It's great coffee (we use a french press) and at the same time you are helping restore the peace of war torn Rwanda by supporting the widows and families of people there.

They are also fair trade. Besides all their activism, it is simply a great cup of joe.
Just a bit of personal experience: I found I had a lot less stomach problems with coffee when I quit using a french press and started using a single cup paper cone filter holder.
I later read that paper filters remove cafestol which french presses do not. Cafestol seems to be associated with cholesterol problems, so I need to avoid that too.
