I have been getting coffee beans for years from Specialty Java and have consistently been delighted and impressed with the quality of their beans, as well as how delicious the roasting is. I live in an area that centers around a university and is considered to be one of the best educated cities in the states. Coffee roasters are in abundance. I have bought coffee here to try to cut down on shipping costs. I always end up unhappy and craving really excellent coffee that has been made from delicious beans that have been roasted correctly. My guests always comment on how good my coffee is when I have made it from Specialty Java beans. The absolute best! read more

Excellent coffee! They roast the beans for you after you place your order. You can also get a free funny magnet of your choice with your order, which I'm a complete sucker for. They ship the beans right to you using whatever shipping carrier you prefer. read more

I have been a Specialty Java customer many many years! Their products are exceptionally good, and their customer support services are exceptional! PERIOD. Specialty Java (http://specialtyjava.com/index.htm) offers a wide variety of coffees that are sure to please... the freshness and tastes to make each cup a delightful treat you deserve. It .might take a couple of selections to find JUST THAT ONE you prefer over all others. Or you may try a couple of varieties and find that you enjoy all of them... preferring one for breakfast and others for other times throughout your day. Back WHEN... when I first found SJ just imagine my delight when the first order sent EXPRESS DELIVERY via DHL arrived STILL WARM in the box! All THREE of those "bloated: bags of coffee" just waiting for me to gently squeeze and inhale the aroma of MY freshly roasted coffee escaping the little one way valves!!! NOW THAT is one of life's very special moments for a coffee lover! I did not even open the bags until all the WARM was gone, and I had expelled all the delightful aromas!!! Back then I tried Sumatra, NY-NY, and Smooth Jazz on my first order... I never got past those three... I STILL DRINK THEM to this day. I enjoy them still. Any other great coffee flavors I need to experience, I TRUST I will discover at restaurants or the homes of friends. Regular or Decaf, WHOLE Bean or Ground... Specialty Java has you covered! They offer several different grind choices if you desire to buy pre-ground coffee. Disappointed with supermarket coffee in your Keurig? Consistently weak coffee because of the grind? HOWEVER... IF you have a Keurig, Specialty Java will grind your coffee for JUST THAT coffee brewing device. On their website that grind was not specified last time I ordered from them. BUT after choosing Drip Method for brewing, NOTE in the Special Instructions/Comments box "Grind for Keurig" and you are all set. This grind is finer than regular drip grinds in the supermarket but is not just a fine powder. Personally I found that store bought ground coffee was a little too coarse to get a good cup of coffee using the refillable k-cup substitutes. It was a slightly frustrating experience looking for the right reusable k-cup substitute & the right filter insert! ALL of the screen mesh reusables benefit from using a filter insert to minimize the fines getting through the mesh into the bottom of your cup. (Occasionally paper filters will break. Sometimes filters break if too much coffee is used & they rupture as the coffee swells once wet.) After that A GOOD CUP OF COFFEE from a Keurig is ALL ABOUT THE GRIND. You can choose to grind your own for each cup which is not too practical... or you can grind small batches and fill several k-cups ahead. However, most home grinders are not very consistent in grind because of TIME of grinding OR because of the METHOD of grinding. FOR ME, it is easier to let SJ send me the "Keurig Grind" and be done with it. These good folks have been roasting & selling fine coffee for almost 15 years to HAPPY customers. I became a customer way back when... so long ago that I do not even remember. Then it was one facility just a short distance from the shores of Lake Superior... and now they have GROWN and continue to roast fine coffee for everyone to enjoy! read more
