Beginning June 21st, Dean & DeLuca is doing something special at their SoHo location (560 Broadway, New York, NY 10012). There customers can add a 25 cent “Shot of Charity” or 50 cent “Double Shot of Charity” to their café purchase and 100% of those “shots” will be given to a featured charity.

They rotate charities on a regular basis, with the first being Apne Aap, an organization that works to empower the women and children of India’s red-light districts to escape human trafficking. Shot of Charity is a nonprofit platform that enables consumers to incorporate the act of giving into their daily habits, founded by three Georgetown University graduate students, .

“Shot of Charity empowers consumers to support effective charitable organizations in a manner that is seamlessly integrated into the coffee environment,” says Shot of Charity co-founder Elias Schulze. “With the generous support of Dean & DeLuca and their customers, we anticipate raising substantial funds for smaller, lesser-known charities. We choose to focus on smaller organizations to maximize the impact of customer donations.”

“We’re excited to launch the Shot of Charity program at Dean & DeLuca’s flagship location,” says Dean & DeLuca CEO Mark Daley. “Shot of Charity is a terrific platform that’s making a marvelous impact. We’re confident that Dean & DeLuca customers will embrace the opportunity to help improve the welfare of others.”

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, so to help raise money for Breast Cancer charities, JURA, producers of high end bean-to-cup coffee machines, has produced a limited edition pink ENA coffee machine that they put up for auction in aid of Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October.

The pink ENA is based on the standard ENA 5 and can be seen at www.juradealers.co.uk/catalog/auction.php. The ENA 5 features a height adjustable coffee spout which prepares two coffees simultaneously into any size cup. It’s really a cool coffee machine that does everything from grind the beans to make coffee, cappuccinos and more.

The ENA 5 retails for £750 euros, but bidding started at just £1. All of the proceeds from the auction will be donated to Breast Cancer Awareness Month charities.

The ENA 5 is one of the slimmest automatic coffee machine in the world, and available in seven other colors. I wouldn’t mind having one in my kitchen.

The bad news is that it’s only open to resident of the U.K., but if you live on that side of the pond, make sure to check it out and possibly bid. The auction will open from 1st to 30th October.
