Won't it be cold by the time you get it?

Thank you, I'm here all week. Try the buffet! :D
 
I don't know if they're the best and they're probably not the cheapest, but I really enjoy doing business with Peets Coffee & Tea (www.peets.com). Great coffee and excellent customer service.
 
I'll agree with that. Peets coffee is roasted better than most places, plus they have a bunch of teas you will not find elsewhere.

I'd order from them all the time if I didn't have a Peets 5 miles from my house. Sometimes the online store has special runs that don't make it to the stores, so get on their mailing list...
:D

I love some pure Kona every once in a while, but it costs too much. I would have to say Costa Rican is my favorite. And, none of that roasted until burnt stuff either. I love a nice medium roast.

I belong to Gevalia, and love their coffees. But, they really kill ya on the shipping, so I only have them ship me some like twice a year.

Freshly roasted and freshly brewed Mexican, either Coatepec (from Veracruz) or Jaltenango (from Chiapas), for imported I like Guatemala and can find good Colombian pretty cheap (sometimes even cheaper than local Mexican!!).

I like to mix medium/dark roast half and half.

Stop right there I absolutely demand that you check out

www.zabars.com

They have the best coffee on the planet bar none. The prices are very good too just order enough to maximize the value to shipping costs. Try the zabar's blend and go from there. I am not a coffee drinker because most coffee tastes like dishwater. Not this stuff. We buy the decaf. It is the best.

I'm sorry, but with that comment, you have disqualified yourself from this discussion. Decaf is a poor substitute for real coffee. :barf:

Danbo -- I pay $8 and change for UPS 2 day with Peet's (2 pounds of coffee); it's less than $5 for UPS ground (but that takes 6 days).

Yep, I was wondering if anybody was going to comment about that. I refuse to take coffee advice from somebody who buys Decaf. :)

That would be like taking knife advice from a Schrade Cliphanger fan. :)

My name is Java and I'll vouch for Rodaks.

Marvin's place is 10 miles from here and he roasts his coffees by hand as they are ordered. I've sat a few hours just talking over a freash cup about WWII Warbirds (Marvin is a member of the Confederate Air Force (oh sorry thats Cooomemmmmorative Air Force to all the PC police listening in) while the fresh aroma of beans just reaching the second crack wafts in the air. Hope to be working on the Waco Squadrons A-26 soon as well. Good stuff!!

But, if you really want fresh and cheap, start roating your own. Sweet Maria's has roasters that start at $70.50 ($80.50 with a four pound starter sample). I've been using the Fresh Roast plus 8 for 6 months and there is nothing like the satisfaction of taking coffe from musty hay smelling green beans to a personalized dark roast or the smell of roasting coffee that permeates the kitchen. The green beans keep for a good year or more and you have beans so freash the coffee must "rest" 12 - 24 hours before grinding and using. Most popular varietals run $4 - 5.00 per pound with higher prices for premium varietals like Kona Peaberry, Blue Mountain, or Australian Mountaintop. (yes Australia now grows some excellent coffee). Sweet Maria's also sells all manner of accoutrements related to brewing, grinding, or roasting and they have excellent reviews and How Tos on roasting, cupping (judging the brews), and brewing. Great site to start yer own roastaferian career! Once you get started, green beans are sold cheaply on E-Bay as well.

Coffee, joe, mud, pick-me-up, 30 weight, caffeine, drip, unleaded, jolt, black bean soup, liquid stimulant, hook-up, pick-up, rocket fuel, espresso, black ambrosia - java, java, java, java, java!!!!! Thank you for starting this thread!!! :D
 
It's your loss though. I still really recommend you try their coffee. I have turned many friends onto this stuff and they are the high test drinkers like yourselves.

WWW.ZABARS.COM
 
If you ever roast your own once, you will never go back to that pre-roasted stale crap. Coffee only lasts a few days after roasting until it goes stale. Green beans will last for a couple of years.

You can spend money to get roasting machines, but I do it in the oven in a cake pan. You have to stir it frequently doing it this way. I have been told you can roast it a hot air popcorn machine.

I get my green beans from the site below. Friends and I go in on orders and get huge discounts. My favorites are: Tanzanian Kilamanjiro peaberry, Ethiopean Harrar horse coffee (both are wild coffees) and Sulawesi Torawa from Indonesia.

Kimber, you DO know we're just hackin on ya, don't ya? :D Because, as you know, real friends don't let their friends drink Decaf! :)
 
All the way!

well, at least until McCharbuck's bought SBC and got T's in the bargain... :mad:

Still, their Perugia is consistently one of the finest commercially roasted coffees available in Seattle... aka:Lattesland... :cool:

And if you ever do manage to visit Danbo, he knows a great little place for fresh coffee and beverages around St. Louis... if that wasn't one of the places he was refering to?? Danbo?
