Hiya -
Just placed my first order and it arrived this AM - the next day. I am very close to Sweet Maria (70 miles or so), but UPS is still fast IMO. I am a part time potato farmer and work full time as an engineer for a company that makes airflow measurement instruments. I am pretty pedestrian when it comes to coffee tastes and usually prefer French Roast and many of my early mornings are spent at a local coffee place called Johnny's Java, but I still make a cup at home before I get there. I finally stopped buying Costco bags and was buying at the local Oliver's where I sell my potatoes, but at $10 per bag I had to give it up. I'd rather support the small farmers anyway since in some circles I am considered one. So I already have a heat gun and stainless steel dog bowls and a shop vac and some other unused goodies that would enable me to put together a fancier roaster, but I will probably be too impatient to build anything and just roast some tonight after our company Xmas Party. I think Sat AM (before the dump run) maybe very pleasant!
Anyway - I shopped and shopped for green coffee beans and kept coming back to Sweet Maria's. I didn't see anything out there that looked better. If Tom is lacking something, it ain't passion for his product!
Cheers! Denny
