Coffee Beans
It's time to restock coffee beans...
I like a strong dark roast... Death Wish Coffee is awsum, but it's $20/lb. Going a little cheaper this year... Nalpalm and Kicking Horse "Grizzly Claw"... Any coffee recommendations out there? |

Me too a big coffee fan of dark roasted beans.
Here are some of my favourites from well-known European coffee companies.

Keurig Dark Magic. Or if you want a very good coffee for a little less money, Seattle's Best Henry's Blend. Both dark roasts, but not not really over the top like Starbucks French Roast. Need decaf? Starbucks Sumatra Decaf ($) is the best I've found. Note: I'm a coffee snob, but a thrifty coffee snob.

Well, I have a fellow vendor at my market who roasts coffee and sell it. It is some of the best coffee I have found. it is the JBC (just brew coffe) guy. I don't know what it would cost to ship it but I buy it every time I need more coffee, he charges 12.00 a pound for it. Contact him at justbrewcoffee@gmail.com .you can buy it ground or as whole bean. shoot him an email and ask about shipping. if it is too expensive for shipping ( shipping is outrageous sometimes) let me know and I will run a box to the post office to see what actual cost would be to ship a few pounds. or I can just send you a bag to try it, too. but it has to be today or in about 3 weeks. I am leaving tomorrow morning for a couple weeks.

I don't have a lot of options for buying whole bean coffee at my local stores, especially in larger bags. I usually get 8 O'Clock, but I do like Pablo's Pride from Sam's Club better. I just tried Hill Brothers, and it is not bad at all.

Peet's Major Dickinson Blend from Costco - $14 for a two pound bag. A one pound bag at the cheapest grocery store is $9.
We don't buy a lot from Costco, but what we do is for less than what we would pay elsewhere, and the annual savings on the coffee alone covers the cost of our membership. |

Another vote for Löfberg's. it's one of the best supermarket ones. Small specialty shops have various beans and if I want relly dark, I get some of them.

Home roasting coffee is a wonderful hobby and spoils you forever - I've been roasting all of our coffee since 2007 using the SAME 20 dollar stainless steel whirlypop. You can choose the country of origin or roast - it takes about 15 minutes to roast 8-10 ounces of beans.
www.sweetmarias.com - very informative site, great service and quality.
