"We made the
mistake of purchasing one of those "pod" style coffee makers.
Needless to say we were back to your New York New York blend (and
our drip coffee maker) after three days. Those stale pods must have
been pre-packaged months before. They can't begin to compare with
your rich, fresh roasted blends! Keep doing what you're doing. (We
will never stray again!)"
Jeannine Acker
Plymouth, Minnesota
"Very good coffee and
good variety. Really like New York New York and Velvet Soul. I try others
at every order, but these are our favorites."
Richard Waddle

"the coffee is delicious! i had to cut to about half-caf,
so i ordered regular and decaf in three kinds--New York, Sumatra,
and Kenya AA. My favorite changes every time I have a cup!"
Michele Martin
Anmoore, West Virginia
"The New York New York blend is wonderful. It is a
fabulously smooth brew with fantastic flavor. I can't wait to try
the Tanzanian Peaberry. You have a permanent customer."
Thurston Harris

"Best Coffee I have ever had..period. (New York New
York)"
Rick Neidlinger
Wilson, Kansas
"I am a new account but so far really impressed
with the delivering and the follow ups on your end. When I first
opened the New York type coffee, you could see the oils still in the
bean. Beautiful. The coffee today that most people purchase in a
store, like you said had been sitting sometime from picking to
actual retail. you never see any oils. So even though I a new
customer, you got me hooked. The freshness of the product is some of
the very best I had seen. I am a chef and very familiar with coffee
products. Keep up the great customer service."
Richard Krayewsky
South Ryegate, Vermont
"I used to buy from you when I
owned Brew Horizons in Rehoboth Beach, when it existed. Just wanted
some New York New York for our personal use. It was great coffee and
we enjoyed doing business with you. Hope all is well."
Deborah Schwartz.
Rehoboth Beach, Delaware
"My son lives in
the Cities, he recommended your wonderful coffee and gave us a gift
certificate. We really enjoyed the New York New York in our first
order and decided to stick with what we like, so here is another
order. We appreciate the very fast service. Thanks."
Marilyn Anderson

"Very good taste: New York, New York & Sumatra. I
haven't tried any others, yet."
Glenda Noble

"I love all your coffees. the aromas drive the delivery
lady crazy. But I've had to switch to decaf. I enjoy the NY NY but
am looking forward to your new decaf."
Bonnie Cole
Farmdale, Ohio
"I ordered the 14 oz size of New York-New York and Rockin' Java, as
well as a sample of Espresso Italiano. So far, I've tried the New
York and the Espresso -- both are great. I will definitely order
from Specialty Java again."
Melinda Boyd

"Thanks for great deal on the free package of NYNY coffee! I am
forwarding this message to at least 5 friends who also love a great
cup of coffee. Thanks!!"
Michael Bohl
Castroville, Texas
"I
am really enjoying the Smooth Jazz & the New York/NY. The Velvet
Soul is a little light for my tastes. I seem to prefer the darker
roasts but I'm relatively new to coffee drinking even though I'm 57
in a few days. I'll be trying other types as time goes on as I'm
very curious to see what the differences are."
John Borella
Danielson, Connecticut
"The New York, New York is great!"
Spencer Lerum
Mayer, Minnesota
"I recently purchased (3) of your blended coffees, which is
something I rarely do (i.e., prefer "single origin" coffees). I
Started with the "Paradise" blend, and just finished the "New York"
"New York" blend ... truly enjoyed both! "Velvet Soul " is next, and
I hope it will yield the same results as the other two! I don't know
if it's my Technivorm brewer that brings out the best in this coffee
or, if it's the other way around ... either way, I win! I haven't
tried a press pot yet, but that's next. Actually, I decided not to
wait, and just placed my second order today ... trying three more
blends. If they're as good as what I've had so far, I think you have
a "new" customer!"
Dave Charvella
Rochester, New York

Richard Ludders

"Good coffee & espresso goes hand in hand with a good espresso
machine and I've found this combo with your NY/NY & authentico
espresso beans and my new Gaggia machine.I've been brewing for 17
yrs & think I've reached perfection."
Tripoldi

"New
burr grinder is working well. Enjoyed NY NY, now on to my favorite
-- Paradise!"
Charlotte Sellers
Seymour, Indiana
"Neither the New York nor the Blue Mountain had any
bite to it whatsoever and it was absolutely delicious. What causes
the bite that shelf coffee causes, if you know?"
Linda Clark
Englewood, Florida
"The
Guatemalan FT is an excellent anytime coffee. Also got the Rockin'
Java and NY NY blends both of which are very good full bodied
coffees but am partial to the Guatemalan. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Brad."
Brad Whitehouse
Carnegie, Oklahoma
"I've served the New York New York decaf to guests
several times recently and everyone comments on the fantastic
flavor! The NYNY regular is one of my favorites as well. I can't
wait to get up in the morning to grind and brew my first cup of the
day!"
Mary Wroblewski

Ellen Green

"Hi!, Though I'm no expert on the different Varieties
of coffee I sure do know a GREAT cup of coffee and I have truly
found THE PERFECT CUP!!!!! I have tried a few gourmet brands but
never thought they were worth the cost of reordering....New York/New
York is AWESOME!! I can't wait to try other varieties so I'M
ordering again, within a week of receiving my first order, I would
Hate to run out, no more mediocre coffee for me!!!! Thank you for a
delightful experience and I sooooo look forward to my next shipment.

"Thanks so much for answering all of my questions
before I placed my order! What great customer service...and I was
really excited that they were answered by the actual roast master. A
definite first in my coffee ordering experience. I ordered the reg
and decaf sample packs of Rock' N Java and New York New York since
I'm a half caf drinker (I know, I know). I've had a hard time making
great coffee at home but you've definitely won me over! Both were
fantastic and I'll be placing another order soon."
Jan Bosch

"BEST" coffee I've had... i never was much on coffee
cause of taste and bitterness... not anymore.. just can't wait to
get up in the morning and enjoy my ny.ny."
Rod Cole
Tallahassee, Florida
"So far, NYNY and Smooth Jazz are outstanding in my
opinion. The pure Columbian seems a bit mild mannered to me but
good. Due to hurried and harried holidays, we have not tried the
other two yet. Never had bags that were zip-lock as well as valved
before... a big plus!!!"
Grant Gehlbach
Rock Hill, South Carolina
"Enjoying the New York New York immensely! Will
order this again and look forward to trying new types in the future.
Keep up the good work!!!"

Jack Schweizer
Lancaster, California
"I have ordered and
sampled the New York New York. It is the best coffee I have ever
had. I consider myself a coffee snob. I seek out the best all over
Manhattan, where i work every day. I found the best New York coffee
on the internet. Thanks."

of coffee."

Up my driveway comes big bags of NYNY. Excellent coffee! Such nice
folks to do business with."
Andrew Parnell

New York, New York! It's so smooth and not bitter compared to some
of the "gourmet" coffees I've bought. Our friends have also really
enjoyed it! Thanks for a GOOD coffee!"
Paula Soderquist
Chanhassen, Minnesota
"Ok, we're ruined!
My husband and I go on vacation and all we can think is..."We can't
wait to get home and have some good coffee!" Not only is this coffee
outstanding in flavor but and exceptional value! The service is fast
and my emails have always been responded to with a personal touch.
We have tried several that were amazing but New York New York and
the Panamanian are so far our favorites. The personalized labeling
makes it so great for gifts. Thank you Specialty Java for making
mornings something to look forward to and evenings with your
fabulous decaf so satisfying!"
Deborah Rowden
Siloam Springs, Arkansas
"I was very
impressed with the coffee and I will purchase regularly. Thanks for
the unprecedented free offer, it really was more than a free sample.
I had to buy a $38.00 gift sampler from another vender just to try a
variety of theirs. The New York New York was the freshest coffee
I've ever tasted, I can't wait to try others. Thanks again."
Jim Hedrick
Nashville, Arkansas
New York New York
is an excellent blend just as you said it was. I am very pleased
with your product. Have not tried samples of Rockin Java & Breakfast

"I am an avid
coffee drinker and love waking up to a good cup of coffee. I have
never tasted coffee any better than what is right here. It gives my
day a truly fresh start and when I have company the rave reviews are
overwhelming. I have tried the New York, New York and the Smooth
Jazz. The New York is my favorite so far although I like the smooth
jazz also. The service in delivery is awesome and super fast. I am
100% satisfied with this coffee and you now have a steady customer.
Again, thanks so much!

delicious as the first pouch we bought at the Food & Wine Expo last
month. The personal label is a nice touch, too. Your team has it all
together!"
Jeannine Acker
Plymouth, Minnesota
"I bought a new
Brahn coffee maker and bean grinder. A bit of trial an error in
trying to achieve the right flavor/strength, however getting better.
I would like to complement your coffee varieties. I purchased
several types in 2oz to try. Purchased a 16oz of the NY-NY blend and
really like it."
Danny Brooks

Jan Bosch

"While the prompt
response and ease of ordering are value features, the quality of the
product supercedes all other aspects in my mind. The New York, New
York type is very good, and I would definitely order it again. Our
preference for our regular coffee is a strong, robust flavor just
short of espresso (We travel in Europe, so we enjoy espresso also).
Keep up the good work."
Carl Howard
Tucson, Arizona
"My husband LOVES
the New York New York! I ordered the espresso and I can tell it is
not bitter but I am still in the early stages of espresso making and
just haven't quite got the knack yet. I think I check out the forum
and see if I can get some suggestions. Delivery was fast and
ordering was easy. Thank you!"
Laura Lutzow
Nampa, Idaho
"I am on limited
caffeine intake and found that combining the New York reg. and the
New York decaf. was an excellent blend that meets my needs!!! I will
recommend your coffee to others in our rural area (we are limited in

ME Watts

"Been buying my
blend in Hawaii and live in Iowa. I now will be buying my blend from
Minnesota! I have 3 samples and tried one,,NYNY and I am already
sold! What a wonderful roast, I have tried hundreds of
blends/roasters and this is tops! Can't wait to try the other 2!
Shipping is second to none and as fresh as if I roasted the beans
myself. You have a new client!!"

Shannon Booher
Minneapolis, Minnesota
"We have tried the
New York and New York and love it! We have not opened the Sumatra

stagger them in the future to ensure the freshest beans. I was very
impressed with ordering on your web site and the quick delivery.
Thank you very much!”

It smelled great and was nicely packaged. It makes a nice and smooth
cup o joe and I am sipping it now as I type away. I especially liked
the ability to choose between shippers. Thanks!"
Douglas Bart
Boothbay, Maine
"The New York New
York is the only kind I have tried so far. It 's going to hard to
try another kind. The New York is excellent! I have ordered twice
and will order again. The first order I shared with my
Mother-in-law.. The second order I had to split with my
Mother-in-law. Great coffee! P.S.. The shipping was fast too!"
Kim Johnston
North Little Rock, Arkansas
"This is so cool. Our favorite of the three we purchased is the Rock
& Java. We like kick ass coffee in the morning. The New York New
York is second with and tastes better bur not as strong. Third we
bought Paradise, which is how I found your site I was looking for
the taste of a coffee I had many years back when I spent the Summer
in Hawaii. Too bad Kona coffee cost an arm and a leg. Nevertheless
this has been the best coffee we have had in as long as I can
remember. Thanks and we can't wait to try more variety."
Brian Rodgers

up."

The coffees that you sent were AMAZING!!!! We invited our neighbors
over...they have been our "test" subjects on everything, and
everyone LOVED the coffees...the Organic Velvet Soul was by far the
most talked about. We are so excited , I have an order almost ready
to go, you should have it tomorrow or Wednesday at the latest.
Thanks !!"
Wendi Cooper

tasted! I am addicted and I can't get through the morning without
smelling it brew and drinking several cups of the delicious java.
Thank you for a quality cup of coffee!"
Mario Rodriguez
Burnsville, Minnesota
"I was sent your sample pack - I am looking for gourmet coffee to
serve at my small hotel - and I tried Organic Velvet Soul. It was the best
cup of coffee I think I ever tasted! Thank you. I will be back for more!"

"I've been buying the Jamaican Blue Mountain, and the Kona for about
1 1/2 years, and I've never been disappointed, not one single time. I've
tried JBM from over 10 different sources, and never tasted any that
compares to yours. My in-laws were just at my house for college
graduation, and drank up $160 of my coffee, everyone loves to come to my
house for coffee. Thanks, in this world satisfaction is hard to come by."
Steve Lewis
League City, Texas
"My big worry was whether
I'd be getting real JBM. I got screwed at a brick and mortar suppler - it
tasted like Folgers. But this coffee was the real deal. I limit myself to
1 cup a day to fully savor the incredible flavor. I think I'll try your
Kona next time."
Alfred Tate
Canadian, Oklahoma
"I have received my order of Jamaican Blue Mountain. It is the real
deal. Perfect and smooth. Bliss. Roasted exactly the way I hoped.
And I could swear I woke up faster and better (which is the way I
remember Jamaican Blue) I have a question about caffeine content in
coffee. Are there differences in caffeine content with the various
origins of coffees? I know the lighter the roast the more caffeine.
Most people are under the impression of the exact opposite. I have
been wondering if there are known categories of beans which have a
naturally higher caffeine content. Thanks."
Patricia Baker
Amarillo, Texas
"Kevin, Thanks for the phone call - I really appreciate you
following up and making sure my order was correct. :) We purchase
JBM for my father- in-law every Christmas and usually just go with
whoever pops up on the google search. However, we ordered from you
last year (you popped up!) and he said the quality of the coffee was
terrific - couple that with your thoughtful phone call today, and I
am done googling for our annual order. You have my business, small
as it may be. :) And I will be referring you whenever I can. Thank
you again! And have a very Merry Christmas. :) Julie :)"
Julie Roberts

"btw, I went to Jamaica and your blue mountain is better than
anything I had over there."
Mike Ralston
Westminster, California
"The Jamaican Blue Mtn is wonderful. Years ago, in a coffee shop in
Georgetown (DC), I bought 1/2 pound of Jamaican Blue Mtn - top of
the mountain. It was the smoothest coffee I've ever had in my life.
Recently, I decided I wanted some more of that coffee and went
searching on the internet and found you. It's wonderful."
Chris Rocus
Gaithersburg, Maryland
"I went and bought a Cusinart Grinder just to be able to enjoy these
beans and so far I have been very, very pleased. I enjoyed the
Jamaican Blue Mountain very much, the Yemen was good and am now
enjoying the Costa Rican. Will be ordering again. Thanks!"
Brad Johnson
Atlanta, Georgia
"I have just started to try different brews and really appreciate the
sample sizes offered. Blue Mountain was fantastic, every bit as good
as the rave reviews it gets. I just wanted to drink every drop!"
Holly DuBiel
Carnegie, Pennsylvania
"I have ordered Blue Mountain Coffee from one other source and
wanted to see how it compared to others who sell the same coffee.
Blue Mountain Coffee is becoming my favorite coffee. Yours compares
favorably to my previous source (Precious Provisions), and is
comparable in price, but is a little bit more than Precious
Provisions. I still need to try Kona (pure, not blended) to see how
this compares. Do you guys carry Kona coffee?"
Robert Cranfield
Franklin, Tennessee
"Of the 3 types I ordered I am enjoying the Jamaican Blue Mtn. It is
the first time I drank black coffee. It is very fresh tasting. I am
sure I will enjoy the others when they get opened.."

Ridgewood, New Jersey
"Love your product. French Roast for every day and Jamaican blue
mountain for the weekends. I do wish though that there was a way to
choose a magnet other than asking for one in the comment box while
ordering. I like to give them when I share a bag with someone."
Stephen McGill
Mount Carmel, Illinois
"Just tried the Jamaican blue mountain- will order again!!"
Maria Rodriguez
San Diego, California
"I just opened the package of Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee beans
which I received a month ago and have kept frozen. The brewed coffee
was the best I have ever tasted in my life. It is just robust
enough, smooth and satiny in the mouth, has a splendid fragrance and
mellow full body and gives a nice jolt of caffeine!"
Juliette Muscat
Timonium, Maryland
"Neither the New York nor the Blue Mountain had any
bite to it whatsoever and it was absolutely delicious. What causes
the bite that shelf coffee causes, if you know?"
Linda Clark
Englewood, Florida
"I recently purchased my first sample bags of both Jamaican Blue
Mountain and Kona beans. I have to say, one taste and I understood
what the fuss was about -- It was the best cuppa coffee I ever had!
Everything else tasted bitter and watery by comparison, so now I am
ready to buy a big bag."
Lauren Rapport
West Hollywood, California
"I was very impressed with the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee which I
had before, but this tasted much better. I am still working my way
through the different varieties."

"My husband loves Blue Jamaican, Caribou hasn't had it the last few
years-- It was great to have a local company to order from over the
net. My husband said the beans were awesome and so flavorful and
smooth!! (I'm not a coffee drinker only tea)"
Stacy Hageman
Ramsey, Minnesota
"Love the coffee. Will definitely be using your service from now on.
Smooth Jazz is absolutely exquisite, very nice. The Jamaican Blue
Mountain was very nice too! Tried the samples and love the coffee.
Your prices are good and the beans are great! The aroma of a freshly
opened bag is to die for!!"
Brian Brackeen
Denton, Texas
"This is my first order. The ordering and receiving process was
smooth and on the projected time. The quality of the product was
good. It was truly fresh as advertised. I started with an exotic
coffee, Jamaican Blue. I look forward to further purchases as well
as the forum to expand my coffee drinking pleasure. One thing that
impressed me immediately was the professionalism of your website. I
would like to see coffees with ratings, similar to that in wine
ratings. It is fun to see how people rate certain coffees and then
compare with ones own rating. Perhaps this is done and I haven't
stumbled upon it yet. So far, I like what I have found."
Larry Lynn
Flowery Branch, Georgia
"We discovered Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee on a trip to Jamaica 20
years ago but never afforded ourself the luxury of purchase here in
the states due to the cost. I purchased this coffee from Specialty
Java to celebrate a 29th Anniversary because your cost, freshness,
delivery were unbeatable and I will highly recommend you to other
"Coffee Snobs" like ourselves."
Becky McIndoo
Phoenix, Arizona
"I tried the Jamaican Blue Mountain and it is very good. Every one
who tried it said it was very tasteful and had a lot of body to it."
Florence Munsey
Totowa, New Jersey
"I bought this coffee for my boss as a gift for Christmas. And he
had called me the day after Christmas and had said " this is the
best jamacian blue mountain coffee he has ever gotten!" So I'm
really happy with the product that I bought from you guys. If I got
to buy anymore coffee I am buying from your site."

""I finally found a
roaster that knows how to roast Sumatran (dark). Best coffee I have had in
ages."
Darrell St. Clair
Wiggins, Mississippi
"After trying several other on line roasters I have finally found
one that knows how to roast Sumatra Mandheling (DARK). I need look
no further. This is with no doubt the best Sumatra ever. Ordered on
Monday, roasted on Monday and drinking on Wednesday. Thank You"
Darrell St. Clair
Wiggins, Mississippi
"Very good taste: New York, New York & Sumatra. I
haven't tried any others, yet."
Glenda Noble
Waconia, Minnesota
"Thanks a lot! Now coffee anywhere but at home just
doesn't taste as good since I've become a customer of
SpecialtyJava.com! So far my favorite is the Sumatra, although I
have no complaints about the others that I've tried. Great coffee!
Wonderful service! Delivered quickly!"
Kathryn Vess
Pacolet, South Carolina
"Hi Folks, As I write this I'm sitting here and
enjoying a cup of Sumatran from the first order of beans. Holy cow!
What a superbly satisfying cup this is. I'm hooked. Thanks a
million!"
Eric Mattocks
Giddings, Texas
"I am about ready to order my next bag of beans. I must
say, your fresh roasted coffee was what I was after. It produced
that ephemeral rare coffee pleasure I knew I could only get with
fresh roasted beans. Now that coffee experience that was once only
once in 50 cups is an every morning affair. I love Sumatra coffee.
What other variety should I try?"
James Ervin
Rocky Mount, Virginia
"I have truly enjoyed my first order of Sumatra
coffee!"
Kathryn Vess
Pacolet, South Carolina
"I use the finest grind (8) possible on the Kitchen
aide grinder. My objective is to have the cup resemble a meal in its
body. I expect a cup, generally the first, to have a sandy texture.
This is before the coffee has had a chance to settle any sediment it
may have. Such cups do have a "bite" which you may identify as
acidity. But with a dark roast, acidity is limited, purely by its
nature. Therefore, a liberal dose of grindings results in a very
full flavored, rich taste, not overly saturated with a caffeine shot
that might "wire you." My first experience with Sumatra was in
Jakarta at several , I think, five star hotels, that served a full
bodied coffee, but mellow. I have not yet achieved that flavor, but
the Sumatra you sell closely resembles that experience."
Richard Volkman
Ponca, Nebraska
"Just had my first cup of your Sumatra Mandheling blend
this morning. WOW. I no longer have to go to Starbucks for my
Sumatra fix."
Dale Gilberson
Crystal Lake, Illinois
"My favorite coffee is Sumatra. yours seems darker
roast than any i have ever bought. i have not decided yet if i
prefer yours. the blue mtn was incredible !!! so is the price ! lol"
Gary Fuller
Eclectic, Alabama
"the coffee is delicious! i had to cut to about half-caf,
so i ordered regular and decaf in three kinds--New York, Sumatra,
and Kenya AA. My favorite changes every time I have a cup!"
Michele Martin
Anmoore, West Virginia
"I should say that I am a
real "coffee-maniac" – I drink 10-15 cups of espresso a day, the last one
right before going to bed. So, the quality of coffee I drink is very
important to me. For the past several years, I had been regularly buying
5-lb bags of Ethyopian Harrar from a company in CA; however, after they
twice sent me something that had nothing to do with Harrar, I started
looking for another supplier and found your company. The coffee that I
received from you has given me aesthetical joy. It is a real Harrar, and
it is perfectly roasted. Your service is super-professional, too: my order
was processed promptly, you kept me informed about the status of my order,
and you even followed up on it after I received the coffee. Thank you."
Leonic Andreev
Tucson, Arizona
"The coffee samples we received to try out your coffee were so
outstanding. We forgot what great coffee tastes like. We are
honoring your coffee by properly grinding it just before we use it
and we have our old French Press back out as our primary brewing
method. Ethiopian Harrar is our current favorite but we look forward
to exploring others. Warm Regards, Walter and Jane."
Walter Bera
Wayzata, Minnesota
"I am happy as a clam with the transaction and am at this very
minute enjoying of a cup of coffee brewed with Ethiopian beans. I
suspect I'll order from you again."
Ted Ammon
Jackson, Mississippi
"You are the only site on the net I buy my coffee from.....period.
Harrar being a 'wild' i don't trust anyone else to get it
right.....*shrug*."
Deb Terry

"We are enjoying the Ethiopian Harrar coffee we received from you.
Also, love the personalized label! Nice touch!"
Burgess Dell-Wilson
Berkley, Michigan
"The Harrar I recently received is simply amazing. I've recommended
it to all my friends. I thoroughly appreciate the master roaster's
comments for this coffee too. They are spot on! Thanks!"
Cindy Gustafson
Hernando Beach, Florida
"Not only the best Ethiopian I've ever had, but service and price
were exceptional. I will be back for more."
Charles Cifuni
Mt. Holly, North Carolina
"I tried you're recipe for cold press with the Ethiopian Harrar and
it's like drinking a mocha every morning without the chocolate.
Smoothest ever!"
Meg Faller
Norfolk, Virginia
"THIS Harrar is what I've been looking for and the price was right
too. I couldn't BE more satisfied."
Debra Terry

"Received a sampler
package for X-mas. So far I have Nicaraguan and Ethiopian coffee and love
both."
Joan Bahrke
Farmington, Connecticut
"Blind
Assessment: The surprise here is how well this blend performs in longer
milk drinks. As a straight espresso it is agreeable enough, dominated in
the aromatics by low-toned, musty notes that read as a raisiny semi-sweet
chocolate or perhaps a spicy, cantaloupe-like fruit. The body is medium to
full, the finish simple and rich with a slight astringent edge. The blend
exerted a powerful though heavy dark-chocolate presence in short milk, but
with more latte-like quantities of milk it bloomed with great sweetness
and vivacity."
Kenneth Davids

"This was my first
order and I was very pleased. Very happy to have found a good source for
organic espresso beans. I will definitely be ordering more."
Joanne Hewitt
Midland, Michigan
"I really like the Espresso Organico that I
ordered; just the right roast and no excessive oil, so my grinder
and Silvia loved it. The delivery was great also. I will be ordering
again when my holiday gift coffees run out - maybe before 'cause I
like yours so much. Glad I ran on to your website!!"
Ann Gray
Iowa City, Iowa
"We use the Espresso Organico in our Necta Kikko
and Saeco Barista Supremo gourmet coffee vending machines and our
customers love it!"
Latte 4U
Humble, Texas
"I love your Espresso Organico and am ordering
sample sizes of your other espresso coffees to see if it can even
get better!"
Roy Davis
Roland, Arkansas
"I recently discovered your product. I tried your
Organico roast. I'm currently trying your Authentico roast, which is
as suggested. (Similar to illy.) Awesome stuff. I'm sure I'll be
ordering again in the future. The only suggestion I have is to keep
doing what you're doing!!!"
Jason
Tolzmann
Shakopee, Minnesota
"I could not be
happier. Your Espresso Organico is, for me, perfect. I fall asleep at
night thinking of the first cup in the morning. Thank You."
Matt Christin
Portola Valley, California
"Blind assessment:
Roundly deep, smoky aroma with hints of low-acid fruit and dark chocolate.
In the small cup medium body, slightly syrupy mouthfeel, pungently sweet
with aromatic wood, dark chocolate, and a continued hint of low-acid
fruit, mango perhaps. The sweetness carries into the finish, but fades
toward a smoky astringency in the long. Powerful presence in milk, almost
too powerful in short milk, where the dry, smoky character dominates.
Sweetens in big milk (four parts or more), moving the dark chocolate and
mangoish fruit notes forward and softening astringency. Who should drink
it: Those who value smoky intensity in a very dark-roasted espresso that
preserves sweetness, body, and some complexity. Extremely strong presence
in milk; should be able to stand up to almost any amount of dairy and
embellishments."
Kenneth Davids
CoffeeReview.com
"I
really liked your espresso. We got it in last week, and I made quite
a few shots with it, at many different parameters. I thought it was
nice, stout and fruity. It was more Chocolate rounded taste, not a
super long finish. Personally, I think it would cool to see the same
components in one stage lighter also, or more curious as to what
that would do to it. I got a little dark fruits with it, and a bit
cooler temp. And thanks again for letting us taste that great
espresso."
Gina Palandri
EspressoPartners.com
"My family really
loves your espressos. We've tried the Italiano, Organico and Organico Dark
roasts. We use a super-automatic Gaggia Titanium plus to prepare our
espressos and were told that when using the Organico Dark roast, to put
just enough beans in the hopper so that the beans do not remain more than
a day in the hopper. Otherwise, the plumbing of our Gaggia might get
clogged. This worked just fine, and we want to order more of the Organico
Dark. It was THE favorite of everybody in the family. A question for you:
the espresso Allegro is listed as being an even darker roast than the
Organico Dark. Will it cause problems for our Gaggia? How does it compare
in taste to the Organico Dark?"
Steve Cox
Schoolcraft, Michigan
"The Organico Dark is our favorite. It is wonderful when diluted
with just a wee bit of water. No milk or other flavorings needed and
no bitter taste that needs a sweetener. Just a wonderful rich dark,
smokey taste."
Steven Cox
Schoolcraft, Michigan
"I have roasted my own coffee and recently tried Kona & Jamaican
coffee from you. The Kenya AA beats them all as far as I am concerned. I
detected strong caramel notes, hints of chocolate and some smokiness."
Rich Oberg
Groveland, Massachusetts
"Thanks
again for your continued dedication to your product and your customers. It
is rare in our economy today! I appreciate you guys! (And gals). It's a
joy doing business with you, when I order, I know I'll get what I ordered
in a timely fashion and that it will be exactly like you say it will be.
Your Kenyan AA is without doubt the best coffee I have ever had! Keep on
doing things like you do! God Bless;"
Rev.
Johnny Thompson
Stanford, Kentucky
"I was a bit hesitant to order because my experience with Kenya AA
is having it in Kenya. I had found a good source a few years ago but
threw out the package and didn't remember the source. I must say
that I am very pleased with the product I have received from you and
I have written and saved your site. I will definitely be ordering
again. I gave some of the beans away as Christmas presents and I
included your web site. Thank you very much for a quality product
and a very rapid delivery!! Merry Christmas!"
Teresa Thorley
Dover, Delaware
"I was very satisfied with my coffee. It was more fresh than any
other coffee I've had. The taste and aroma was extraordinary. I
chose the Kenya AA and will definitely be purchasing more"
Bryan Plunk
Virginia Beach, Virginia
"Your Kenyan AA is the finest coffee I have ever had the pleasure to
drink. Your service is just as good. I appreciate you for your
dedication to your product and your customers! It's a pleasure to do
business with people you know you can trust and whose product is
exactly as described if not better. Keep it up! You've got a loyal
customer in me. I appreciate you!"
Johnny Thompson
Stanford, Kentucky
"I ordered the Kenya AA and Panamanian coffee. This is the best
tasting coffee that I have ever had. I ordered the coffee on a
Tuesday night and received it Friday afternoon. I gave samples to my
friends and they loved it. You now have another customer for life.
Keep up the great service and products."
Brian Ridenour
Fairway, Kansas
"I have thoroughly enjoyed the Kenya AA coffee. I have a new burr
grinder and it has enabled me really enjoy my coffee. I do both drip
and french press."
John Alcorn
Angleton, Texas
"The Kenya AA is the first sample I have tried from you. The smell
of the beans when I opened the bag was incredible. For me, part of
the enjoyment of coffee is in the smell; Kenya AA delivered. I was
also very impressed by the taste. It was strong enough for me to
enjoy, but mild enough not to be bitter with a bite. I plan to order
more.
Jimmy Hazlett
Stanford, Kentucky
"I have just one thing to say to you after making a pot of your
Kenya AA.........................................OH MY
GOODNESS!!!!!!!! No More Caribou For Me!!!!!!!!!!!.......You Folks
ROCK!" I just got my shipment of the Espresso Italiano. I opened the
bag, sniffed the contents and it was as if the essence of heaven had
been released upon my senses. I actually gasped! Then I pulled my
morning double shot. The thick syrupy golden liquid danced across my
tongue like that of a ballroom dancer gliding gracefully and across
the floor. Then it was gone. Oh, this can't be the end I thought, I
had another and was in heaven once more. THANK YOU!
John Kidd
Waite Park, Minnesota
"The value of your coffee beans was a pleasant
surprise.......however, the aroma and taste were amazing! I had been
using a local supplier for my Kenya AAA coffee for a number of years
and assumed that it was "as good as it gets".......wrong!! Very good
taste, easy to order, quick delivery and good product value."
Dennis Bolinger
Roann, Indiana
"the
coffee is delicious! i had to cut to about half-caf, so i ordered regular
and decaf in three kinds--New York, Sumatra, and Kenya AA. My favorite
changes every time I have a cup!"
Michele
Martin
Anmoore, West Virginia
"I have tried a lot
of different coffees and finally found your on the internet and decided to
try them. My husband is from Minnesota and I figured what the heck maybe
they can roast good coffee beans. Well we love the Columbian coffee beans.
Plain coffee, no flavors for us. Thank you so much. Everyone that has a
cup of our coffee says it is good coffee."
Linda Collison
Payson, Arizona
"I had to adjust
the amount of coffee I use per cup as I went to the lighter roast
Columbian over the darker roast starbucks, and when that was adjusted then
I knew your product was coffee at its finest. I am very pleased with your
product and also knowing there is someone at the helm watching and caring
about His reputation and the quality of the coffee and to me the most
important, the satisfaction of the customer. Bottom line its only coffee
but by putting it all together the quality of product and the concern for
customer satisfaction, to put it simply it is Coffee done Right. Happy new
year and much success to all of you."
Mark Borovina
Port Jefferson, New York
"Love Allegro, cuz I
love the darker roasts, but hear because of the oilier beans to making a
darker roast can clog grinders. Little concerned, but hate light to med.
roasts since I am strictly a strong cappa drinker with lots of micro
foam."
Linda Jardee
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
"Helpppp! ever since my Uncle came
over for coffee and tasted your Espresso Allegro, he now comes over
for coffee NOT once but 3 times a week!!! he is hooked as bad as I
am!! Me and my Espresso Allegro forever in love :)
Dora Agosto
Round Lake, Illinois
"My boss lives in
Seattle. Mostly drinks Starbucks. Gave him about 1 1/2 or more lbs. of the
Espresso Allegro. In 2 weeks it was gone. One of the 5 lb bags I am
ordering today is his Christmas present. We haven't ordered in a while due
to sickness and 3 of our coffee drinkers were gone for 3 weeks. 2 of them
were in Africa. Brought home an Ethiopian bean that their cook, while in
Africa, roasted. The bean is so dark it is black, but doesn't taste burnt.
Oh how we do love a good dark roast."
Colleen Ninneman
Watford City, North Dakota"
"We like the Decandent Decaffinated really well. I think that will be a favorite here.
Thanks for making sure we are satisfied customers because we ARE Donna &
Jeff."
Donna Monroe
Lone Tree, Colorado
"I adore the Decadent Decaf! It IS decadent. Can I have a sample of
your Mocha Java? You should look into linking up with The My Points
program! Many online retailers and very good company exposure. I
make purchases for my favorite retailers through their site and get
reward points to use for free gift cards,or merchandise in exchange
for trying out their merchants, Win/Win for all...Good Marketing

decadent decaf."
Alva Whetton

"The French Roast is best
I have ever tried. I have sampled many different brands, starbucks,
milestone, eight o clock, and other specialty roasters. Keep doing what
your doing. The quality and value are excellent."
Timothy Chyo
Dearborn, Michigan
"SpecialtyJava, I recently received my first order of your French
Roast (56oz), and I'm writing to tell you that my experience with
your business practices, quality and pricing threaten to screw up
the entire coffee producing industry. How do you sleep at night
knowing the adverse impact and advantage you have on the rest of the
nation's coffee producers? The flavor of your French Roast is
perfect to my way of taste, whether hot and fresh brewed, or cold
hours later. There's no acrid element to the French Roast, and the
smoothness is indescribable. As with about half of human beans (as
Pogo would call us), coffee makes me somnambulistic instead of more
alert, however I'm not made sleepy with your French Roast, as with
other brands of French Roast prepared in the same way, and that's
terrific. Thanks for being you, and for being there. Courage."
Robert Armour
Lakeside, California
"Love your product. French Roast for every day and Jamaican blue
mountain for the weekends. I do wish though that there was a way to
choose a magnet other than asking for one in the comment box while
ordering. I like to give them when I share a bag with someone."
Stephen McGill
Mount Carmel, Illinois
"We enjoyed your French Roast and Sumatra decaf. It arrived in less
than a week."
Reginald Spittle
Mariposa, California
"The French roast is my favorite; I love extremely dark roasts and a
few other varieties to choose from in that category would be great!"
Linda Sny
Layton, Utah
Just getting to know what my formula is going to be. First pot-Too
strong. Second and third - close, but not quite. This is fun. I have
been a traditionalist all my life and stepping out into the void
experiencing the spectrum of new and exciting coffee flavors met
with anticipation. I must confess however that at 68 years of age,
don't you think it is about time? Thanks for the opportunity. I
tried the French Roast first and it is nothing like a store bought
can of poop, I'm looking forward to the other flavors/"
Donovan Elliott
League City, Texas
"Your blend of French Roast coffee is the best I have ever had! I
have been drinking French Roast coffees for the last 10 years and
yours has more flavor than any brand I have tried. It had a rich,
robust flavor that can not be beat. Besides the taste, the smell
alone is intoxicating. This is a must try for any coffee lover."
David Hofseth
Hopkins, Minnesota
"Fantastic Roast to Order French Roast coffee. Way deeper, richer
flavor than Starbucks or Trader Joes. Specialty Java coffee (french
roast) will be hard to beat in the world finals. Keep up the
outstanding work. Thanks again."
Paul Thornton
Torrance, California
"This is the first time I have ordered coffee beans to be roasted
just for me. WOW! I am so enjoying my fresh roasted beans a mixture
of French Roast and Mocha Java. I have had so much fun grinding
enough beans so make several pots of coffee and taking them with me
when I go to visit my best friend and the news office I just retired
from. You should have heard the comments from my friends. They were
so impressed (as I) they wanted to know all about purchasing fresh
beans; how to where etc. Will I order again? You bet!! Thank you for
being there when I wasn't able to fine Mocha Java on the store
shelves anymore; that is why I made the choice to order through
SpecialtyJava.com. Now, you will be my supplier as I certainly enjoy
my fresh roasted coffee each morning."
Barbara Arnold
Wideman, Arkansas
"Awesome french roast; so far we have tried only that. looking
forward to trying the espressos."

"So far I've tried PT's,
CoffeeFool, the Roasterie, and you guys. All have been good - I like your
feedback and order tracking very much - that feature is lacking for a
couple of the other guys. The Yergacheffe has been my favorite so far."
Tim McKnight
Lexington, South Carolina
"I originally bought Ethiopian Yergacheffe (sp) at the market near
my home. Then they stopped carrying it . IT took me some time to
find some one who carried it. Your service and quality have been
great. I am recovering from Cancer and one of the things I lost was
all sense of taste. I have told everyone that I miss the taste of
coffee (yours ) the most. I think it is gradually coming back. So
keep up the good work."
Jeff Rich
Plainville, Connecticut
"Your Ethiopian Yergacheffe is the best coffee we have ever tasted.
Another order coming!"
Don Shannon
Kennewick, Washington
"Your coffee was absolutely fabulous! I am now a loyal customer. It
was wonderful to be able to try samples of so many varieties. Each
one was so rich, ultra flavorful and fresh! I am hooked! My favorite
so far is the Ethiopian Yergacheffe."
Kris James
Waconia, Minnesota
"We were WOW'd by the freshness compared to what we have been buying
locally. This was alo our first opportunity to try the Ethiopian
Yergacheffe - It is a fantastic coffee!"
Dale Shirico
Oviedo, Florida
"Thanks for the follow-up. I ordered from you several years back;
one for myself and one for my sister and brother-in-law. I savored
mine. They inhaled theirs. Finding a good source for Ethiopian
Yergecheffe and knowing it is freshly roasted is a real delight. I
am sipping a cup now, as I write. Coffee isn a sensual pleasure.
Yours is some of the best I've had. Many thanks for the delightful
sensory experience and your prompt service! Makes getting that cup
of sensual delight most gratifying."
Bryn Easley Roozen
Jefferson City, Tennessee
"I recently tried
some coffee from Whole Foods as I ran out of yours and they had the
Ethiopian Yergeffe(SP). Not even in your league."
Jeff Rich

"Your Guatamalan is
the closest to a Guatamalan Coban that we used to get and lost our local
store! A GREAT coffee!"
Bruce Brown
Madison, Virginia
"The Guatemalan FT is an excellent anytime coffee. Also got the
Rockin' Java and NY NY blends both of which are very good full
bodied coffees but am partial to the Guatemalan. Keep up the good
work. Thanks Brad."
Brad Whitehouse
Carnegie, Oklahoma
"This is the first bag of Smooth Jazz I've
ordered. It is wonderful and I am very pleased with the coffee. I do
believe that I prefer the coffee from Guatemala even better. I'm not
completely sure why, but my first instinct is that the Guatemalan is
a bit toward the mild side, yet maintains a lot of flavor. Still, I
would order Smooth Jazz again anytime."
Charley Cameron
Haughton, Louisiana
"LOVE the Guatemalan - Hope the Guatemala Palacios Estate is as
pleasing ! Have referred quite a few people and given away magnets
so tey have the web address. My wife has also referred quite a few
on all her web logs and forums."
Bruce Brown

"ordered the espresso
roasts...............very nice.........actually the best crema of any
coffee i have tried yet, and this to me shows that yall know what you are
doing and that you are serious. I appreciate that."
James Waggoner
Phoenix, Arizona
"I
found your website from several reviews after buying a new Jura
Capresso. I ordered the Espresso Authentico and Espresso Italiano.
We loved how rich and smooth the Authentico tasted. In fact, a
friend we had over commented several times how amazing it was to get
an Americano that was not bitter at all. We have now ordered some
for him as a gift, so now you have 2 new very satisfied customers."
Andrew Lassen
Dubuque, Iowa
"I recently discovered your product. I tried your
Organico roast. I'm currently trying your Authentico roast, which is
as suggested. (Similar to illy.) Awesome stuff. I'm sure I'll be
ordering again in the future. The only suggestion I have is to keep
doing what you're doing!!!"
Jason

large size bag, and pick them up at Mocha Monkey."
Debb Paulson

"Both
my wife and I love the Espresso Authentico beans. I can't wait to
try another bean; do you have any recommendations?"
Gary Sakura
Great Falls, Montana
"Good coffee & espresso goes hand in hand with a good espresso
machine and I've found this combo with your NY/NY & authentico
espresso beans and my new Gaggia machine.I've been brewing for 17
yrs & think I've reached perfection."
Tripoldi
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
"We ordered the Espresso Authentico and the Espresso Italiano. We've
only tried the Authentico so far. We are enjoying it and looking
forward to trying the Italiano. We will probably be ordering again
when we start running low."
Jean Cubero
Tampa, Florida
"Wonderful espresso, fantastic flavor and crema. (Espresso
Authentico) We knew right away we were going to love these beans
because they were not too oily. So often Espresso beans are
"greasy", and very difficult to persuade into the burr grinder that
is built into our superautomatic machine. We are newbies, only had a
superauotmatic for 7 months. We have been experimenting with
countless number of gourmet espresso beans in all price ranges, this
one has them all beat even the 45$ lb bags were put to shame!
Fantastic flavor & aroma and the perfect non bitter aftertaste. So
smooth, and creamy, husband is totally into latte', but I have
really enjoyed this without the foam fix.."
Bill and Angela
Turner
Yukon, Oklahoma
"For
the money, your espresso authentico is by far the best espresso my
wife and I have ever drank. We have tried brands costing twice as
much as yours, but with only half the flavor and freshness!!"
F. Russo
Middletown, Connecticut
"I tried the Paradise
sample that you gave away last month. I have NEVER tasted a better coffee.
I usually like the strong dark roasts (I usually get the Sumatran), but
I'm really glad I tried the Paradise sample. The only problem is going to
be deciding which one to get next time. Thank you very much! P..S. you
guys didn't stumble upon the Garden of Eden, did you?
Bob Hoffman
East Bethel, Minnesota
"New burr grinder is
working well. Enjoyed NY NY, now on to my favorite -- Paradise!"
Charlotte Sellers
Seymour, Indiana
"Fresh-roasted and fragrant, Paradise arrived this afternoon, and I
brewed a cup (non-automatic drip) this evening as I returned to my
computer. Wow! Terrific! What a great way to slow down the day and
relax. Thanks for the pleasure of enjoying great coffee -- and for
placing the order for me when I couldn't! (No need to reply. I just
wanted to let you know how good the coffee tastes and how much I
appreciate repeated good service.)"
Charlotte Sellers
Brownstown, Indiana
"Great coffee, paradise my favorite!!!!!!"
Rick Hawkins
Taft, California
"I recently purchased (3) of your blended coffees, which is
something I rarely do (i.e., prefer "single origin" coffees). I
Started with the "Paradise" blend, and just finished the "New York"
"New York" blend ... truly enjoyed both! "Velvet Soul " is next, and
I hope it will yield the same results as the other two! I don't know
if it's my Technivorm brewer that brings out the best in this coffee
or, if it's the other way around ... either way, I win! I haven't
tried a press pot yet, but that's next. Actually, I decided not to
wait, and just placed my second order today ... trying three more
blends. If they're as good as what I've had so far, I think you have
a "new" customer!"
Dave Charvella
Rochester, New York
"My mailman never wants to give me my order of paradise blend,
because he says it makes his truck smell good!!!"
Rich Hawkins
Taft, California
"My husband and I
really love your coffee! We weren't real coffee drinkers until we tried
yours. The fresh and delectably smooth taste is such a treat for us every
morning now. I used to go to Starbucks but not anymore. We have tried
several varieties, such as NY NY, Smooth Jazz, Daystar Lights and a couple
of the organics, and we love them all. Right now my favorite is Daystar
Lights. It has a wonderful rich chocolatey finish that I love. Thanks for
a wonderful product. I'm spreading the word."
Janice Curlin
Texas
"It has a good aroma smells like coffee should
taste. It has a med. body, I would like it a little stronger but
over all I am happy with it. Your service is the BEST and I followed
your email recommendation to try the Daystar Lights. Your coffee is
the freshest keep up the great work!"
Jan Adam
Duck Key, Florida

Lights" for 1 year and still lovin' it!! thank you Specialty Java!!!"

Judy Peeples
Kansas City, Missouri
"Thanks for the chance to
try the new Mocha-Java blend. This one will definitely be a winner. There
is a nice balance in the flavors that provide an outstanding cup of
coffee. I am in the process of canceling the other coffee club I'm in.
I'll definitely be ordering the new Mocha-Java."

Diane Austin

"We have been ordering coffee from Specialty Java since 10/09 after
needing to change my wholesale supplier. Our customers are extremely happy

and the Allegro for our home machine. We love them both and have many of
our friends and family addicted!!!"
Heather Mariconi
Livermore, California
"I was exclusively
a Starbucks espresso blend user. When I bought my new built-in
machine the Starbucks tasted weak. Your Italian Espresso blend is
excellent - full-bodied, not bitter - exactly what I was looking
for."
Morrison Payne
Walterboro, South Carolina
"Recently received my DeLonghi Magnifica espresso-cappuccino maker
and tried your Italian Espresso. This is as good as it gets. There
is nothing finer... the crema, flavor and freshness is simply
amazing. I would recommend this over Starbucks, Tullys and Peets all
day long. You must try this coffee with a good machine like the
DeLonghi or Jura Capresso. I'm sold and will never turn back. This
is even better than the Illy espresso beans supplied with the
machine. All I can say is "WOW" and "thank you" for your superior
product and excellent service."
Gordon Stafford
Reno, Nevada
"I
found your website from several reviews after buying a new Jura

Andrew Lassen
Dubuque, Iowa
"Have only tried
the espresso italiano and it is excellent."
Martin Weyl
Green Brook, New Jersey
"The lightness of the ground beans fills my Bialetti higher, floats
in the first 2 splashes in the Melitta. And the flavor of all 3
types (NY.NY.Decaf, Tanzanian Peaberry, Espresso Italiano) had a
softness and a depth which was surprising, wonderful, almost
redefining what "coffee" means. Thank you."
John Hay
New Haven, Connectic
It was a pleasure to find your site and your coffee. I generally
prefer the true Italian model of medium roasted beans, long on crema,
short on bitterness. (Starbucks isn't really even coffee,
particularly as they pour off the crema when transferring from 1 cup
to the next!) Your coffees obviously aim for the truer authentic
roast style and I enjoyed their freshness."
Lewis Rosengarten
Saratoga Springs, New York
"I ordered the 14
oz size of New York-New York and Rockin' Java, as well as a sample
of Espresso Italiano. So far, I've tried the New York and the
Espresso -- both are great. I will definitely order from Specialty
Java again."
Melinda Boyd
Waterloo, Iowa
"Great coffee. Its
practically impossible to get panamanian coffee anywhere. I once lived
there. This coffee is either loved or hated by Americans. I love it. Your
online site presented it and I thank you."
William Starr
Chester, Virginia
"We've had a great time sampling the different types of coffees. The
Costa Rican, and Panama are favorites in our house so far. We look
forward to sampling more types from around the world."
Nickie Enochs
Canton, Ohio
"The
coffee, a medium roast of Arabica from Boquete Panama, was
fantastic. On my last visit to Panama, I purchased enough freshly
roasted coffee to get me through, but I gave some of it away as
gifts and couldn't wait until my return next week."
Richard Davis

"Ok, we're ruined!
My husband and I go on vacation and all we can think is..."We can't
wait to get home and have some good coffee!" Not only is this coffee
outstanding in flavor but and exceptional value! The service is fast
and my emails have always been responded to with a personal touch.
We have tried several that were amazing but New York New York and
the Panamanian are so far our favorites. The personalized labeling
makes it so great for gifts. Thank you Specialty Java for making
mornings something to look forward to and evenings with your
fabulous decaf so satisfying!"
Deborah Rowden
Siloam Springs, Arkansas
"I just got home from our fourth grade JASON Presentation,
Rainforests at the Crossroads. We served our Panamanian coffee...the
aroma filled the gym! The taste was great! Thanks for giving us an
opportunity to find a coffee that exactly matched our destination."
Margaret Giroux
Royal Oak, Michigan
"Next to knowing God provided another day, nothing compares to that
first sip of Panama Boquete, mixed with a drop of heavy whipping
cream! The aroma first delights the sense of smell while grinding
the beans, but eventually, the whole body is charged, yet soothed,
with the delight of that first sip! Mmmmmm. A grateful recipient of
Specialty Java coffee."
Pam Kinney
Minneapolis, Minnesota
"I ordered the Kenya AA and Panamanian coffee. This is the best
tasting coffee that I have ever had. I ordered the coffee on a
Tuesday night and received it Friday afternoon. I gave samples to my
friends and they loved it. You now have another customer for life.
Keep up the great service and products."
Brian Ridenour
Fairway, Kansas
"I ordered your Panamanian Roast just last Monday as a last minute
gift and had it shipped to a friend -- Coffee arrived in just one
week and is absolutely delicious in aroma & flavor. We are anxious
to peruse your site to see what other delectable treats you offer
--Thank you for a great cup of coffee and service to match!
Melody Camp
San Diego, California
"I couldn't wait to get up this morning and start the coffee
brewing. The Panamanian I tried was great. My husbands comment was,
"This coffee takes less sugar." What we were drinking used to be so
bitter."
Jodee Bass
Minnetrista, Minnesota
"My brother Jim just called me tonight and is very impressed with
your Panamanian coffee. He mentioned the subtle chocolate flavor and
the rich aroma. I was proud to have sent him a coffee he truly
appreciates as he is a man of high coffee standards. Thanks for
helping me send him a gift he can savor in the truest sense of the
word!"
Betty Hanlon
Saint Paul, Minnesota
"The Panama Boquete is very flavorful for a non dark roast, the
Nicaraguan was okay, but not the flavor of the Panama Boquete. The
Smooth Jazz sample I got was the best tasting coffee I've ever
tasted in my life! I will be sure to get it on my next order."
Jerry Denton
Laurel Delaware
"Your Panamanian
coffee is superb (and my hubby is a chef and pretty picky about his
beans). Keep those beans coming!"
Denise Dodd Floyds
Knobs, Indiana
"Fantastic Coffee. I
purchased some of the Bavarian Chocolate, very fast delivery, can’t find a
fresher bean and the flavor is great. I would like to know if there are
any plans to create a double chocolate flavored coffee. I have been
purchasing my flavored beans from a local market, I really enjoy the
“Death By Chocolate” flavor they offer as it is a double chocolate,
although I am not too crazy about the powder flavor it gives to the
coffee. Please inform me if any plans are in order."
Jeffrey Bogue
Ooltewah, Tennessee
"Hello Kevin & Co., Just
a note to tell you that I just received you Kona sample package and it is
past my expectations! WOW… I was already a fan of your company but this is
over the top. I will be ordering some more in the very near future. Thank
You. God Bless You and Yours over the Holiday Season. Sincerely, Doug"
Douglas Reese
Scio, Ohio
"I recently purchased my first sample bags of both Jamaican Blue
Mountain and Kona beans. I have to say, one taste and I understood
what the fuss was about -- It was the best cuppa coffee I ever had!
Everything else tasted bitter and watery by comparison, so now I am
ready to buy a big bag."
Lauren Rapport
West Hollywood, California
"Your coffee makes
my day, everyday! Excellent selection, great experience in tasting
varieties normally not available at stores. My last purchase of the
Hawaiian Kona was absolute hit, that coffee is simply amazing, not
comparable to anything else I have tried so far"
Adam Bistram
Corona, California
"Your coffee has
very good quality. I was stationed in Hawaii for 3 years and I
enjoyed the taste of 100% Kona Coffee. Every since I was transferred
to California I have not been able to find good Kona Coffee. Well
while I am deployment I have to order my coffee through the
internet. Normally I do not do that because I love good quality
coffee. Well my Chief ordered from you and I think it is a very good
quality coffee you produce. Thanks and I plan on ordering from you
again."
Timothy Barbee
Port Hueneme, California
"Excellent quality.
We have already finished the Kona and are now starting on the French
Roast. Very difficult to find good Kona at a good price."
Joan Steck
Avon, Minnesota
"I ordered six
samples and have tried two. The Hawaiian Kona: This was just as I
had hoped it would be - exceptional. So many flavors from flowers,
earth and water. Enjoy this one black. The Rock 'n Java: The bean
was dark and oily but the taste was smooth and full-flavored with
medium to high acidity and plenty of body. To me It is vivid and
clean but to someone using coffee in their cup of cream and sugar -
it needs to be made stronger."
Tina
Long
Richmond, Virginia
"Organic Sumatran- what
can I say? This roast rocks. A very tough decision for me between the
Organic Smooth Jazz and this one. New York New York- I found this to be a
decent cup of coffee, but didn't have much of a kick to it. Organic Smooth
Jazz - This was very good, even at room temp !. I was impressed by the
bold taste. It stood up very well in heavy cream (I use that only)."
KL Webb
San Antonio, Texas
"I have been looking for a coffee to replace Starbucks for about a
year and a half now. They seems to have changed their house blend to
house bland. I enjoy coffee that that taste like coffee, rich,
smooth and flavorful and I found it in your organic smooth jazz.
Thank you so much for finally giving me a cup of coffee I can look
forward to!!! KEEP PRODUCING ORGANIC SMOOTH JAZZ AND I'LL BE A HAPPY
LONGTIME CUSTOMER!"
Cathy Gallina
Macomb, Michigan
"My friends Doug and
Karen Storey in Houston, Texas sent me a bag of the organic jazz as a
housewarming gift. I just relocated back to Texas from Washington State
and like great coffee!!!"
Toni Nagel
Bishop, Texas
"We just opened a
wholesale account with you are very excited to have found your company.
Our two top favorites of the 5 that we have ordered so far is Espresso
Organico and Constant Cravings. WE will be trying more varieties to
determine which we will use and carry in our new store. Thanks so Much,
Anne."
Anne Marshall
Gainesville, Florida
"All the coffees I ordered are wonderful, particularly the constant
cravings. Like the name I constantly crave it. Thank you. I
absolutely love your coffees. I will definitely be ordering again."
Peggie Larsen
Pierre, South Dakota
Constant Cravings Blend: "This is a very drinkable, dark-roasted
coffee. It seems to mellow a bit after the first few sips. The
ending is quite smooth, with no aftertaste. This coffee is great by
itself, but would also lend itself well to various coffee "drinks".
Service has been exemplary since I became a customer. All orders
have been accurate and very promptly delivered. Well done."
Nila Slaughter
Vienna, Virginia
Constant Cravings Blend: "Big, bold, rich, smoky, smooth, INCREDIBLE
FLAVOR! Heavenly Aroma. Congratulations the "name" says it all. Upon
opening the bag (which contained our usual "espresso authentico" & "sumatran")
The aroma of the "constant cravings" is so desirable and intense, my
wife responded by saying, "It makes me want a cup of coffee" (she is
a total espresso drinker) and that at 4 'o' clock in the afternoon.
Being one who enjoys the strong, dark beans, this blend is
delightful. No, more than delightful, it is actually the only other
sample I've tried that I would buy. I liked the smooth jazz a lot,
but this is the best yet. I am continually astounded in the delivery
time and service. How I can order it one day, and 24 hours later,
from MN to GA it be in my hand? Amazing. Since finding you almost a
year ago, we have bought no where else! Mega Kudo's and Jumbo
Booyah's - I give it a 90 on the cupping form score."
Eddie Rogers
Kennesaw, Georgia
"We just had our first pot of Constant Cravings -- GOOD COFFEE - not
bitter - no poor aftertaste -- I like the bags - all 14 oz , but
seemed to be different amounts in some. Do you grind any ? GOOD
service -- Quick -- fast e-mail replies !!!! Thanks John !!!!"
Bruce Brown
Madison, Virginia
"Just wanted you to know that we love your Constant Cravings. Thank
you!"
Marcia Willmsen

"Hi From Milwaukee :) My
order arrived safely this afternoon :) Thanks for the fast service and low
shipping cost!! The New World Breakfast Blend is the best coffee I have
bought from you (2 Coffee Cups Way Up) :) It is very smooth, no bitter
taste, sweet, great aroma :) The coffee mug is really cool looking!!
Thanks again :)"
Paul Dupuis
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
"I love the coffee
selection, I will be ordering on an ongoing basis. Our favorite is "New

Carmen Groditski

"I like the Java Estate
for its low acidity and smooth taste. I shared the coffee with a
co-worker, who likes it also. I've given your website to him. You might
get a new customer."
Cheri Wang
Salinas, California
"Order arrived Thursday (shipped Monday). Have only tried the Java
Estate, and found it to be excellent. Nice looking beans, evenly
roasted, wonderful aroma, very smooth cup. Look forward to trying
the Panama beans next. Good work."
Frank Darr
Missouri City, Texas
"I love your coffee and
especially that I receive my order within 3 days of roasting for a great
delivery price! With my Silvia machine and fresh coffee, I cannot stand
any other coffee. I'm trying some of the samples you send to expand my
horizons. I really enjoyed the Java Estate!"
Ann Gray
Iowa City, Iowa
"The Kenya AA Decaf is
the best decaf we've every had. Is there any way to get an organic decaf
that approaches this quality?"
Don and Laura Keefer
Urbana, Illinois
"The Kenya AA decaf is great! We've been enjoying
Kenya AA decaf for years and yours is at the top of the list. It has
such a rich taste that no one knows it's decaf unless I tell
them..."
Christina Mahoney
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
"The Brazilian Santos was
delicious and just as described. It was nothing like other Brazilians that
I have had. Very complex and nice."
L Larsen
Escondido, California
"I liked the
Brazilian coffee and I am try your #1 AND YOUR PERSONAL FAVORITE. Thanks
for providing a quality product. Greg PS. Where do I find your promotions
and or coupons."
Greg Lucan
Sterling, Virginia
"My favorite single origin and it has become my "regular" buy.
Specialty Java keeps the roast light which brings out a lot of flavor.
Probably the best peaberry on the market today. It is very forgiving of
brewing miscues. Hopefully, it will remain on your offering list. It has
been purchased numerous times."
Mark Botta
Parlin, New Jersey
"I have tested most of
your coffees at home and on my coworkers and we all agree that the
Tanzanian Peaberry is by far the best overall product so far, even above
New York, New York and the overrated Blue Mountain. All your coffees are
superb but this one going to be hard to top, at least for us in the
Midwest!"
Bob Fehringer
Fairview Heights, Illinois
"I really, really, really like the TANZANIAN PEABERRY please keep it
around."
Brian Brackeen
Ponder, Texas
"The lightness of the ground beans fills my Bialetti higher, floats
in the first 2 splashes in the Melitta. And the flavor of all 3
types (NY.NY.Decaf, Tanzanian Peaberry, Espresso Italiano) had a
softness and a depth which was surprising, wonderful, almost
redefining what "coffee" means. Thank you."
John Hay
New Haven, Connecticut
"I've
been searching for quality Tanzania Peaberry coffee for over 10
years. I'm quite pleased with the beans I received, the freshness of
the roast, the ease of ordering and your request for feedback. Thank
you."
J McMillan
Virginia
"I have to tell you
I was so impressed when I got my order!! This was the first time I've
ordered fresh roasted coffee & I couldn't believe the difference!! This
may sound crazy but I was so surprised with the color, smell, feel of the
coffee beans, I just couldn't believe what a difference these beans made!!
I couldn't stop looking at them & smelling them!! And the taste is
awesome...I absolutely love the cinnamon/hazlenut which is the flavor I've
been looking for!! I am very happy with both flavors I got & will continue
to order from Specialty Java!!"
Mindy Pollock
Berwick, Pennsylvannia
"I went and bought a
Cusinart Grinder just to be able to enjoy these beans and so far I have
been very, very pleased. I enjoyed the Jamaican Blue Mountain very much,
the Yemen was good and am now enjoying the Costa Rican. Will be ordering
again. Thanks!"
Brad Johnson
Atlanta, Georgia
"We've had a great time
sampling the different types of coffees. The Costa Rican, and Panama are
favorites in our house so far. We look forward to sampling more types from
around the world."
Nickie Enochs

"I went and bought a

"It is very difficult to
find good, strong, high quality de-caf coffee at a reasonable price. This
usually means I drink more caffeinated coffee than I would like to. I have
now tried both your Jazz blend and Sumatra de-cafs and they are both
EXCELLENT! The regular Sumatra caffeinated is excellent also. I will
definitely order again. Thanks for a great product." Scott Jacobs Valley
Village, California"We enjoyed your French
Roast and Sumatra decaf. It arrived in less than a week."
Reginald Spittle
Mariposa, California
"Hi John, thanks for
the info. I have enjoyed your coffee since the first order a few weeks
ago. I'm so excited to have decaf with such a great bean as Sumatra with
full-bodied ness. I get so sick of decaf Columbian which floods the market
and for my taste it's so chalky and leaves such a dry aftertaste! Do you
have a retail store? I have family in other states and didn't know where
you are based. Thanks so much!"
Julie Burkey
Maitland, Florida
"We got the espresso
machine a few months back and have been getting Starbucks but wanted
organic which they do not have organic decaf espresso beans. You guys do
and at a great price! Plus your website is so helpful seeing as how we are
starting to learn about the espresso experience. So we tried a straight
shot of Starbucks versus your organic decaf espresso. I'm pretty sure
angels were singing. What I noticed was that Starbucks was very bitter and
had a horrible bite. Yours was very smooth and rich. I never really
noticed before because I also drink the espresso as a soy latte. Now my
lattes are fabulous and I always look forward to the weekends because then
I have time to have two instead of one. I will never buy anything else.
Thank you so much."
Jennifer Budd
El Cajon, California
"italiano espresso

Jim Watts

"I ordered the Smooth
Jazz and want you to know it is one of the best coffees I've ever
had------MUCH better than Starbuck's--in fact I will not buy any other
type of coffee from now on--you've got my business....."
Robin Schoenfeld
Pahrump, Nevada
"So far, NYNY and Smooth Jazz are outstanding in my
opinion. The pure Columbian seems a bit mild mannered to me but
good. Due to hurried and harried holidays, we have not tried the
other two yet. Never had bags that were zip-lock as well as valved
before... a big plus!!!"
Grant Gehlbach
Rock Hill, South Carolina
"My daughter works in the coffee industry, but I like this much
better than what they offer. She brings me different kinds every now
and then and we just keep coming back to smooth jazz."
Leila Cicchiello
Louisville, Kentucky
"All I can say is WOW! Smooth Jazz is just that SMOOTH, like a fine
wine. I originally ordered some coffee varieties for my
Father-in-law's birthday, then decided "I" needed to try it too. I
received it today and must say it is EXCELLENT coffee. I previously
bought my coffee from a Discount Warehouse store and found it to be
inconsistent in taste. I am not a coffee snob, but I think you have
made me one now! Shame on You!
Denise Alcaraz
Southlake, Texas
"I am an avid
coffee drinker and love waking up to a good cup of coffee. I have
never tasted coffee any better than what is right here. It gives my
day a truly fresh start and when I have company the rave reviews are
overwhelming. I have tried the New York, New York and the Smooth
Jazz. The New York is my favorite so far although I like the smooth
jazz also. The service in delivery is awesome and super fast. I am
100% satisfied with this coffee and you now have a steady customer.
Again, thanks so much!
Betty Enger
Yorkville, Illinois
"I received the shipment of Smooth Jazz Blend! Incredible! I have
been a Starbuck's coffee drinker for a long time. But I think I have
a new favorite coffee. I usually drink coffee with a little cream in
it to cut the usual harsh bite of strong coffee. I tried Smooth Jazz
blend with out cream and it was great. No harshness or acid bite to
it. Great blend."
Jim Alcorn
Broadview Heights, Ohio
"I
just received my first shipment on Friday. I absolutely love the New
York New York and the Smooth Jazz. You definitely have a new
customer."
Cindy Patterson
Scottsdale, Arizona
"I love the Smooth Jazz! I buy both the regular
and decaf and mix them (proportion based on the time of day!) The
flavor is wonderful, either alone or mixed with a flavor in a latte.
I plan to try other kinds, but will always make sure I have some
Smooth Jazz on hand."
Linda Schnobrich
Waconia, Minnesota
"I just received my order last night and have yet
to try the New York New York, but the Smooth Jazz blend was
excellent. It's everything that I expect from specialty, fresh
roasted coffee. Judging by the aroma, I'm sure the New York New York
won't disappoint Also, thanks for the quick turnaround."
William Vosburgh
Las Vegas, Nevada
"Love the coffee. Will definitely be using your
service from now on. Smooth Jazz is absolutely exquisite, very nice.
The Jamaican Blue Mountain was very nice too! Tried the samples and
love the coffee. Your prices are good and the beans are great! The
aroma of a freshly opened bag is to die for!!"
Brian Brackeen
Denton, Texas
"I am absolutely wild about your Smooth Jazz.
Without giving any secrets away, could you tell me what countries
beans are represented in this product. Is is single origin or a
blend. I am a customer and cannot get enough of Smooth Jazz. Thanks
in advance."
Lou Dilts
Littleton, Colorado
"The Panama Boquete is very flavorful for a non
dark roast, the Nicaraguan was okay, but not the flavor of the
Panama Boquete. The Smooth Jazz sample I got was the best tasting
coffee I've ever tasted in my life! I will be sure to get it on my
next order."
Jerry Denton
Laurel Delaware
"While the prompt
response and ease of ordering are value features, the quality of the
product supercedes all other aspects in my mind. The New York, New
York type is very good, and I would definitely order it again. Our
preference for our regular coffee is a strong, robust flavor just
short of espresso (We travel in Europe, so we enjoy espresso also).
Keep up the good work."
Carl Howard
Tucson, Arizona
"I am not a coffee connoisseur by any
stretch of the imagination. I simply enjoy a good cup of coffee. My
wife and I both tried New York New York and Smooth Jazz and
thoroughly enjoyed both! We will be reordering soon. Thanks for
providing a great product!"
Bill Stejskal
Fort Meyers, Florida
"This is the first bag of Smooth Jazz I've
ordered. It is wonderful and I am very pleased with the coffee. I do
believe that I prefer the coffee from Guatemala even better. I'm not
completely sure why, but my first instinct is that the Guatemalan is
a bit toward the mild side, yet maintains a lot of flavor. Still, I
would order Smooth Jazz again anytime."
Charley Cameron
Haughton, Louisiana
"Wow, what a great cup of coffee! The first
morning our kitchen smelled like a coffee shop. What a great way to
start the day! We purchased Smooth Jazz and French Vanilla and we
love both of them. Our son told us about your coffee and are we ever
glad he did! Thanks for a great product and excellent service."
Rebecca Leopold
Freeport, Illinois
"Loved my first
order. Smooth Jazz and New York New York are both awesome. Fast
shipping and fresh coffee beans. Thank you for delicious coffee each
and every morning."
Shannon Booher
Minneapolis, Minnesota
"The Smooth Jazz is a winner. I shared with my
daughter's family and son's family. They have both asked several
times what the name of the blend is and the source and most recently
when I will order some more."
James Evans
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma
"I
am really enjoying the Smooth Jazz & the New York/NY. The Velvet
Soul is a little light for my tastes. I seem to prefer the darker
roasts but I'm relatively new to coffee drinking even though I'm 57
in a few days. I'll be trying other types as time goes on as I'm
very curious to see what the differences are."
John Borella
Danielson, Connecticut
"I got my shipment of
Rock N Java, I am speechless. I am very picky about my coffee but this
coffee rocks for sure. It's so fresh, and a perfect blend, what a great
cup of dark black coffee to rock my world when I need it. And the price
beats Dunn Bros. which I have been drinking for years by far. Thank You"
Douglas Nelson
Brooklyn Park, Minnesota
"The
Guatemalan FT is an excellent anytime coffee. Also got the Rockin'
Java and NY NY blends both of which are very good full bodied
coffees but am partial to the Guatemalan. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Brad."
Brad Whitehouse
Carnegie, Oklahoma
"Thanks so much for answering all of my questions
before I placed my order! What great customer service...and I was
really excited that they were answered by the actual roast master. A
definite first in my coffee ordering experience. I ordered the reg
and decaf sample packs of Rock' N Java and New York New York since
I'm a half caf drinker (I know, I know). I've had a hard time making
great coffee at home but you've definitely won me over! Both were
fantastic and I'll be placing another order soon."
Jan Bosch
Plymouth, Minnesota
"I love your products. Family coffee lovers will enjoy this holiday
season. Just tried the rockin java. It's so nice to get such a

"We absolutely LOVE your coffee! Previously we were mostly
Starbucks, Caribou, Dunn brother's customers...but not any longer!!!
We notice a huge difference in the flavor - the freshness is so
obvious! We loved the Rock' N Java and re-ordered that, but will try
others and no doubt find other coffee's we will love! The shipping
right to our door is AWESOME!! It can't get any more convenient!
Your prices are wonderful too! We have been referring you to other
friends and family! Thanks so much!
Brenda Fischer
Minnetonka, Minnesota
"This is so cool. Our favorite of the three we purchased is the Rock
& Java. We like kick ass coffee in the morning. The New York New
York is second with and tastes better bur not as strong. Third we
bought Paradise, which is how I found your site I was looking for
the taste of a coffee I had many years back when I spent the Summer
in Hawaii. Too bad Kona coffee cost an arm and a leg. Nevertheless
this has been the best coffee we have had in as long as I can
remember. Thanks and we can't wait to try more variety."
Brian Rodgers
Sapello, New Mexico
"I ordered six samples and have tried two. The Hawaiian Kona: This

"This is my first time
ordering coffee from anyone other than a grower in Hawaii and I have to
say you rate right up there with them if not better. Your coffee and
costumer service is far more than I expected. The first two coffee I
ordered were decaf ( Smooth Jazz, New York New York) something I could not
get from my last supplier. Both of the decaf are great it's nice to know
that decaf does not mean flavorless the flavor and aroma are everything
you could hope for and more. Thanks again for the great coffee and I look
forward to the next order and the next......"

ME Watts
Crockett, Virginia
"I've served the New
York New York decaf to guests several times recently and everyone comments
on the fantastic flavor! The NYNY regular is one of my favorites as well.
I can't wait to get up in the morning to grind and brew my first cup of
the day!"
Mary Wroblewski
Eden Prairie, Minnesota
"The delivery time
was amazingly quick but I didn't get to sample the product until
yesterday. I tried the French Vanilla and what a revelation. Good strong
vanilla flavor with a sturdy coffee backdrop which is just what I was
hoping for instead of the usual weak result of a combination. I'd venture
to say this isn't just the best coffee but the best drink I've ever had.
I'm scared to try the Bavarian Chocolate for fear of a pleasure overload,
but rest assured I will. I will be ordering more. Thanks for your work!"

"We have been the
beneficiaries of various whole bean coffees from friends over the last 6
months. We've had Starbucks and Caribou and PJ's. We recently reordered
Specialty Java's organic sumatra after our months "cheating" on it with
these other javas. What a relief to get back to organic sumatra. It is by
far the most flavorful coffee of all we have tried. It stands up to milk
or cream and retains its flavor. Keep up the excellent quality. We know we
can't find better java - even if it's given to us!."
Colleen Gay

"Wow! I placed my order at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday and had the coffee
beans in my hands before noon on Friday. That's truly outstanding
for an out of state order! As the delivery man handed the package to
me, he stated that he almost hesitated to let the order get out of
his truck because it looked so good. I immediately made brewed a
fresh cup - a little hesitant of ordering the dark roast beans, but
the Smooth Jazz decaf was and is terrific. I'm looking forward to
enjoying every cup and have already told friends about the quality
and amazing service of your company. Thank you.

"I was so excited to receive my first order that I had to refrain
from hugging the Spee-Dee man! I am now sitting with a fresh cup of
Smooth Jazz decaf and am absolutely thrilled. I feel as if I have
found one of those elusive secrets of life. Surely heaven smells
like fresh roasted coffee beans from Specialty Java. I will be a
customer forever. Thank you!!!"

"It
is very difficult to find good, strong, high quality de-caf coffee
at a reasonable price. This usually means I drink more caffeinated
coffee than I would like to. I have now tried both your Jazz blend
and Sumatra de-cafs and they are both EXCELLENT! The regular Sumatra
caffeinated is excellent also. I will definitely order again. Thanks
for a great product."

"Thanks so much for
answering all of my questions before I placed my order! What great
customer service...and I was really excited that they were answered
by the actual roast master. A definite first in my coffee ordering
experience. I ordered the reg and decaf sample packs of Rock' N Java
and New York New York since I'm a half caf drinker (I know, I know).
I've had a hard time making great coffee at home but you've
definitely won me over! Both were fantastic and I'll be placing
another order soon."
