Where are my coffee peeps?

mrsconn23

Our friends are without work due to the gov't shutdown.   I want to send them a coffee care package (coffee is the man's lifeblood). 

Anyone have a good site to use to send coffee?

How about coffee bean direct? 

www.coffeebeandirect.com

Otherwise you could use vendor specific like "Gloria Jeans", plus it helps to know what kind of coffee they like.  Flavored, whole bean, fair trade, dark, light...etc.

They're Central and South American fans.  Good flavor, not too bold.

I've been googling, but IDK if it's good coffee or not on some of these sites.  I definitely don't want to send them crap.

FWIW, Biggby's is the best coffee in our area, and these guys distribute it online:

This one is from a collective of growers in Tanzania, so not exactly South American, but really good stuff. Good cause too

I've used www.coffeeam.com to send gifts.  Also, Stauf's is a local place that has amazing coffee (we included it in our OOT guest gift baskets) - but I've never mail ordered it:  www.staufs.com

ETA: Stauf's Snickerdoodle blend (cinnamon and hazelnut) and Breakfast Blend are the BOMB.

Also, Tim Horton's is still my favorite - so that's an option too.

You forgot to specify "good coffee" drinkers.  We're all over the Aldi stuff in our house.

(why does someone who is not working need coffee?)

LOL, Hmo.

I think his three kids are reason enough for coffee.  Especially his daughter.  She's a delight, but has much to say.

 This is a great local coffee roaster here in RI. You can order online too!
