The coffee is great, and the people are great. The service is prompt for such a laid back place. There's plenty of cool spots to sit in there and enjoy your coffee. read more

I finally came by when this place was open for walk-up sales and free espresso. Today's sample was a dark roast Kenya AA, a strong but not bitter coffee. I chatted with the owner Seth who is passionate about his beans. I enjoyed the taste even without cream. I asked for him to grind the Guatemala coffee that I bought for a friend. He gladly complied. He removed a few bad beans as he poured the bag of beans into the grinder and grabbed another handful of beans to replace the beans he took out. I hope to sample more of his coffee. read more

I ordered coffee beans. I have not been in person. There is currently a free shipping deal with a 2-pound order. Great pricing even without the deal. Seth offered to talk coffee over the phone when I had a question. Best customer service there! They have a sampler of 4 different half-pound bags, whatever is roasting that week. I've ordered that twice and been happy both times. I ordered that for 2 friends. There is a gift service on the website. It emails the recipient either upon shipment or delivery saying who the gift is from. It's very useful. I ordered a pound of the Brazilian coffee beans, but they don't always have those. (selection changes often) it is my number one favorite coffee yet. Recently I ordered 2 pounds of the Thanksgiving blend. That was on special. There is a coffee subscription, but I'm not ready for that yet. Seth is a magician at using the smallest shipping container. He gets 2 pounds in a flat flat-rate priority mail envelope! It fits in my mailbox. He does only ship USPS. And it's coming from a small town in Arizona so it is not arriving overnight or anything. read more

Stopped by for a tasting of coffee of which I prefer a strong, bold, and flavorful. I bought a bag of his organic Bali freshly ground for me (espresso grind please) and have to say it is the absolute BEST coffee I've ever had!! Considering I come from Italy where espresso is an art, that's saying a lot!! Just ordered 2 more pounds! read more

I first tried Old Bisbee Roasters when I went to Bisbee for the weekend. I really enjoyed talking to the owner, who was very knowledgeable and generous to let us try various types of beans. The quality is great. I got the variety pack and it is wonderful. I am excited to try coffee from different areas of the world. The 1/2 lb bags fit perfectly in my espresso machine's hopper. I am really happy to find a roaster with great quality and fair prices. I love that I can get free and fast shipping if I order 2 lbs. Highly recommend! read more

Sign says "ask us about a free espresso!" So I walk in and ask how's it going? A gentleman quickly approached me, yelled at me to leave the building, not to stand where I was, and they are not open. Very condescending. I pointed out the sign inviting customers and he shooed me off to take a business call. Terrible impression, can't have a good business ran by someone like that. read more

Seth is a coffee guru. Stumbled in on a weekday he wasn't even open but still helped me out . Made fresh coffee from Kenya its was so good.. had to join the text list prices are reasonable for what you get in fact it's a steal. Just go if you're in town when he's open it's the best I've ever had!!! Just go and experience what a perfect cup of coffee is!!! read more

Amazing. Great. Best coffee on planet earth. Don't leave Bisbee without a bag or two.

We love Seth's coffee. When in Bisbee be sure and stop by his storefront. He offers free espresso shots so you can try his coffee. We buy the sample pack so that we can have a variety. He's so knowledgeable about coffee and he roasts it all right on the premises. read more

One must visit Bisbee and stay overnight. Cool town, then go and get a bean/coffee education from Seth ( owner). His prices are comparable to other Local beaneries. We like to support local businesses and ordered 2 full pounds of two different beans. The fragrant beans arrived within 3 days of ordering. Great guy great beans. read more

Old Bisbee Roasters - We can't wait to grind a sample these 2 different beans. Seth ( owner) is a great guy. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bisbee, Arizona

I am a drip coffee enthusiast. Burr grinder, sifter, correct temperature brewing, the whole nine yards. This is the only place I get my coffee from for home brewing. - Seth is a very nice guy, I met him a few times in Bisbee. - Coffee is roasted to order. Mailbox smells amazing upon arrival. - I specifically like the Colombian coffees and the Mocha Java that he sometimes has. Costa Rica is also a recent favorite, a nice surprise. Highly recommended. read more

These Beans are Excellent...The Beans have a Great Old Fashioned Deep Coffee Aroma, that Real Delicious Coffee Smell...If you chew on one of the beans to test them, they don't have a bitter side or bad taste, they taste very good...These beans seem well roasted and very good quality. Plus we had the pleasure of meeting Seth, what a character! He regaled us with stories of how, where, and why he purchased his beans while giving us free shots of expresso. If I could give 10 stars I would this place is a definite MUST TRY. read more

Old Bisbee Roasters - Seth is offering free shots! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bisbee, Arizona

I just wanted to say that I visited Old Bisbee roasters in January of 2022 for the first time and bought a couple bags. Since then I've become a subscriber and I gotta say every single coffee I've tried is amazingly delicious, fresh and just absolute perfection. Now let me explain something. I order and purchase from many roasters all across the US and I'm very picky. I can tell quality right away and I appreciate a coffee that makes me go "Ahhhhhh, there it is" at the first sip. I get that from Old Bisbee consistently and at this point I've bought at least a good 10lbs minimum from them. I have some favorites but the nice thing is that Seth always has something new to offer I've yet to try and I gotta try them all. I've turned a few other coffee lovers on to them as well and appreciate the excellent prices, free s&h (if you order 2lbs minimum) and that he supports small farms. I love knowing this as well as I love supporting small businesses. So glad I found this hidden gem in Bisbee when I did. read more

We have been loyal customers of Seth's company Old Bisbee Roasters for many years now. We live in Long Beach, CA and we use the subscription service. Have never experienced an order we didn't love. Seth roasts the beans on the day he ships them so you never have a stale batch. Best coffee ever. read more

I've been buying Bisbee coffee for years. I live in Phoenix and purchase online. It always shows up on time and I am always pleased with the quality. Thank you! read more

Fast fresh not too expensive. 4th time customer, use whenever I have enough cash for great coff

I live about 2,000 miles away and there are likely that many coffee roasters between Bisbee and my House... Still, this is my go to place for coffee. Seth, Naomi and Shayna (spelling) are always roasting up and shipping some of the best, tastiest and freshest beans anywhere. When I am not in Bisbee, we use our subscription. When we are in town, we stock up. If you stop in, you will find some great, down to earth people. On this trip, my mother and I drove in from Phoenix. We called ahead to make sure they would be open. Seth was happy to keep the door open for us. We pulled in and were quickly welcomed into the establishment. Seth gave us a tour of the pallets of new coffee that just came in. Dr. Long, the dentist from next door, walked in with some Cognac XO. I guess it was happy hour at Old Bisbee Roasters. Dr. Long poured some glasses for me, Seth and my mother. It was an awesome treat! After much chit chat, we walked out with 10lbs of coffee. I had an espresso of Ethiopian and it was so damned tasty!!!! On Saturday, we are going to visit "Peddler's Alley" to get another free sample. Can't wait. read more

Great coffee, great people! What more to say? My preferred coffee for sure!

Stumbled across this quaint local coffee roaster in the Hippie capital of Arizona - maybe the world. I am both a coffee snob and a coffee whore. If there is good coffee available, I'm all in and refuse to compromise. However there have been times when reheated truck stop coffee was the best I could do, and I did it. I'm not proud. HOWEVER - there is no compromise here. He gave me a shot and I was hooked, like a junkie. My arms itch when I cant get this stuff. So bold, so smooth, so rich - so unlike my ex-husband. Fortunately I can get this online when I'm back in Los Angeles. Cant wait to return. read more

Great coffee and the owner, Seth is such a good guy!

Those of you reading my reviews know that I appreciate good coffee. It's what I call an inexpensive luxury. Yes it costs more than supermarket coffee, but it's a wonderful treat to give yourself for not much more money. This one is a particular favorite of mine for two reasons. It's truly artisanal in that the owner runs it and make sure it all goes well. He's a nice guy and most importantly this coffee can be bought at Whole Foods markets and it's less expensive than those other artisanal coffees I enjoy. You should give it a try. read more

Great coffee! We had a free taste in Bisbee, and now we order it online! Fresh and delicious coffee from all over the world!

I'm not as active on Yelp as I used to be (my local Yelp community is awful), but I had to leave a positive review for this place. I was visiting family in Douglas and wanted to walk around Bisbee a bit, having already seen Tombstone (which you should also check out). Pretty much the word coffee is going to catch my eye and we happened to walk by this place and were greeted by the owner. Just FYI it isn't a coffee shop really. While he does sell brewed coffee there, this is a brick and mortar building for his mail business. We were greeted by the owner, Seth, and offered a free Burundi espresso. Even though you could tell he was in the middle of something, he stopped and made time for us and chatted up my kids. We ended up buying a pound of Sumatra and took back to California which I'm drinking now. It is fantastic. Give him a chance. If you're not near Bisbee you can have it mailed! read more

All you have to do is take one look at the beautiful dark beans and one sip of the beautiful dark coffee and you will understand that all coffees are not created equal. I just realized I am out of my coffee and am desperate for my next shipment. Meantime, yuck coffee for me so hurry my order! read more

Positively delicious honey lavender latte served by the nicest people in Bisbee. And for those who like real coffee, they have some of the best beans in the West. Do a coffee tasting and you'll see. My friends in the Pacific Northwest actually ship coffee from here because they "can't find anything as good locally"... Definite locals vibe. read more

Seth has the best personality! We tried the Kenya Coffee rich flavor along with a deep, pleasant aroma, distinctly bold full body. You can find him in the hippie town Bisbee and also order online......must taste and order that coffee!! read more

Old Bisbee Roasters - Seth has the best personality and best coffee! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bisbee, Arizona

Really good coffee. So-so WiFi. Salsa for the breakfast burrito was the best I've ever had.

Superb in every respect. I'm a bit of a coffee fanatic, and I've tried roasters from coast to coast. The coffees from Old Bisbee are an order of magnitude finer than any other I've sampled. Seth seeks out the finest small batch coffees in the world, with an ever changing selection. The beans are small batch roasted, and his employees are trained to sample the beans as the roast progresses to stop the process when peak flavor is achieved. The coffee always brews rich and think. I've seen a two finger crema evolve in a large french press, and I've seen espresso shots pour pure cream. I served these roasts in a Tucson restaurant for some time and developed a devoted breakfast clientele until the owner opted for a less expensive bean elsewhere. I serve it at home, and on camping trips, and to date I have never heard anyone claim to know of a better roast. Free overnight shipping in Arizona, the same day the beans are roasted. Free two day shipping anywhere in the U.S... this is unmatchable service. I buy craft coffee, craft beer, craft mustard. Seth has more passion for coffee than most people have for anything in life, and his roasts are THE finest gourmet product I've ever sampled. read more

I have been ordering my coffee from Seth at Old Bisbee Roasters for approximately 4 or 5 years. Yep, I live in the SF Bay Area, a veritable coffee mecca, but get my coffee from a guy in Bisbee, AZ. That says a lot about the product quality and customer service provided by Old Bisbee Roasters. Order two lbs. of coffee and get free shipping. When I place an order, I get a shipping confirmation the same day. Two days later, my mail box smells really good, because there's coffee in it. That's fast service! I like the fact that the coffee comes from small suppliers from all over the world. The types of coffee offered varies seasonally, although I believe the blends are always available. read more

Outstanding. Superior. Excellent. Addictive. Probably some of the best coffees I have ever had. I truly cannot come up with enough superlatives for these fabulous beans. I am a Midwesterner-former Phoenician-now Chicagoan who first visited Old Bisbee Roasters last January and am now smitten for life. Yeah, we could be buying locally roasted Intelligentsia and Metropolis but frankly? Old Bisbee Roasters has converted us. Our first mail order was the Sumatra - absolutely exquisite. Bold, strong, yet smooth - luscious. When I went to place another online order, Sumatra was no longer an option for awhile so we ordered the Ethiopian Guji Natural Sidamo and the Uganda Bugisu. OMG. We are in Coffee-freaking NIRVANA. Even my 4-5 cup per day coffee addict mother is a fan. I just sent her 2 lbs of the aforementioned coffees in decaf version and when I asked her to rate them on a scale of 1 to 10, she said "TEN!" I can't tout you enough. I applaud your efforts to support family-owned farms and co-operatives. Your website is informative; you have great customer service; I love the email notifications; and hey - free U.S.P.S Priority shipping on 2 lb orders? HellO! Fantastic! Note: living in Chicago, I hope you realize that it is no mean astonishing logistical feat that our coffee always arrives in TWO DAYS. Unreal given our "Worst Postal Office in the Country" status. Seth, I don't know what you do or how you do it, but you have us hook, line and sinker. Kudos to you! Yelpers - order the coffee & tell them Deborah E from Chgo sent you. If you too aren't smitten, your next cup of coffee is on me. But, you DO realize what coffee that will be, yes? read more

When traveling through Bisbee you have to check out this place! Coffee beans are roasted in small batches and are packaged in little brown bags. When you order online they personalize the bags with your name on it! Seth has a small stand set up down the street in a little alley with other food joints and vendors. So make sure you say hi and get a free coffee when you visit. read more

Hands down the finest coffee roasting and purchasing experience, which led to conclude that it is worthwhile to support small business who truly care about small batch roasting, the farmers, and their customers. The Timor Maube roast is absolutely exquisite, a delight to the palate with its smooth and subtle body yet delightful butterscotch finish. Crema is exceptional when using for espresso and aftertaste is soothing and long lasting. Old Bisbee Coffee Roaster's customer service has been first rate, and nothing less than artfully executed...no matter if I have questions about a specific roast or make a mistake in an order. For such a small business, the staff is world class in their kindness, warmth, responsiveness, attention to detail and unheard off shipping speed. read more

I've been ordering OBR coffee for years, figured a review is long overdue. Can't remember the last time I purchased coffee from anywhere else. Seth is the BEST! PERIOD! Always fresh, roasted to perfection, great selection, personal service, Seth's personal reviews, what more could you ask for. I have never been disappointed. Gave some Guatemala Rio Azul to a friend for Christmas...he's now asking me where he can get it. Everyone who tries it, loves OBR coffee! read more

Seth is hands down one of the best people I've ever met. This is a superb company, totally deserving of your business. And the coffee -- among the best I've ever had. They'll ship anywhere in the US (arrives within two days) and to any APO (for all my military friends). Seth, the owner, goes out of his way to sell only the very best product. If you're ever in Bisbee, AZ (best town in the state as far as I'm concerned), be sure to stop by his shop or stand on the main drag and try a free shot of espresso -- yep, its so good, he just gives shots away for free, because the product speaks for itself and you're hooked after the first sip. And, he's an amazing guy to hang out with as well! I'm a customer for life. read more

Everything I said in my prior review stands. A week ago, I got a very nice email apologizing, promising some free coffee as a an apology gift. They did send free coffee. To the wrong address, an address I haven't been at for almost three years. It's almost too ironic. I replied to the email alerting them to the issue. Two weeks on, no reply. This, I'm afraid, perfectly captures how this business has changed since Seth himself distanced himself from the mail order side. I wish them the best. But there are a lot of mail order coffee services out there. And most of them manage to get coffee to the right address, more often than not. Visit them in Bisbee. Join a different coffee club. Regrettably I have. read more
