Life with 5 monkies and 1 ape: Holiday Gift Guide: Coffee Bean Direct

Holiday Gift Guide: Coffee Bean Direct

Hi! My name is Brandi and I am a coffee addict. I am always looking for the best coffee. The perfect coffee for any time of day. Oh, it is such a hard addiction. But luckily there is Coffee Bean Direct!

Coffee Bean Direct has been around since 2004. They set out to be gourmet coffee roasters and sell directly to the public, cutting out the middle man. You are assured to receive the best coffee. When you place your order, that is when your coffee gets roasted and packaged. Which means the coffee ends up tasting stronger and much fresher than the store bought variety that has been roasted and packaged MONTHS before it went out to the store.

You can find Coffee Bean Direct coffee's at a numbe of cafe's and restuarants. One of my favorite things that I found out about coffee bean direct is that they trully pride themselves having the lowest prices on the gourmet-style coffee. So you can get the same type of coffee the upscale restuarants serve, and serve it in your own kitchen. You can also purchase it in un-roasted form and roast it yourself.

You can order your favorite flavored coffee to your favorite blend of tea. With Coffee Bean Direct you are able to buy in sizes from 1 pound up to 25 pounds. On orders of 25+ lbs there is free shipping. I was sent a one pound bag of their Evening Fantasy blended coffee to try. It is a full bodied coffee that I found perfect for my morning cup of coffee, but also enjoyable at night. It has a nice balance between the acidity of the coffee and the medium body. But if you prefer lighter roasts there are those also. They have everything from light roast to dark roast in so many different flavors, blends, an varieties. With their monthly specials you will find coffee's perfect for the season. Right now, one of the flavors is Candy Corn. How perfect is that for Halloween! And when Christmas rolls around you will find flavors befitting the big jolly guy himself!

Working with Coffee Bean Direct on this review has been a pleasurable experience. The shipping was fast. The customer service was excellent. And I will be ordering from them in the future! In the mean time, if you would like to order your own coffee from Coffee Bean Direct you can do so by going to their secure website anytime of day or night, or by calling their offices at 1-888-BEANS-11 during business hours.

Win It!!!

The wonderful people from Coffee Bean Direct have offered one very lucky reader their medium gift basket! In this gift basket you will receive:

*Three 1lb Bags of Fresh Ground Coffee

*A 12oz Package of Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans

*One Package of Cookies

*Six Assorted Biscotti

*Two Coffee Bean Direct Coffee Mugs

Wanda said...: I do love my coffee in the morning, and my top favorite is Kona, from Hawaii. Alas, I'm typically limited to a Kona "blend," meaning I get SOME Kona in the bag/can, but - how much exactly? So I would LOVE to try the Hawaiian Kona Fancy. It would give me a marvelous "today" experience while taking me back to a much-loved vacation in the Islands.
