Mycotoxins and Coffee: Should you be Worried?

The Importance of Fair Trade Coffee
Posted by Matthew on 1/27/2020 to Newsletters
‘Fair Trade’. You see these words on packaging, along with ‘Certified Organic’. It’s something that we all like the sound of, but what does it really mean? Coffee is such a big part of most every morning that we rarely stop to think about where it comes from, or who grows it.
Something Special Brewing with Red Door Shelter
Posted by Matthew on 6/16/2019
Some time ago, my family and I started contributing coffee donations to Red Door Family Shelter, a Toronto organization that assists families, refugees and women fleeing violence. They have been around for a while—since 1982, when only one other shelter was operating in Toronto. Read more...
The Importance of Organic Coffee
Posted by Matthew on 4/15/2019 to Newsletters
Once upon a time, all coffee was organically grown. Even when chemical fertilizers came on the scene, coffee continued to be organically grown for many decades. Since coffee bushes love shade, they were traditionally planted under existing forest canopy – an arrangement that worked well. The majority, if not all organic coffee, is still shade-grown.

Just Say NO to Bad Hotel Coffee
Posted by Matthew on 2/16/2016 to Newsletters
Over the years, I've taken many trips where I've been disappointed with the terrible coffee offered in hotels – especially the in room coffee. The last thing you want when you first wake up on vacation is bad coffee – yuck! Luckily, it's never been easier to make great coffee yourself while on the road. All you need are a few simple things.
Proud to be a K-Cupper?
Posted by Matthew on 9/29/2015 to C2CC Offerings
By now we've all heard the negative press about Keurig K-Cups. Sure, they may be more convenient than traditional brewing methods, but their advantage pretty much ends there. First, they are extremely wasteful. Because of all the landfill they've generated, John Sylvan the creator of the K-Cup, has even said that he regrets inventing them.

Here are a few tips to make a delicious, refreshing Iced Coffee that will really hit the spot without putting a dent in your wallet.
The Clever Dripper - Product Review
Posted by Matthew on 5/1/2015 to Newsletters
We recently started using The Clever Dripper in our home, and it’s been fantastic! Part of what makes it great is that you can steep your grinds within the cone itself, courtesy of a built-in valve that only releases coffee once you place the filter on top of your cup.
