Who makes the profits depends on the coffee you buy and how it is sourced, but personally I do try to buy good coffee which actually benefits the grower - our habit can be good for our fellow human beings.
I had a great Thai coffee recently from a cooperative between the Doi Chaang coffee company in Vancouver and the Akha Hill Tribe in Thailand. The co-op is co-owned by a family in Vancouver and the tribe and Climpson & Sons (who it came from) describe this model as "beyond fair trade".
Plus if you buy some it might have been roasted by Doktor Pepe who is/was on here so win win (as far as I know he's still there).
So going back to the OP if you source the coffee right then yes, drinking the java can be a good thing...
