Hi all!
I was wondering if my fellow hb-ers had any recommendations for a $/lb coffee roasters. I'm going back to school, and I see my coffee consumption going up and the coffee budget going down for the next 2 years.
I typically order 5lb bags and freeze the beans in mason jars. My current consumption is a pour over or two and a couple of espresso based drinks each day.
I currently buy coffee from red bird, nossa and barrett's.
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Karan

It's hard to beat Red Bird's pricing. Recently Paradise has gotten positive reviews and offer similar pricing. Compelling and Rich and Mountain Air are some other low cost high quality options.

Buy green coffee and roast your own? Can be done pretty low tech and very cost efficient
