This sounds a bit like a shameless plug - but please know that the only benefit I am getting from this brand of coffee is my daily dose of Vitamin C (caffeine) - that I pay for. I like to use my dollars deliberately - this is a great way to make a difference without making a dent.A good cup of coffee for a good cause - what could be better? I found had heard about this non-profit coffee company located here in Minneapolis and just saw it on the shelf at my Super Target last weekend. I picked up the French Roast beans - and they are really good. Plus - it's cheaper than picking up Starbucks or other 'name-brand' coffee.
Don't live in Minneapolis? Good news - you can order this stuff.

mmmmmmm coffee.....maybe I'll run out to a meeting...aka Starbucks.
oh - i've never seen that before. how cool!
I'll definitely check out SuperTarget for this! The local coffee roaster I'm most familiar with is Peace Coffee and it's great to see that there are more with a social purpose!
Looks like some fun packaging and I'll have to scope this out the next time I'm shopping!
