Has anyone dealt with Coffee Bean Direct in Stockton, NJ? Are they dependable? I live in Maryland and like to order from a green coffee beans supplier that is close by. http://www.coffeebeandirect.com/

I have bought from them several times and never an issue. I think they do an excellent job in selecting high grade coffees. I will definitely buy from them again.

They are top notch. I have been buying from them for many years, both coffee and their bulk teas.

I purchased from CBD for a fairly long period of time for where I work. It's decent coffee, but I quit ordering from them. I make my own coffee at work now and order from other roasters instead. I became annoyed that every time I went to their website, all of the featured coffees seemed to be these gimmicky flavored coffees. It seems that is all they advertised lately. If that's your thing, then cool. I just have different taste and went elsewhere. They do have a fair-trade/organic selection, but it's very limited and hasn't grown in some time. For the office crowd wanting a low-cost/fresh roasted option, it should meet the desire.

Ok great, I mostly hear about sweet marias. Just wanted an opinion on CBD. Sounds like I cant really go wrong. I want to try roasting at home, there are so many options out there. Thanks guys.
