We're looking to order online some roasted coffee beans and have them shipped to a friend as an xmas gift. Anybody have a recommendation for an internet site? We're not considering chains like Starbucks since he can pick that up himself, really looking for something a little more unique.

Thanks

    Yes, I've seen their ads in lots of magazines but was hoping to find something that he hadn't seen or heard of before.

    It's expensive but it's 100% Kona coffee, no blends. If your friend is a coffee nerd, they will like/appreciate this gift.

    One of my favorite cups of coffee is the Cinnamon Nut Studel from Gloria Jeans Coffee! Not too strong but a very nice aroma and taste! We order a couple pounds of it and usually a couple other pounds of whatever sounds interesting every 6-8 weeks or so. Everybody that comes to our house that we serve it too seem to compliment it heavily too.

    Or link directly to the Cinnamon Nut Studel...

That’s why I don’t, I bought all of my current gear based on technical parameters alone, such as specs and measurements."

    Served all over Vermont and most of the Northeast. Very many different roasts and blends but always a good cup of coffee.

    I agree with the Kona suggestion!

    We met these guys when we toured the Big Island in 2006 and have been ordering their blends via their website ever since the stash we carried back on the plane ran out. No affiliation.

    P.S. Keiko's on the wrong island.

    Why make him go through all that effort when if you go to the kona coffee link I posted or the one Polk user posted, you can buy it direct from the coffee plantation? It'll probably be cheaper 'cause you don't pay the distributor and retail markup that Keiko would and the plantation does enough traffic to get discounts on shipping that a retail customer doesn't necessarily see.

    I've never done research about it and was just a simple suggestion
