Chris Bowler reviews coffee from the Ethical Coffee Chain:

All right, sermon over. How does the Gus’s coffee taste? I must admit, there was a slight worry that I would be supporting a good cause, but drinking sub par coffee. After the first pound, I’m happy to say this is not the case. These beans are on par with what I would buy from Starbucks or Kicking Horse Coffee.

For context, I’ve tasted this coffee in an Aeropress, a French Press and a run-of-the-mill drip brewer. A clean, bold cup is the result in each. I sadly still use a cheap blade grinder, so getting a great cup of coffee with this setup speaks to how good the beans are.

It’s a really great idea started by some really great people, and Chris says the coffee is good—so what’s not to like?
