"I had been buying green coffee online from many different sources but most of them were on the east coast and I'm in California so the delivery time was too slow for me. I did some searching around, found Fresh Coffee Beans Co. and gave them a try. I've ordered from them multiple times since then. The coffee has always arrived very fast and in great condition. Every pound is always just as advertised, I have not received any bad batches from Fresh Coffee Beans Co. (I have from another online shop). Thanks for the great service!"

"Received my shipment FAST and correct. I have purchased from many different companies and these beans roast more evenly and beautifully than all of the others! Not to mention the end result tastes wonderful! Thank you for such a great product and customer service".

"I've enjoyed coffee since I was 8 years-old and my dad first let me finish his cups. However, I no longer like that sweet and cold bottom-of-the-cup sludge. I guess it tasted like candy then.
Over the years, I've learned how to make the best cup of coffee - better than Starbucks (or pick a coffee house), who order their beans pre-roasted. I do not have a "fancy" roaster, and someday want to buy one, but have learned how to pan-fry my beans to exceptional quality.
Pan-frying is not all about listening for the second bean crack, although that is a clue, but rather to bring up the oils from each bean. (Lots of stirring with a wooden spoon involved.) My beans end up darker than store bought (retail) roasted beans, and I burned a couple batches in learning the perfect stopping point. But the process doesn't end there. While the oil is still on the surface of the bean and the beans are smoking hot, grind them. I don't know where the oil goes if you wait to grind them days later, but grinding them and instantly making coffee is the best cup of coffee I've ever had.
Since I am an espresso coffee connoisseur, I've shopped around for beans. Buying in 10 pound packs from Fresh Coffee Beans and using their new flat rate shipping deal gives me the best quality beans at the least expensive rate - and shipping from other companies can significantly add to the overall cost. I've tried many of the various beans at this site and they are all good, but buy only one specific type of bean now, as that is the most potent. However, that secret shall stay with me as to not have everyone else buying them and raising the price." ;-)
