UPDATE: The winner of this giveaway is #105, Allyson!
I have always been a coffee drinker.
My mom used to tell the story of how my grandmother came for a visit and I kept tormenting her as I would crawl (as in, too-young-to-walk) over to where she was sitting, climb up her leg, and beg her for a sip of her black coffee. More than once.
Though now adays I’m a wimp and don’t like my coffee too strong, and Husband teases me about having “a little bit of coffee with your fat-free hazelnut creamer…”, its a daily staple around here. He likes his with just a little half ’n half…eww.
There is always a pot (or two, depending on the day) brewed in my house. Its usually something from Starbucks or the huge Dunkin Donuts bag from Costco (you know the one?). Those are usually our go-tos.
Recently I was introduced to Camano Island Coffee Roasters…a different kind of coffee company, that proudly proclaims their coffee will help you sleep at night…
The company was founded on 2000 on the philosophy that their business could change the world through sustainable practices and responsible purchasing. And as their “prosumers” (coffee-loving customers) simply drink coffee, they are changing lives.
As partners with Agros International, they are enabling the poor and landless to achieve land ownership by training them to farm and sell their crops. And by breaking the cycle of poverty, they are helping create a stable and sustainable future for generations to come.
The Coffee Lover’s Club is the fuel that feeds the engine of Agros. Members receive 3 lbs of organic, high grade coffee for $36.90 (free shipping) on the cycle they choose. That’s a great value, especially considering your money is going to helping improve people’s lives.
We tried the Papua New Guinea Medium, the Guatemala Light, and the Brazil Dark. Our preference was the Papua New Guinea as that’s more our style, but all were fresh, full flavored and perfectly roasted. There are 14 coffees to chose from, including espresso beans, and you can tailor order you grind to match your machine. We’ll definitely be participating in the Coffee Lover’s Club when our current supply runs out!

Definitely an addict. I used to be a snob and an addict and while I still prefer really high quality coffee, I don’t mind a good ole cup of folgers every now and again either.

I’d say I’m an enthusiast. I’ll drink just about any type of coffee there is. Well, except flavored coffees – unless it has chocolate in it – because I prefer just plain coffee. But I love a good cup of coffee.

I used to be a coffee addict but with the onset of acid reflux I have to be much more careful of the amount of coffee I drink. I try to select the brand with the lowest acid content but sometimes that isn’t enough.
These days I describe myself as a casual coffee drinker.
