Just Coffee

I don’t often plug products here, but for once I’ll make an exception. The Just Coffee company in Madison, Wisconsin, is a provider of fair trade coffee that it sources from growers’ cooperatives in places like Ethiopia, Rwanda, Mexico, and Bolivia. The company organizes inexpensive “travel delegations” so that customers and others can see for themselves how the coffee is grown, and how the coffee farmers live.

Now (for a limited time!) Just Coffee has introduced a line of coffee that benefits Break Room, one of the few shows left that are worth listening to (and watching on the Internet) at the maddeningly self-destructive Air America radio network.

Lizz Winstead, Mike Malloy, Thom Hartmann, Mark Riley, and Randi Rhodes may be gone from Air America, and Rachel Maddow all but gone, but Marc Maron and Sam Seder continue to bring scathing political commentary and a twisted sense of humor to the airways. (Marc Maron was gone himself for a while, after his hilarious and popular Morning Sedition show was bludgeoned to death by management. But Sam Seder has lured him back.)

At any rate, it’s good coffee, and it supports small coffee farmers and a fine radio show. Try some!
