Drip Coffee. Press Coffee. Siphon Coffee. Espresso. Cappuccino. Latte. Magic words for over 1/2 the population of the planet Earth. For 500 years, this hot beverage has been the most popular method of caffeine consumption. Coffee is, after all, the second most popular item of trade (next to oil). It employs millions of families, some in less than ideal working and living conditions. Help change their lives by buying better coffee through direct trade, fair trade and cup of excellence programs!

In 1996 Colin Newell of Victoria B.C. Canada created the coffeecrew website to educate and inform; to help you, the readers, have a better specialty coffee experience at home or in the office. We average around 80,000 readers a month and get lots of e-mail. And every e-mail counts! Have a question? Send us an e-mail. We answer every question no matter how simple or challenging within 24-48 hours guaranteed!

Coffeecrew.com is a non-commercial resource - this means we make commercial recommendations but we do NOT sell anything. Introducing you to new and classic methods of brewing coffee, espresso and other specialty coffee beverages and, at the same time, raising your level of awareness on how this marvelous bean makes its way from the farmers field to your cup.

This website is an educational resource for consumers of specialty coffee. In between all the tutorials and gear reviews, we try to get in one important message: That cup of coffee you are about to enjoy had a long journey from the farmers fields to your cup. Thanks to the advent of the internet, coffee can now have a more meaningful journey to your cafe or home - and benefit the farms and coops even more - cutting out the middle man. Learn while you are here - and have fun!


Banners - Links -
Link exchanges:
Coffeecrew.com has been on the air a long, long time (late 1994 - early 1995) and as a result we have a very high search engine position as a product of this incredible longevity. We have been running banners and paid links for a long time - and in better economic times we proudly hosted around 8 large equipment vendors. Opportunities for advertising on the coffeecrew.com will exist in 2012. Sales are closed until then.

Link exchanges - we get e-mail every week from newcomers to the coffee biz looking for link exchanges. We do not do link exchanges under any circumstances because it is a form of free advertising for the person requesting the link. So please do not e-mail us about link exchanges. Thanks!

We have a few suggested vendors (who have a time honored track record of customer support) who have given us, pretty much, open access to their inventory. If you are wondering, this is a not-for-profit consumer resource for coffee drinkers. We take in just enough ad revenue to just barely cover hosting expenses so, no - and we do not sell anything.
