| - After I found out some of the local coffee shops I liked used a local roaster, I went looking online for these guys. After ordering from them the first time, it became apparent I needed to step up my home coffee game - I used to buy the coffee sold at Whole Foods that they roast there which is okay but improperly stored, so unless you get it right when it's roasted, you're not getting anything special.
CRCR is always quick to get my order to me within a few days of being placed, and it's always great, since it's properly sealed and fresh. My personal favorite is the Ethiopan Sidamo coffee, which is only available during certain times of year, sadly - they say it's got blueberry hints, these are really apparent when the coffee is super fresh: last time I had the Sidamo, I got it a day or two after roasting, the first few brews from that batch had more than a "hint" of blueberry... delicious! Other than that, I'm a fan of the Rio/Java blend and the Brazil Microlots, both of which are kind of "chocolatey" (made up word, but you get the drift). This is coffee you don't need any cream or sugar for.
I love what I get from these guys and wholeheartedly recommend everyone buy from them. They've become my go-to for coffee, though I'll occasionally order from other places like Cuvee or La Colombe for variety's sake, it's really hard to beat getting coffee so fresh so fast through the mail. It's a little more expensive than just buying beans at the store, but worth spending the extra $6-8.
