ABOUT THIS VIDEO
How can someone's passion for biking, coffee & the environment also lead to a profitable career that's environmentally and socially responsible? Meet Joel Domreis, the brain & calves behind Courier Coffee Roasters*, based in Portland, Oregon. Joel’s coffee roasting company delivers to local restaurants, businesses and residents within biking distance of his downtown roasting site. Ride along with Joel as he navigates the streets of Portland to deliver eco-friendly coffee that's rich in flavor without the unhealthy dose of fossil fuels. (*Since our filming, Joel has expanded Courier Roasters by opening a coffee bar on SW Oak Street in Portland. We congratulate him on his vision & wish him continued success!)
MONEY-SAVING RESOURCES & TIPS
- Coffee consumers should always opt for triple-certified coffee: Shade-grown, organic & fair trade. Shade-grown coffee is better for the soil, and produces better tasting beans. Organic coffee provides a toxic-free environment for field workers, the surrounding community, and the environment. Fair-trade guarantees stable, fair prices, so that farmers avoid the fluctuating world-market prices.
- Portland's adventures in eco-preneurship don't stop here. The website bikeportland.org is the brainchild of
Jonathan Maus, who turned his love of bikes into a career as well.
BikePortland.org is the go-to site for all news related to bikes,
everything from a mode of alternative transportation to racing and
everything in between.
