Has anyone else caught this deal at Intelligentsia. I was looking at the website a couple weeks ago and ordered this right away. Three pounds of coffee a month for twelve months for $350 with shipping included after the first order. The first shipment comes with a french press, a scoop, grind samples, and a binder with alot of good info. Just got the coffee today. I am pumped. Of course I still support my great local shops.
I know I sound like an advert, but this is awesome.

How fast do you go through your coffee? I would be afraid to buy three pounds at a time because by the time I would get to the third bag, it would be over three weeks old. Plus, I don't think I can afford to drop 350 bucks all at one time!

Intervention Not fast enough. I need somebody else to take at least one pound off me. This month we gave one pound to a friend. We'll just keep doing that or find another local geek to buy a pound from us every month. It would be great if you had somebody to go in with you.
This month the shipping that was covered by Intelligentsia was over $18. I don't know how they do it! It's a losing deal for them, but a great deal for us.

It does sound like a great deal. I sure have enjoyed my black cat.
How do you manage 3 lbs. for the month and keep a fresh bean all month. I could make it for 3 plus weeks plus on the 3 lbs. Could you freeze some, what else could you do?
I talked to a rep on the phoen when i had a Crate & Barrel gift card and she said they ordered the stuff in last year and had no plans for reorder.. this was earlier this year though.. The coffee could be a year old..
I would leave in on the shelf and order from intelly direct rather than waste my money
