Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance Certified, Organic, Shade Grown. The list goes on and on. This week’s poll question is “Do Labels Like Fair Trade Matter To You?” Do they affect your coffee buying decisions? Or could you care less?
I’m a fan of buying coffee that’s produced with an earth friendly method and provides a working wage for the farmers, but it’s not the only factor that I look at when I’m buying coffee. However, if there’s too similar coffees and one has a Fair Trade label on it, there’s I’m going for the one with the Fair Trade label. My thinking doesn’t stop there. I have questions about how effective are these labels and the certifications behind, do they really help the farmers and the land where they are grown? However, that’s probably for another blog post some time.
Last week’s poll question was “How Do You Like Your Coffee?”
First place ended in a tie between dark roasts and medium roast votes. Each one had 34% of the vote.
All of the above came in next with 21% of the vote. Light roasts and flavored each had three votes.

I usually drink 2 cups a day. Had to cut back. Getting up there in age. But I sure do luv dark roast. I used to drink alot more coffee per day.

I opted for the “Medium” vote, I wanted to click the “All of the Above”, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it with the ‘Flavored’ option in there 
I like medium, dark and light though…really depends on what kind of coffee it is, and what I’m in the mood for.

i usually have 2 min per day. 1 as i commute to work and the 2nd with lunch. my preference is for plain roasted coffees although my wife cons me into drinking the flavor of the day type drinks if we go out or she is in the mood to bust some new k-cup variety. i also do prefer the organic grown beans if you want a more detailed answer.

I think my answer is all of the above. Flavored coffees and medium or light roasts used to be all I drank, but now I think I can appreciate a good dark roasted coffee…just as long as all of the subtle flavors aren’t roasted out of the coffee.
Last week’s question was “How Much Coffee Do You Drink Daily?“
Thanks to everyone that voted, last week we had 89 votes, the most ever for one of the weekly polls.
The number one answer, with 34% of the vote was 3-5 cups a day. Seems like a pretty reasonable number to me.

2 in the morning, 1-2 during the work day and generally a homemade “latte” in the afternoon. My granddaughter (2) often enjoys her afternoon “coffee” (tablespoon of coffee in a mug of milk) with me. I am corrupting my sweet grandbaby
One to two cups per day came in second with 29% of the vote.

I’m a caffeine lightweight, 1 – 2 cups a day. On the mornings my wife doesn’t leave me enough I’ll end up making 3 cups worth, have two hot in the morning and an ice coffee midday.
My answer, six to nine cups of coffee per day, finished with 21% of the vote.

I am a 6-9 cup kind a guy. I use to do more but had to cut back cause of headache’s from withdraw when I didn’t keep up with that kind of consumption. 6 in the morning plus a nice afternoon or early evening coffee is the best.
Karen @ Blazing Minds said:
I’ve opted for the 6-9 cups, but depending what kind of week I’m having it could be more, does that me a cofeeholic
Ten plus cups per day ended up with 12% of the vote
Unkle Bonehead said:
I have a 64 oz cup that I fill up twice a day. Often if I dont have to get up early the next day I’ll fill it up a third time. So if a standard cup of coffee is 8 oz I can go through 16-24 cups in a day. And I am almost done with my second “cup” on a Saturday so I most likely will have some later this afternoon. 
Zero cups of coffee had three votes. Are you guys sure you’re on the right blog?
