Cocaine For Coffee™

Cocaine For Coffee™ exists to support farmers who are transitioning away from coca cultivation and toward sustainable coffee production. Coffee offers something coca never could: legality, long-term stability, and pride in craftsmanship.

By encouraging and supporting this transition, we help create safer, lawful livelihoods for farming families, more resilient local economies, and a future built on quality rather than coercion.

This isn’t about erasing the past — it’s about rewriting what comes next.

What we give

Cocaine for Coffee is the giving programme of Cocaine Coffee.

Every month we set aside the greater of 1% of net profit or $100 — so we give even in the months we lose money. We’ve done it every month since October 2025, before we’d had a single profitable one.

Half is allocated to organisations supporting coffee-growing communities and farmers in Colombia. Half goes to addiction recovery work in Tampa, where we’re based.

Coffee took us to Colombia — to communities shaped by decades of the drug trade and armed conflict, places like Caicedo, the first municipality in the country to declare itself non-violent. Our name gets attention. This is what we do with it.

How your coffee makes an impact

Every bag of Cocaine Coffee™ fuels this mission. Your daily ritual becomes a vote for ethical sourcing, a contribution to agricultural transformation, and a tangible step toward real change.

Concretely: our Caicedo lot is bought through Aprokafe’s grower-run buying centre at 20% above the national reference price. Our Ebéjico community lot pays 13% above, and El Flaco Grande’s Yellow Honey lot 31% above. That premium is the whole argument — it is what makes coffee worth choosing.

More than a name

Cocaine Coffee™ doesn’t exist to glorify drugs or shock for attention. The name is a statement — a confrontation of a broken system, and a commitment to replacing it with something better.

Cocaine For Coffee™ flips the narrative:
Not addiction — intention.
Not exploitation — opportunity.
Not survival — progress.

Brew with purpose

When you brew Cocaine Coffee™, you’re not just drinking a bold cup — you’re supporting a movement that believes farmers deserve options, dignity, and a future worth investing in.

This is coffee with a cause. This is impact you can taste.
