coffee, although sometimes your friends question why you do not just buy the
cheaper store brand. “Coffee is coffee”,
they say. You’ve researched coffee and
you know the answer – organic coffee is almost always better than generic store
brand coffee, both taste-wise and health-wise.
Why pay more for organic
coffee? Many of the countries in which
coffee is produced do not have the same safety standards as the industrialized
world. Pesticides that may be banned in
some areas are not controlled in others and may be used to increase the crop
yield. To encourage farmers to grow
organically, even though they bring in a smaller crop, it is necessary to pay
them more. But, the end product is
coffee beans without the taint of unhealthy chemicals and pesticides.
