Organic coffee VS. civet coffee (monkey poop)

Do you like to eat poop? Well if you do, this does not concern you. The world's most expensive coffee these days comes from the Asian Palm Civet which is a monkey. And you thought coffee came from trees? Well, this particular fad of coffee comes from the excrement of the Palm Civet. The process goes like this, the Palm Civet eats the coffee cherries and only partly digests them . Then the coffee farmer comes around and collects the partially digested cherry seeds and uses these to brew coffee. Sound tasty? You can pay up to $350 a pound for this type of coffee and you thought your fancy coffee shop where you have to add your own milk to the coffee was expensive.

What makes Organic coffee organic? To be considered Organic in the US coffee farmers have to use only organic fertilizer. When farmers use organic fertilizer this creates a natural eco-system in which birds find habitat in the trees and in doing so help control the insect population. Another benefit of Organic Coffee is that there are no harmful chemicals absorbed into the beans themselves. Meaning that as a consumer of coffee you won't have any in your cup. Using natural fertilizers helps prevent soil erosion as well as adding nutrients back into the soil. Win-win for mother earth.

It is up to you the consumer to make the choice of which type of coffee you want to put in your mug: poop coffee or organic coffee.

Organic produce and other ingridents are grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizrts, sewage sludge, genetically modified organisims or ionixing raddiation. Animals that produce meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products do not take antibiotics or growth hormones.

Organic Coffee is coffee that is grown without the use of pesticides, synthetics fertilizers etc. I feel that is quite enough reasons to ONLY drink Organic! But just in case you are not convinced pesticides can cause:

Allergies, memory loss, Diabetes, cancer, obesity and the list goes on. For fear of scaring you too much I'll stop there. But it's all over the internet plenty of scientists are researching this and it's really quite gross!

Now on a happier note here are a few benefits of going organic with your coffee:

Research reveals that organic coffee beans provide important antioxidants that reduce the risk of diabetes and cancer not to mention the great taste as well as the productivity and energy boost!

Our Routine Patrol Coffee is made from all Organic Coffee beans it is roasted in small batches to ensure quality and all flavors are also organic and sugar-free. 

My Father & his Coffee

My Father & his Coffee

My father is quite the character. He has always been a man of many adventures. When I was born he was a Sergeant in the NYPD.

  Growing up I was always fascinated by all of his stories of being a cop.  You really couldn't begin to imagine the crazy things that become quite routine as a cop in NY.

Routine Patrol Coffee

One of my favorites is perfect for the holidays lol. I'll tell it they way I remember it being told. My dad was responding to a domestic disturbance call on Thanksgiving, he comes into the apartment where a husband and wife are arguing quite loudly and dramatically. The husband ends up deciding to just go but not before picking up the entire turkey and putting it  under his arm and carting it off toward the door. My father sees the look on the kids faces who are quietly watching all of this drama going on, patiently waiting to eat at the table. So my father talks the guy into leaving the legs for the kids to eat! Man only in NY.

Routine Patrol Organic Coffee

 So after telling all theses stories told throughout the years and getting man looks of shock and lots of laughs my father decided to write them down in his book Routine Patrol. Then he came up with the idea of making his own coffee; Routine Patrol Coffee. His coffee is USDA Organic Colombian Coffee fresh from a Rain-forest in Colombia. It is finely ground and really quite delicious. It really amazes me how all this was inspired by his being a police officer.

So I say try the coffee read the book & have a good laugh!!!

Coffee: A Love Story
By: A Coffee Makers Daughter

Organic Coffee

Coffee Love

  It's really hard to put into words my feelings about coffee. It's really like a relationship that started at a very early age and has evolved into a deep love. People who don't drink coffee could never really begin to understand, the love the passion a coffee drinker has toward their coffee. I am the type of person who lays in bed at night drifting to sleep dreaming about waking up to that first cup of fresh brewed coffee. And if your family is like mine that is only the beginning of your coffee intake for the day. We are the type of people who have coffee with breakfast, lunch and dessert.The point is I LOVE COFFEE!!!!

Coffee Percolator  

I remember my first cup of coffee like it was yesterday! It was a cold winter morning and I stole a rare moment alone between my mom leaving for work and before having to leave to catch the school bus, it was classic Folgers made in a percolator pot which makes even the worst quality coffee taste good (nothing against Folgers)...the coffee was still hot being in a carafe I poured it into a white and pink early 1990s Corningware cup that matched my mothers dishes, I heaped in probably close to 3 tablespoons of sugar and milk and took the sip that started my love!!

After many years of trying many different coffee brewing methods I've found the French Press to be the best option because it produces such a strong true flavor of your coffee. I love my fathers Routine Patrol coffee specifically the mocha flavor which is aptly called Night Patrol. It is rich and delicious it doesn't have an overpowering flavor like other flavored coffees do. You might think I'm biased but I have tried hundreds of different coffees and this is the one! It's organic too, and you cant beat that!
