Okay
I may be in for trouble with this one. I am a BIG Peets coffee fan. I am sure that there are other companies that have the same quality, but I am asking now about Coffee Bean Direct. I know they advertise on this site, but i am curious if they have the same quality as a Peets. I don't know. Some people may think Peets is a lower quality than their fave. Any thoughts, especially about Coffee Bean Direct would be appreciated.
I just stumbled on to Peets a few years back and never really investigated any other coffee company. I was always afraid of paying 3 prices and then being disappointed. Thanks for the other references!

i have used coffeebeandirect for about 3 years now. fast shipping and never any problems. as far as comparison. all i can say is i use to roast my own with green beans from sweet maria's and as far as i can detect coffee from coffeebeandirect is right up there with my home roasted batches. you can't beat the prices either.

Hello. I have also used and still do use Coffeebeandirect.com for my bean purchases. Their service, pricing, and shipping speed is excellent and I highly recommend them.

FYI: I just found out that coffeebeandirect.com has a domain name to apparently reflect their focus on the green bean buyers market: www.GreenCoffees.com
That above URL will bring you to their main page that has a listing of over 48 different green single origin and blends.
Real basic page, nothing complicated to navigate. Just click on what you are interested in, brings you to a page with its description, and you can order from there. Actually brings you to their main coffeebeandirect.com site.
I am from Connecticut, they are in New Jersey. Can't get much closer to home for quick shipments.
