We've all heard the standard wisdom that if we each gave up one daily luxury--say, your morning latte--you could put that money towards charity and really make a difference. And I happily gave up my frou-frou coffeeshop runs for brewing at home to save money, but you can pry the coffee cup out of my cold, dead hands, thanks.
Now there's a way to both buy your beans and have your charity, too. Enter the One Cup Project.
Let's start with the coffee itself: It's a wide variety of blends from Seattle's award-winning micro-roaster Silver Cup Coffee, and good luck picking just one favorite. Place a single order or sign up for their handy subscription service (shipping is free when you buy 3+ bags, by the way).
Now here's the awesome part: At $11/bag (totally reasonable for gourmet beans), you'd probably feel pretty good if some of that price went to charity, right? If it was even a dollar, that'd be good. $5 would be pretty awesome, no? But -- to quote Spinal Tap -- this one goes all the way up to eleven. In other words, for every $11 bag you purchase, $11 goes to fund social and economic change in Zambia through a partnership with World Vision. That's right, every last cent.
Great tasting coffee, delivered to your door, and every bag is making a difference. I will totally drink to that. -Mir
