    I roast my own coffee these days, so I buy my greens from Sweet Maria’s. I’m not going through enough greens that I’m able to buy wholesale, and they usually have so much variety that I don’t really see the need to shop for a new supply.

    When I was buying coffee, there were a few places I would order from online. During the pandemic, Tectonic Coffee was running a promotion where anyone who made a purchase from them would have access to their wholesale pricing for life, so I took the plunge. To date, their Colombia Decaf is my favorite decaf bar none. Their single-origin offerings are also good, but they’re probably more than I’d feel comfortable paying without the wholesale pricing. Not because they aren’t worth it, but I don’t think most people want to daily drink something quite that expensive. The blends are pretty much as advertised.

    The other roaster I’d order from regularly is S&W Roasting. It looks like their website has since changed, and they don’t offer sizes larger than 300g bags now. They used to run a permanent discount code (I believe it was REDDITOR15OFF), but I’m not sure if it’s active anymore. The quality of the beans and the roasts were great, and I’d usually get a little hand-written thank you note in my orders. I stuck to the lighter roasts, so I can’t comment on their blends or medium roast offerings. Their beans were always sweet, bright, and fruity, something that I didn’t fully appreciate until I roasted my own coffee and started experiencing firsthand how easy it is to get mouth-puckering acidity in city roasts.
