Contributor Dani Straughan explores the conversation around the Living Wage in the US coffee industry - featuring an interview with Elle Taylor of Denver, CO based Amethyst Coffee Company:

.."The fact that the minimum wage hasn’t kept pace with a changing economy has made life precarious for low wage earners, and kept many at or just above the poverty line."

.."There are many in the coffee industry who continue to earn low wages, but the time for change is afoot... people are seeking out a more conscientious cup."
