Recommended roaster with fast shipping

Postby kimbken on Thu Aug 12, 2010 12:02 pm

I live in the Caribbean and generally get my coffee shipped from roasters in the US. My coffee is usually shipped to Miami (sky box service) then sent on to the Caribbean. From Miami to my door is usually 48 hrs. To cut down on time between roasting and delivery to my door, I'm looking for a great Roaster who can ship to Miami within a 48-72 hr period. Any recommendations? I'm thinking about trying trying Counter Culture out of NC.
I currently receive my coffee anywhere from 1 week to 2 weeks post roasting. Would really like to cut that time down, especially as I already pay a premium in shipping and customs!

I would give Counter Culture a shot. I live in Florida and I get their standard shipping ($5) within two days usually. I love their Toscano blend!

By far my best shipping experience is with Caffe Fresco http://www.caffefresco.us. Coffee is always very high quality.
