Where to buy coffee beans online

October 2, 2022 4:17 PM

Looking for a place to buy roasted coffee beans online at a good price. Been using Deans Beans and like them but shipping cost went up so I"m looking to see if there are other comparable quality at a more competitive price. I buy in 5lb quantity, basic dark roast.

10 pounds of Organic Midnight Sun from Equal Exchange was $104.50 when I bought it last week, shipped to Massachusetts. That looks to be a little less than Deans Beans.

We like Mayorga organic coffee. Café Cubano is their dark roast, and shipping is free on $40+.

I'm another very happy Equal Exchange customer. They're in Bridgewater so shipping within MA is really quick. I also buy 10lbs at a time about every 10 weeks.

I have to plug my favorite local/Chicago roaster: Sputnik. 5 lbs for $60, plus $7.25 shipping and taxes. Their "regular" non-espresso roast is full medium/full city, which to my palate is on the darker side--or, at least, isn't one of the lightish roasts that are popular in Chicago these days.
