Who is your favorite online roaster?

[JonR10]

Hard to single out just one...

I have had such great product and service from a few...

Coffee Emergency, Caffe Fresco, and Metropolis (missing from poll) have all been excellent to me.


(And I haven't tried any of the others - so my vote would be biased anyway)

[papalatte]

Sorry.........
I only home roast.......

Zoka Coffee & Barefoot Coffee Roasters (both can order online) would be my favorites right now.

Great Northern Roasting Co, Traverse City Mi.

[malachi]

You know... there is an "other" choice...

[cannonfodder]

Wow, that is a lopsided poll so far. Besides my vote, Metro is one of my fave as well, but 90% of my coffee is home roast.

[mortgageman]

Caffe Fresco gets my vote - Tony's Ambrosia blend and Daterra are awesome. The level of service he provides and his commitment to constantly improving what he does is unparalleled imho.

[brianneary]

Current favorite is Fresco - Ambrosia.
Has anyone noticed more Caffeine 'kick' in Brentwood - Gold. We certainly do here.

[kdesanctis]

Caffe Fresco gets my vote too - Tony's Black Hand is amazing for a great all around blend. Makes wonderful ristretto and great machiatos. The Ambrosia blend is wonderful too. The level of service he provides and his commitment to constantly improving what he does is unparalleled as someone else noted as is the value. I used to use Vivace but Caffe Fresco's taste is superior and the value makes it a slam dunk. If you haven't tried it you need to.

I love the Ambrosia and it has become my new favorite espresso coffee I plan on continually ordering it. Tony knows first rate service and deserves the vote not only for his excellent coffee but first rate service. I had a problem where my coffee was sent to my old address and would be forwarded to late for my party which I needed the coffee for. Tony resolved it and sent another 2 pounds asap to the correct address at no cost to me. I have never in my life received such service and dealt with anyone who bent over backwards to resolve the issue. I was shocked that such service even existed in this day in age. Hat off to Tony and the Ambrosia. If you have not tried Tony's fresh roasted espresso or coffee and excellent service I suggest you do. Thanks everyone.

I'm not sorry......
And I only home roast too, and just closed a deal today on a used San Franciscan SF1!
Espresso machines aren't the only way to chew up $$$

OK, I gotta know: how many $$$ did the used SF1 chew up?

Bluebottle Coffee. Either my technique is improving or they have very forgiving coffee. The 100 % Yemen Sana'ani and the Espresso Temescal. Also Sweet Maria's roasted Moka Kadir and Espresso Monkey blends.

[Kristi]

Caffe Fresco's Ambrosia

yum!

[CSME9]

Caffe Fresco Ambrosia is my favorite.

[Ozark_61]

I also like the Metropolis. 2nd is Zoka's palladino.

EDIT: FWIW - I just received Daterra and Ambrosia on excellent recommendation from the poll here - I would give the nod to Ambrosia, but I still prefer Metropolis.

[ramseysingleton]

In order, Vivace, Victrola, Intelligensia, and Terroir.

Do Cafe Fresco coffees have robusta in them or are they straight up arabica?
