We share our tips for reducing waste without sacrificing the quality of your coffee. Then we sit down with our coffee-roasting cousin, Andrew, to get the inside scoop on coffee production, sourcing, and labeling. We discuss: Our thoughts on Keurigs and k-cups (it might surprise you). The easiest way to reduce your coffee emissions without changing your routine. Whether fair trade is really fair trade. How to see past the greenwashing. How you can find the best quality and most environmentally friendly coffee.
