Here are some of our favorite Catholic coffee brands (Video)

If you’re like me, getting through the morning without a large cup of coffee is practically unthinkable. Though the practice of drinking coffee originated in Islamic countries, Catholics eventually embraced the drink after Pope Clement VIII tried it and loved it.

The tradition of having a morning coffee quickly spread throughout Europe and beyond. Today it is estimated that there are around 1 billion daily coffee drinkers around the world.

If you are a coffee lover, why not consider purchasing those precious beans from a Catholic-operated coffee brand? Some of these companies are run by religious orders; others that are owned by lay people donate some of their profits to Catholic charities or pro-life causes.
