I’m not much for joining things but with the amount of experimenting planned, it may be the best way to taste various coffees unavailble as whole bean locally.
One I’ve heard good things about is Boca Java.
Since most beans are only considered Roaster Fresh for roughly 45 days after roasting (half that if the coffee is pre-ground) finding a company that will only roast your coffee when you order makes sense.
They also label each bag you order with the date your coffee was roasted. That takes care of the ‘sell by’ date on it like in the grocery store. which has always made me wonder – sell by for the store or sell to the store by the roaster…hmmm.

What’s interesting for me is that my order is based on my personal schedule and it can be modified by me. Which means I get shipping notification by email if I need to change anything, there’s still time before it gets sent. Most clubs send you a notice and you end up getting the darn thing the same day the ‘Oops, I didn’t want that one” shows up at the door.
If you’re a member of Boca Java’s club or any other, let me know your experience buying coffee this way.
