I can buy fresh beans locally, intelligentsia and some others have places around me.But red bird is cheaper, $53 for 5 lbs of redbird espresso (med roast blend), free shipping.They usually ship on the day of, or day after roast, and it takes a couple days to get it.So, as soon as it arrives, I vacuum seal and freeze most of it, and it lasts me a few months.Randy
You guys are all crazy....So are all burr grinders created equal? If not, what makes one better than another or shall I say what does one look for in buying a burr grinder?
Intelligensia is good stuff. You're here in Chicago then? Or West Coast?I'll look into that Red Bird.

Randolph) for the coffee and Intelligensia( Division) for the friendly baristas. Both are very good.... can't lose with either.
Why would people choose a dark city roast? You lose more of the flavor (not a problem is the beans aren't great quality to begin with) and more of the caffeine that way.
Ctviggen , can you explain how you cold roast ? Thanks!!
What is the entire procedure?Its roasting and milling only?How much time last roasting?What is the better temperature to a no too strong taste?
