6️⃣ good reasons we can do better than buttons 🤌

1. More of your money actually stays in your community

2–3x more money stays in the local economy when you buy from a local business vs a multinational chain

Local roasters hire local staff, use local services, and reinvest nearby

👉 Your $$ circulates locally instead of disappearing

2. Local roasters often pay more (and care more) at origin

Many local/specialty roasters use direct trade or ethical sourcing

This often means higher prices paid to farmers vs commodity coffee

👉 Big chains:
• Buy coffee as a commodity (price-driven)

👉 Local roasters:
• Buy coffee as a craft product (relationship-driven)

3. Fresher coffee = better taste (by a LOT)

Coffee peaks 7–21 days after roasting

Grocery store / pod coffee is often months old

👉 You’re not just “supporting local”… you’re drinking coffee at its best

4. Making coffee by hand actually changes your experience

Slower brewing (pour-over, French press) increases:
• Mindfulness
• Sensory awareness
• Enjoyment

👉 You’re not just consuming coffee—you’re creating a moment

5. Pods create massive waste

Billions of coffee pods end up in landfills every year

Most are not actually recycled, even if labeled recyclable

👉 Contrast:
• Local coffee = beans + simple packaging
• Often biodegradable or recyclable

6. Local businesses create more jobs per dollar spent

Small businesses generate more jobs per revenue dollar than large chains

👉 Your coffee supports real people, not just shareholder’s
