Just Planet is a registered Fairtrade business with Flocert and Fairtrade Australia & New Zealand, purchasing beans exclusively from organic, small farms and fairtrade cooperatives in countries including Colombia, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Peru, Indonesia, Mexico, Ethiopia, PNG and Timor-Leste through reputable importers. The cooperative uses funds for improved organic farming practices, business development and soil care. The business upholds fair wages and annual reviews for its team, encourages input from all staff, and considers every suggestion, with team members aged 16 to 66.
Just Planet sources only organic coffee beans and uses biodegradable packaging, including home compostable 1-kilo bags and biodegradable coffee cups. Customers receive a discount for using their own cups, and Pottery for the Planet cups are available for purchase. Coffee sacks, pallets and used coffee grounds are given to a local garden cooperative and a not-for-profit gardening company. Wholesale beans are supplied in 9-kilo reusable drums, which are collected, cleaned and reused.
Just Planet supports all coffee growers through the Fairtrade process, ensuring self-determination of funds raised. The brand has donated 90 kilos of coffee to The Paul Watson Foundation for its Antarctic mission. In Australia, it supports The Cace Smart campaign and Mission Australia sleep in your car fundraisers. Locally, Just Planet backs community initiatives by providing giveaways to help various groups raise funds, with a different cause supported each month, often selected by the team.

Product Reviews by Experts


This blend is the smoothest and most rounded of the ones I tried – rich in the best way. It’s the most chocolatey too! Full-bodied and decadent. My favourite of the three Just Planet blends. Beyond the Fairtrade credentials, JP provides free coffee daily to anyone in their local community who needs it, including people sleeping rough near their city site. The Nicaraguan beans come from a collective of small highland farms, so buying them sends better financial and social outcomes back to those growers directly.


This coffee brews a smooth, medium-bodied cup with a really unique fruit profile. Their setup is solid all around, from using 100% organic Fairtrade beans to packaging them in home-compostable bags. It is also great that they supply wholesale coffee in reusable drums to eliminate packaging waste, and quietly support their local community by giving free daily coffee to people experiencing homelessness.


Just Planet’s Nicaraguan coffee beans are absolutely beautiful, and there’s so much to appreciate about them beyond simply making a great cup of coffee. I love that they’re both organic and Fairtrade certified, supporting farmers, workers, and local communities through more ethical and sustainable trade practices. It’s always wonderful to see a brand that prioritises quality while also making a positive impact, allowing consumers to enjoy their daily coffee knowing it supports both people and the planet. What I love most about Just Planet is that their commitment to people and the planet goes well beyond the coffee itself. From sourcing organic, Fairtrade beans from small-scale growers to supporting community and environmental initiatives, there’s a genuine sense of care behind the brand. I also appreciate their efforts to reduce waste through compostable packaging and reusable systems. It’s always lovely to see a brand that combines great quality with a genuine commitment to making a positive impact.
