It’s with great pleasure that I offer up this amazing coffee hamper to you as a competition prize courtesy of Puro Fairtrade Coffee.
Puro was created in 2005 and since its conception, has always sourced Fairtrade, organic and shade grown coffee.
What’s the coffee like? It’s absolutely delicious – really rich and robust with a chocolatey edge to it – perfect for getting you started for another full-on day!
You may well have already come across this ethical brand, who supplies places like the National Trust cafes, Le Pain Quotidien, Leon, Gourmet Burger Kitchen and Wyevales Garden Centre.
Puro are at the forefront of buying and protecting rainforests and are actively working alongside the World Land Trust, whose patron is Sir David Attenborough. For every cup of coffee sold, money is given to buy and protect areas of rainforest in South America. Puro have so far saved over 5,600 acres (approx 6,000 football fields) of rainforest across 3 Puro reserves in Ecuador, Brazil and Colombia – that’s pretty impressive!
So if you want to win the hamper read on, and if you want to find out more about Puro I’ve included a cool film they made at the bottom of this page.

Price and ethics for me x
I adore coffee and must drink 8 mug+ a day! I buy for quality because I want to enjoy my coffee – so price doesn’t matter! I don’t buy loads of clothes, shoes, handbags – my treat is to sit down with a home made mug of my favourite coffee!

Nice coffee
Ethics and price, hard to find the right balance between those two.
Mine would be ethics.
I really love coffee but ethics over the years for me has become very important
usually the brand because l know its taste
I look for fairtrade, but I want a decent price too. Most important is how strong it is, don’t like a pappy coffee.
Ethics and quality

I tend to stick with brand names I trust but they are fairtrade too.
I love coffee and admire the ethics behind Fairtrade.
Unfortunately Price is the most important thing to me when I am looking for coffee, I wish it could be ethics but I can’t afford ethics at the moment
I’m afraid price at the moment
Ethics & brand
The taste has to be number one for me. If it’s an ethically sound brand that’s great. And if it’s on offer even better!
Ethics
Price and strenght – I tend to go for stronger coffees 4 or 5.
I don’t like my coffe too strong so I look for that first then the price
Price and strength saying that I mainly drink Nescafe and Red Mountain x
brand name and ethics, at the minute im enjoying tasting different brands and I havent tried puro as of yet 🙂
Tase and ethics – I like one really good cup of coffee first thing in a morning to set me up for the day.
Ethics and taste
Price, taste, and offers!
Taste & price
fair trade coffee is good!
i would say price and quality
As much as most agree with ethics, im afraid with me its Price, id love to help the world by paying the extra it costs to get ethical food and drink, but with the amount of money we have I have to always go by price and do whats best by my family, im one for “charity begins at home”
The taste is the most important thing, followed by price, especially in these current economical time’s…..but I do agree with ethics and fair trade.
I usually go for price and taste, it seems so expensive.
Ethics followed by Price
Ethics but it does depend on price
ethics and taste primarily
All important but taste is my first priority when it comes to coffee
Buying fairtrade is very important – so ethics!

In an ideal world it would be ethics, but I confess that on the rare occasions I treat myself its price and its generally supermarkets own economy brand.

Taste is most important – to be Fair trade is a bonus.
It has to be the taste but ethics certainly does play a part. I wouldn’t buy coffee (no matter how tasty) if it wasn’t ethically sourced.

It has to be the brand of the coffee. Has to have a lovely smooth taste
It has to be the price and the ethics.
Ethics would definitely come first, but honestly price is a very close second.

Price and Taste are the most important!
Quality and taste
It’s origin for me but my preferred regions are governed by the approach taken to both the growers and land.
I think free trade coffee is important closely followed by taste.
the taste for me, but also ethics and also price
Always good to buy Fairtrade as long as its not too expensive.
origin and brand
Actually none of the above, it’s the taste that counts.
Well it has to be ethics first, then taste. Now that most of the major supermarkets have embraced FairTrade principles price has become so much less important as you can buy great tasting coffee, with a known history of how and where it was produced at a good price.

My wife always goes for the brands she likes that happen to be on offer that particular week though if I’m shopping with her – which isn’t as often as it should be! – then I do say ‘well what about this one for a change?’ and pick up a fairtrade coffee. Unfortunately she just won’t have it.

A combination of ethics and price. Wouldn’t sacrifice ethics just for a low price, but sometimes truly ethical products attract a v high premium

Ideally its a combination of price and ethics – but with the financial squeeze coming on these days, hopefully I wont have to cut back.

Taste has to come into it but Fairtrade is very important too.
I would say taste is priority but in conjunction with other factors you have mentioned.
Where the coffee is made and the ethics behind the company. Taste is also important.
