I'm Dan and joining me today is Catherine.

So Catherine, do you prefer a brew or a cup of joe in the morning?

Well, if you are referring to whether I prefer a cup of tea, which we sometimes call 'a

brew', or a cup of coffee, sometimes called 'a cup of joe', I prefer my coffee in

I only drink coffee when I really need to wake up quickly.

Because it's part of this 6 Minute English.

A dash of something is a small amount of something, especially liquid.

Personally, I prefer freshly-ground coffee beans, and I like my coffee dark and strong

- preferably Colombian or maybe Brazilian.

An aficionado is a person who's very enthusiastic about, or interested in, a particular subject.

Well, let me test your knowledge with this week's quiz question.

The specialty coffee, Kopi luwak, is made from coffee beans which have already passed

Did you say this coffee actually goes through the animal?

As in, it eats it and then it comes out the other end, and that's what we use for the

It is actually one of the most expensive coffees in the world.

Anyway, we'll find out if you're right or not later on.

So, talking of expensive, do you tend to pay more for your coffee or are you happy with

And personally, I do actually like a quality product, and I am willing to pay a bit more

Would you be willing to pay even more than you already do if it meant that the farmer

who grew the beans was getting a fairer price?

I would because I think that that sort of thing is important.

There is a growing trend among many Western customers of artisan cafes to be willing to

So, Dan, why is this trend happening at the moment?

Well, it's probably been going on for a while, but a new report from the UN's World

Intellectual Property Organisation has observed the effect that smarter processing, branding

and marketing has had on the farmers and their communities.

And because of this, coffee drinkers are better able to choose ethically produced coffee that

puts more money in the hands of the farmers.

But, Dan, do the farmers actually see any of this money?

The price of the coffee is relatively cheap until it's been roasted – or cooked in

As a result, roasters take most of the profits.

I'll let Johnathan Josephs, a business reporter for the BBC News explain.

Jonathan Josephs , Business reporter, BBC News

For a pound of coffee beans that end up in the instants (section) sold in supermarkets,

But when the new wave of socially-aware customer pays a premium for higher standards, the roaster

can get $17.45, but the export price also rises to $5.14.

A premium is an amount that's more than usual.

So the farmer makes three-and-a-half times as much money.

Which means a better quality of life for the farmer, their family and their community.

I will definitely look for the ethically produced coffee from now on.

As long as, Dan, it doesn't come out of some animal!

I asked you which animal the speciality coffee Kopi luwak comes from.

Let's try not to think about it, and have a look at the vocabulary instead.

A dash of something is a small amount of something, usually a liquid.

Where might we talk about a dash of something, Dan?

My gin with a dash of tonic, and my soup with a dash of salt.

An aficionado is someone who is very interested or enthusiastic about a subject.

I'm working on becoming a bit of an accordion aficionado actually, Dan.
