Honestly pretty good. Nice taste, B-Corp Certified, vehemently independent, and it keeps me awake without feeling panicky.

Truestart coffee seems to have been bought by JamJar Investments and DLF Venture. What does independent mean to you?

For coffee I always recommend the well sourced Café Libertad out of Hamburg. I don’t know how shipping to destinations outside of Germany is though.

Not necessarily. Some would still call it independent if it's not owned by the big coffee-mongers like nasty baby-milk-pusher Nestlé.

It's an issue for when those in the EU want to buy something due to the taxes
