I bought a pound of one of his roasts one time and it completely blew away anything I've ever gotten from Rising Star. I also had a good espresso while I was there. I haven't been back since, but I plan on buying more of his beans soon. A word to the wise, this is not your Starbucks candy-coffee shop, if that's what you're looking for you're much better off finding one of those places. This is a place to go if you like the taste of actual coffee and want to enjoy the subtler aspects of coffee drinking.
