Just Love Coffee Roasters

I'm a huge fan of coffee, on the average week day I probably have 5 cups a day, and not that silly decaf stuff, I leave that for the wussies. 

Interesting fact: Ethiopia is the birth place of coffee, see my previous post about how Starbucks was beaten by a bunch of goats to discovering coffee and other interesting facts about Ethiopia. It was discovered in a region of Ethiopia called Kaffa. Traders from the Arabian Peninsula brought it to Yemen where the roasting process was refined and exported mainly through the Yemenese port of Mocha. The concept of a Coffee Shop was popularized by the Italians (I know the French would like to claim this and have tried to do so by popularizing the name 'French Press'). The French Press as we know it is actually attributed to an Italian designer named Calimani; he took the French Press Coffee Maker a step further by using a glass jar with a spout, much like a laboratory beaker, and fashioned a plunger with a filter on the end to press the ground coffee to the bottom of the pot.

I was surfing the web and found Just Love Coffee Roasters, they have a very cool story. Owners Randy and Emily Webb adopted from Ethiopia and during the process of learning about Ethiopian culture discovered the wonderful history of Ethiopia and its great contribution to coffee lovers all over the world. They've started their own coffee shop which has a store front and an online store. A large portion of their profits go to help with Ethiopian orphans. Check out their story.
