I love YES PLZ for mail subscription. The Mix is almost always a home run, and even when it’s not it’s at worst a base hit.

But if mail subs aren’t your thing, I love several of our local roasters.

I’m going to give this a try, thanks for the recommendation.

Rad, happy to have made the rec! If you can, come back and tell me how you like it after a bag or two!

CCMan1701A ,

I can, I subd for one every 3 weeks. It takes me a long time to get though a bag

Nice, what’s your typical brew method? I think their beans brew great in any method, but I tend to use an aeropress.

CCMan1701A ,

Yep, mostly aeropress (11g), sometimes V60 (17g).

CCMan1701A ,

Just tried it. Blend 295, it’s good, thanks for recommending them, I also ordered decaf for my parents from them as a gift.

Years ago I lived Jeremiah’s Pick, Jamaica blue mountain blend. I haven’t seen it in forever. Anybody know where to cop?

zabadoh ,

I saw a bag of that the other day in… probably a Safeway or Lucky’s.

You can always order from them directly jeremiahspick.com/…/jamaican-blue-mountain/

Ozone Coffee Roasters
A New Zealand brand, also available in the UK. Beautiful single origins from all over, for a decent price (for NZ at least)

Focal ,

I think for me, it’s Tim Wendelboe’s coffee, but it’s somewhat hard to get ahold of. Also real expensive, but man are those some good beans.

Anyone ever done trade coffee? Is it worth it?

SlicingBot ,

I use it, but I don’t think I’m on the level of a lot of the posters in this community so take my opinion with a grain of salt

I like it, the bags are smallish for the cost 17-25 dollars per order. But it varies the type of coffee I drink and it has led to me discovering new brands that I go back to.

I’m on my second year or 3rd year of Trade and have been happy enough.

Everything I’ve gotten has been good, but I’m not enthused with their recommendations. I’ll look at what they pick for me, but I end up picking my own thing more than half the time.

It’s let me learn what I do like though, by having access to a good number of things in one spot. I could go to the specific roasters and likely get it for the same price or a buck cheaper, but this lets me search in one spot.

I try to make the most of it by skipping blends, and doing light to medium roast single origins only, unless there’s a special seasonal blend or something. It lets me get whatever overall vibe I want for that order more closely: extra fruity/chocolate and nut/wine-like/warm and comforting flavors/etc.

I’ve never gotten the same thing twice, but I do feel I’ve hit up most of their suppliers at least once. Each supplier gets new runs of different things, so even though their regular coffees will be the same each month, keep an eye out for their seasonal or special runs.

Once you get a hang of what you like, supplement with outside vendors or bounce around on your own.

In short, it’s convenient, you know what the price will be, and there’s a good variety to pick from, and it tastes fresh. It’s not infinite options, but it should be more than enough.

I’ve been using Trade for several years now. They’re awesome.

Cptn_Slow ,

I try to get local, but I caved once and got some Onyx Coffee Lab and let me tell you, that was some of the most underwhelming coffee I’ve had. They must have the good reddit bots because it seemed well recommended there and there wasn’t a single blend of the five I tried that was better than what I can get locally (SE Michigan).

Anticorp ,

They excel with single origin coffees. Their blends are just okay.

CodingCarpenter ,

I’ve had coffees from them that tasted like peach black tea and it was mind-blowing they have done some amazing stuff in the past but I’ve only ever gotten their single origins

chunkystyles ,

I used to be local to Onyx. I really enjoyed their coffees. They are pretty pretentious, though.

asdfasdfasdf ,

Same here. I’ve tried two so far. The first one was gross. The second was… coffee. Not good, not bad.

I usually order from Trade and most of the time what I get is excellent.

intensely_human ,

McDonalds. It’s the only place I ever get coffee that manages to consistently avoid moldy beans.

JIMMERZ ,

I actually enjoy McDonald’s coffee as well. That and Tim Hortons. I know it’s not a popular opinion, but sometimes it just does the job.

heleos ,

I’ve been buying from Black White roasters in North Carolina for a while, they always have something interesting

kyle ,

There’s two local brands I like, Cirque and Topeca.

As far as big names, I get Gevalia and like it.

Find a local roaster.

The quality is so much better and you support a local business instead of a megacorp.

nilloc , (edited )

Yup, and most of the big brands are actually Nestle anyway. Fuck Nestle.

Edit: or Green Mountain which is now Keurig Dr Pepper?, depositor of plastic cups everywhere.

avidamoeba ,
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

Lavazza?

nilloc ,

Looks like it’s independent still. But not really close to the size of the Nestle brands (like Starbucks bagged coffee)

Here’s the brands listed on the Wikipedia page (though Seattles Best is missing, but present on Nestles own site):

Wow I had no idea that Starbucks in bags was Nestle.

One tick further down the rabbit hole is the most recent roast date of the local available roasters.

sturmblast ,

Also tends to cost more from what I’ve seen. Which, if you drink a crap ton of coffee like I do… matters.

La Colombe. Really love their all dark roast.

“On Sale”

Coffee is kinda expensive…

GravityAce ,

Yeah… this is what it’s come to

Shout-out to Red Rooster Coffee. They’re an independent roaster out of Floyd, VA with some awesome coffees. Try the Old Crow Cuppa Joe!
