I love this roaster so much, all the way from Utah. Nothing beats the taste!! I always buy from this roaster for gifts too and everybody loves it. read more

Everyone has their favorite coffee Roastery -- this is mine even though I live far away in Arizona. The beans are consistently perfectly roasted, and the coffee I can make from them is smooth and rich and delicious. I've been there -- there is absolutely no way they are sending out burnt beans. The distance between the roaster and their stock is 10 steps max, and because of this they can send out the best coffee beans possible. LOVE the Red Bird Espresso and the Blackbird beans. I am addicted! read more

Selected several coffees as a test All burnt to equal measure destroying whatever goodness may have existed Complete waste read more

Their breakfast blend coffee is absolutely amazing and I haven't drank anything other for a year now. And years to come!

My 5lb package was delivered with a gash in the side, spilling beans all over the floor. Absolutely no sympathy from Red Bird, who told me it was the Post Office's fault, so I should go talk to them. No more Red Bird for me. read more

I've ordered their Red Bird Espresso for about a year now and it is truly delicious. Beans are roasted perfectly...espresso I never get tired of. I've also never had any issues with their shipping, as their website provides info on average shipping time, etc. and is always in line with that. Highly recommend! read more

Great coffee, but bad customer service. I received a 5lb bag of espresso beans with a huge gash cut in the side. I have no idea how long this bag was open and exposed, or what might have crawled into it, but Red Bird was not interested in helping me with an exchange. So unfortunately, and despite how delicious the coffee is, it's not worth wasting $65 on coffee you can't drink because the company won't replace damaged goods. What a shame. read more

Red Bird Coffee - the inside of a box - Coffee Roasteries Near Me

You can only have Major Dickasons so many times before you start wanting something with more... character. Red Bird Coffee is so good that once I found it, I no longer felt the need to look anywhere else. I live out in California but the coffee gets here extremely fast. Not once have I wondered "where the heck is my delivery?" And the prices are more than reasonable-- although if they went up any higher it would be beyond my personal budget. I like to switch things up between their African coffees and South American coffees... this is probably an inaccurate generalization, but the African ones seem more aromatic and have more fruity, sweet flavors-- while some of the Guatemalan or Costa Rican one's don't pack that same nostril punch, but go down amazingly well. The coffees also have a more beautiful "bloom" than your typical Peet's or Tea Leaf bag you get at the market. There is something about Red Bird coffee that is beyond your average coffee. It's truly exceptional. I've probably tried 10+ roasts from Red Bird, and not a single one was disappointing. At the very worst, some of them are merely "good"-- rather than incredible. I don't know much about coffee, but I could swear that new aromas and flavor profiles emerge with time-- sometimes I'll open the bag a week after delivery, and it seems more pungent. Maybe I'm nuts though... I'm reluctant to give anything on Yelp 5 stars unless it's truly worthy-- but Red Bird Coffee fits the bill. And did I mention that it's Fair Trade? Red Bird is an absolute gem. In fact I have a separate tab open right now, ready to order my next two 1lb bags... can't wait for them to get here. Top notch customer service, top notch coffee. read more

When you buy freshly roasted coffee beans, a consistent delivery schedule is extremely important, and this is the aspect Red Bird fails hard at. I've had issues with their shipping schedule more than any other place I've bought my coffee from. They may randomly decide to schedule "maintenance" - which may result in your coffee not being shipped for 4,5 days after you order (and I really mean: 4.5 days *on top* of whatever our dear USPS is doing). This inconsistency makes it impossible to plan. Their customer service response was basically: "Your order may ship in 0-5 days, we just don't know and, frankly, don't care!" When I asked them, well, can you put your maintenance schedule on the website so I can see that there will be a substantial delay, they said, no, we don't schedule maintenance, we just do it when we feel like it. Needless to say, in the future, I will be ordering my coffee from people who understand what reliable shipping means. read more

I've been ordering Red Bird Espresso for a few years now in the 5 Lb bag. No other coffee roaster I've tried comes close to their great taste and quality. Customer service was amazing when an issue arises (& they will with any company) and this is where good companies like this shine. I live in S. Illinois and they have always delivered promptly with the freshest and most flavorful results in my experience. I've tried many roasters close to home and where I travel for work and they are the best I've found. Only wish I'd have visited them when I was in Montana recently to meet the team. Thanks for the great start to my day Red Bird! B.W. read more

I've been a regular mail order customer for several years now. I stray away every so often to try something new, but always come back. The price is right especially if you invest in a five pound bag. I'm a huge fan of the Red Bird Espresso. It was first brought to my attention when people on an espresso forum were raving about the snickers bar flavors. It really did taste like chocolate, peanuts, and caramel then. Since then the flavor profile has changed, because weather and other factors have changed, but it's still delicious. ordering another five pounds today after suffering through what sounded like great coffee from another roaster. I will add that the service, quality, and value has been impeccable. Bozeman is on my bucket list simply because after what seems like 20 some-odd orders I have to visit someday. Sending a well deserved thank you to everyone at Red Bird. I've tried dozens of the other notable roasters, some great, some good, but none that I always go back to. Red Bird Espresso has my house espresso for over 10 years. I have enjoyed the single origin offerings over the years as well. read more

Awesome coffee! Always order their espresso roast 5lbs bag. The coffee beans are not oily, very friendly to the machine and the aroma is absolutely great. Highly recommended! Been hooked for the past 4 years. read more

I just had another great customer service experience with Red Bird and it's prompted me to write a review. I've been a their mail order customer for over 7 years and it's truly hard to find such a good product along with great customer service these days. Our go-to bean is 5 pounds of RedBird Espresso Blend which we always grind fresh and prepare as espresso with milk. Awesome! Their coffee has stayed amazingly consistent and tasty over the years. Immediately after receiving a 5 pound shipment, we vacuum-pack the beans into bags or mason jars and then freeze. When we run out of fresh beans, we just grab another bag/jar from the freezer and dump it into our grinder. This method guarantees good taste and plenty of crema even a month or two after receiving the beans. The freezing helps, but the vacuum-packing is really the key. Long live Red Bird Coffee! read more

Best beans out there, folks!!! My Dad has been ordering beans from Red Bird for years & I have benefited by taking a pound or two every time I go home for the weekend. Now that I am in the real world with a real job...I figured it was time to start ordering my own beans to ensure my mornings could continue starting off well with a daily latte. Ordering from here is easy with payment through Paypal. I love the small business touches such as a personal e-mail noting when your order will be roasted & a nice surprise of little chocolates shipped with your order. The five pound bag is a steal for the quality of beans...and shipping is included in the price! read more

Jeff offers a high quality product at a good price, and the service is personal and exceptional. I have been ordering nearly all of my espresso beans from RedBird lately, for a variety of reasons. There are more prestigious beans out there, but for the money RedBird is a much better value and just about as good. I find that RedBird espresso beans tend to taste fresh longer than other high end beans that I have tried. I appreciate that the coffee is roasted to order, and typically arrives just before it is at its peak brewing characteristic. read more

I've been a mail order customer for over 5 years. Found them when I was looking for peaberry beans, since then I've become a steady consumer of their Red Bird Expresso blend and have sampled various single origin beans, finally settling on their Ethiopia Yirgacheffe-Gedeb Chelchele for my french press. They fill orders and ship promptly so that the beans have a roast date in the same week arrive. Love their coffee and would love to visit in person some day. read more

It's been at least four, five, maybe six years, I've lost count already as the time is flying by, that I've been buying the five pound bag of Espresso beans from Jeff. Redbird got my attention in a post made on H-B Forum and I called Jeff after that. We had a fine conversation, told him that I've been buying high quality beans from some of the top roasters in the country for my 1977 Cremina 67 lever espresso machine. It's not only a Swiss Classic, the Cremina, coupled with a Macap M4 grinder makes phenomenal espresso. Well, since that day, I've been a regular customer. The Redbird Espresso roast also makes very tasty French Press coffee, ground more coarser. Treat yourself to coffee that's roasted correctly, ships fast and with excellent communication. Highly recommended! read more

I have ordered from several places over the years when choosing beans for my Rocket Espresso machine. I use a Mazza grinder as well. I found Red Bird Coffee through a review and thought I would give them a try. I have used Lavazza and was disappointed in the freshness and taste. I bought beans locally as well and those were OK but just did not give the result I expected from my machine. When I tried the Espresso roast from Red Bird, it was a surprise. The aroma was perfect and the crema was what I had expected all along. I have tried Jaguar but I return to Espresso as my bean of choice. I buy the 5 pound bag and enjoy every bit of it. As others have mentioned, the service and shipping times are great. You know that you have just received a bag of freshly roasted beans ready for that first cup of espresso or a cappucino. The personal touches are a bonus and I encourage Red Bird Coffee to continue those. It is that personal touch that makes the deal one between friends. read more

I have been a regular customer since late 2016 and couldn't be happier with Red Bird's roasting quality and shipping consistency. Have been enjoying their Brazil Sweet Blue blend which has the most delightful chocolate taste. I rarely ever start a day without a couple mugs of this golden nectar. Super nice folks there at Red Bird. You can't go wrong! read more

Best coffee roster I've ever had ,glad I found them ,really like the Ethiopian blends

Red Bird Coffee is one of my favorite small businesses to work with. I usually order a 5lb bag of one of of one of their Brazilian coffees. They are prompt, the beans are fresh, not oily and work beautifully in my espresso machine. When I shop with them, I also feel good because the coffee is sustainably sourced and socially responsible. read more

I have to say this is the best coffee I've ever had in my life. I tried a lot of the fancy coffee shops in Bay area...But Red bird expresso just put all of them into shame..It's very easy to brew and hard to mess it up. Even the coffee beans I used to love illy's, lavazza, intelligentsia , blue bottle...they all faded in front of red bird espresso. read more

I drink mostly espresso and have tried beans from some of the highly regarded roasters CC, SM, I, and many local places. I keep coming back to RedBirds for quality, consistency and price point. Like others have mentioned, it is really difficult to even try to pull a bad shot with RedBird, that's attesting to the high quality of the product. Using their parameters I get a sweet nuttiness with a distinct hint of Amaretto...Love it! Did I mention Free Shipping with a 5lb order, which I freeze in resealable jars purchased at HomeGoods. Jeff even throws in a bunch of free, but AWESOME mini chocolates. I look forward to cleaning my Compak K10 each time I get a new shipment. You won't be disappointed!!! read more

I have been a fan and long time drinker of espresso but only recently got myself a home machine. We started off with the third wave SF roasters beans which were all very good (Ritual, Blue bottle etc). I decided to try an order from Red bird based on strong reviews on the Home Barista forum (https://www.home-barista.com/) and boy am I glad I did! Both the Red bird and blue jaguar espressos are excellent with a dark chocolatey and nutty flavor profile. We drink both beans as espressos, americanos or in milk based drinks (cortados and cappuccinos). I also have some Brazil Sweet Blue in the cupboard to try out as a single origin espresso in the next round. Customer service and delivery are all outstanding as well. We are in San Francisco and always get our order within three to four days. Once you have tried out which beans you like best, get a 5lb bag and save on the shipping charge (shipping free on 5lb quantities). This is a fantastic Mom and Pop business delivering a great product, ethically and responsibility. Order some today and you won't be sorry! read more

Now, those of us who are serious about our coffee will go to great lengths to find small, micro-roasters of outstanding quality offering freshly roasted beans. Sure, for those of us in the San Francisco Bay Area, there are a lot to choose from -- but for my money, none come close to Red Bird Coffee. A click away, their website offers a variety of speciality coffees only roasted *after* you order, and shipped the very same day. Their prices are extremely affordable, the quality is outstanding, and the customer service impeccable. read more

I have ordered coffee online from Redbird for a while now, and it always shipped very quickly and the Redbird espresso and the Sweet Brazil Blue are my favs. Always get a freshly roasted bag, and I love the packaging, and quality is consistently excellent. I noticed they recently increased their prices, but its still an excellent value for the money for the quality of beans you get. I have tried different roasters, but have always come back to Redbird. read more

I've been ordering beans from Red Bird for almost a year now and I have to say one thing and one thing only: Red Bird Espresso is the best espresso money can buy. Period. I've gone through dozens of different beans from all of the top roasters, different temperatures, different weights, local roasters, national roasters, etc. I have espresso down to a science - Red Bird Espresso is absolutely amazing coffee. It doesn't really get any better than this. I've had espresso all over Europe and while certain micro cafes in Italy might have incredible on-par espresso (and maybe even better, but you're on vacation, everything is better) Red Bird is just the best. I don't know what I'd do if Red Bird wasn't around. The best espresso period. read more

This is the best coffee I have had hands down! I use the pour over method almost exclusively for my home brewing. Red Bird Espresso is my favorite. It's rich and creamy and always perfect in my chemex! I live in North Carolina and have it shipped to my house. The roast date on the bag is usually the date it is shipped and it arrives in a few days. Very fresh even across the country! I've tried local roasters all over North Carolina and the East Coast but nothing comes close. I hope to some day visit in person. read more

I have been ordering coffee from Red Bird for a couple of years now, and I was never disappointed. The coffee is outstanding, in line with top notch roasters. It definitely surpasses that of the green corporate siren. And, the price is very reasonable. read more

Never written a review on yelp before. But they deserve it for the awesome service and the really great blends. I am a big fan of the signature Red Bird Espresso, but you can't go wrong with the other choices as well. A must buy for fresh coffee lovers. read more

This is absolutely the best coffee I have ever had. The carriers blend is my personal favorite that they carry not to mention the customer service I get when I am running low I put my order in and it is fast and efficient delivery also they send those sweet chocolate Santander bars. I could not say enough how Red Bird Coffee has out done themselves. The best part of drinking Red Bird Coffee is when I grind the beans and it lingers through my home! Thank you to the Naffzigers great job!! read more

I have tried beans from some of the best roasters in the country. Then I stumbled on Red Bird after reading a review of their beans. Have been a customer ever since. I now order the 5 Ib bags, split it among a few friends and save on shipping. Good service, great price and most importantly, FANTASTIC coffee beans !!!!! Thanks Jeff. read more

Brewing espresso is not always easy, but I just can't seem to mess up the Red Bird Espresso blend. It always drips out a wonderful reddish brown and tastes perfect. The 1lb bag is a great deal! read more

I searched for a long time for the perfect Espresso blend for my semi-automatic machine. The Red Bird Espresso is the perfect match! The taste is absolutely delicious and the beans produce a beautiful crema. I cannot recommend this coffee more highly! read more

I have tried just about every espresso bean there is but once I found Red Bird Blue Jaguar, there is no point trying anything else. I LOVE it and have been ordering it for well over a year. They are consistently delicious and always arrive quickly considering they are roasted upon ordering. read more

I don't remember the first time I bought a 5 pound bag of red bird espresso, but over the years I've had several pleasant conversations with the owner, and explored the range of offerings. Hands down, the best beans I've ever bought, the service is great, and the prices are kept as low as possible. JP is a great asset to the coffee industry read more

Red Bird hits the sweet spot with reasonable prices and excellent customer service. I'm not sure which I look more forward to after placing my order, the coffee or the several pieces of cacao they always include. read more

As a business owner I appreciate those that have a passion and an intimate knowledge of their business. Jeff is a perfect example of that. He has gone so far out of his way for us, working with our barista's to get the absolute best out of his outstanding products. He has made a special blend for our businesses. And he has personally delivered it for us too many times to count. He is that silent business partner you hope for in a supplier. read more
