For people who are new:

I am a (very good! shockingly good!) coffee company that donates all its profit to charity. But it turns out “I” functions oddly in that sentence, because corporate social media presences are not actually sentient; instead, companies are made of people, even if capitalism attempts to elide the essential humanity of coffee and other products humans consume.

Anyway, companies are made out of people, and this company’s tumblr is made out of author and vlogbrother John Green. It’s simple, really: I am a company who is a person who is me who does the marketing for the awesome coffee club, which provides you with the world’s best coffee and donates all its profit to reduce maternal and child mortality in Sierra Leone.

p.s. Occasionally I am not a coffee company. Occasionally I am a person who answers questions about my books or other work. Other times, I am a sock company. Like the rest of us, I contain multitudes.

countingwhales asked:

dear Mr Intern,

can you try to relate TB to the awesome coffee club as I am wondering if there is a relevance. I hope this will ne a fun challenge for you

The Awesome Coffee Club exists to provide people with the world’s best coffee and support efforts to radically reduce maternal and infant mortality in Sierra Leone.

Over 1,500,000 people will die of tuberculosis this year. Many of those people will be pregnant. TB has long been a major cause of non-obstetric maternal death; untreated tuberculosis has a mortality rate of around 40% among pregnant people. And so expanding access to TB treatment (and spreading information about the global tuberculosis pandemic) is central to the work of radically reducing maternal mortality in Sierra Leone and beyond.

callmeirony asked:

So I live in Fairbanks, Alaska. I don't usually look at fresh-food subscriptions because we're usually the exception shipping policies, but do you think your coffee would be significantly negatively affected by the increased shipping distance?

No. When our coffee gets to you in Fairbanks, it will be so much fresher than any grocery store coffee, or any Starbucks coffee, that you will be genuinely astonished by how different and better it tastes from the coffee you are likely accustomed to.

p.s. My dad lived in and around Fairbanks for several years, and then when I was in college, I attempted to follow in his footsteps for a summer. I mostly lived in Moose Pass, but one night I was in Fairbanks on a day off from work and got drunk in a bar that was mostly empty, where I befriended an older woman named Carole who told me I needed to leave Alaska as soon as possible because I was chasing something I could never find. This turned out to be good advice. Still, it is lovely up there, and lovelier still when each morning begins with a delicious cup of Awesome Coffee.

hi i thought i'd help out the unpaid intern because i think he's awesome :)

also sending lots of love to you and hank x

Dear Certified Bee Enthusiast,

I guess you are an unpaid intern now. You’re certainly an unpaid meme maker, and a good one. More people are welcome to gift me with excellent memes designed to sell coffee.

Thank you for making me memes celebrating the awesome coffee club, which brings you the world’s best coffee and also donates 100% of its profit to charity. Look at the gigantic freaking hospital being built with coffee.

turniphair asked:

If you were to compare the ground and whole bean versions, does grinding the beans yourself have a significant impact on the flavour, or does all that other stuff about the coffee (that I cannot remember but I'm sure that you, unpaid coffee intern, do) minimize the difference?

  1. Does it have a significant impact on flavor? I think grinding your own coffee tastes slightly better, but I am super bougie. Like, I might be the world’s bougiest unpaid intern/acting CEO.
  2. That said, our ground coffee tastes (vastly) better than any ground coffee you can get in a grocery store, because our coffee is much fresher. It’s not unusual for supermarket (or Starbucks etc) coffee to spend six months on a shelf after being ground, and that really hurts the flavor. Our coffee is much, much fresher–it’s usually ground less than a week before it gets to you–so you don’t get nearly as much flavor loss.
  3. One of the surprises of Awesome Coffee is that it is, in fact, so very good. Like, it is markedly more enjoyable to drink every morning, and literally no one is paying me to say that. I think this fact is reflected in our extraordinarily low attrition rates–most subscription services lose 10-20 percent of customers per month. We lose less than 2%. It’s just incredibly good coffee, doing important work in the world.

radar-of-the-stars asked:

Do you sell anything other than coffee? I can't handle caffeine

WE DO HAVE AMAZING DECAF. In addition to coffee, I sell the world’s best soap, although we are currently sold out because we did not order enough. And I sell awesome socks, but we are currently sold out of those as well.

Also, I am currently and temporarily selling 16 different pride shirts with all the profits going to the ACLU of Montana’s efforts to protect the rights of LGBTQ+ people.

This is a picture of a pizza john shirt but with pride colors and the entire design is comprised of repetition of the quote "We're here because we're here."ALT
