Cafe Imports possibly? I don't have personal experience with them but my old boss has started buying from them and so far no problems. I'm going to give them a try this summer when I get my roaster set up and see how they are for my self.

Are you home roasting or roasting for a cafe? aka how many beans at a time and what regions?  Do you have a roaster already?

those are a few I have used in the past, and you can always do some leg work and contact a farmer/ farm rep if your lucky (which is what part of my week now consists of!)

coffee-importers.com is one that I have used.

They have a great variety and will sell green beans down to a pound, for a good price. Good service, and selection.  There are a ton of coffee importers, just google coffee importers and you'll find a bunch. Don't forget shipping costs, it may be wise to find an importer close to you if you plan on buying large quantities.

Also Atlas coffee, atlasscoffee.com

Don't have the roaster yet but want to have it in a few months. Will want to buy around 100 pounds at a time.

Those sites are a good start, but honestly there are many many places you can go to find.  Look up Steve at

Thanks for your help. Do you have a region or bean that you really like to buy from and why?

Thats a rough question, I am partial to liking certain regions yes but I would say the best lots I have had by and large come from coffee shrub.  They cost a little bit more but if you have the market for them it is worth it...but remember they may only be a temporary lot.
