Better Than Dessert
"Your Pumpkin Spice, Cinnamon Hazelnut, and Coconut Dreams are unreal. They fill the house with an aroma that smells like potpourri, and the taste is just as incredible. Even my husband, who loads his coffee with sugar and cream, said it was good enough to drink black."
— Barbara-Ann, Weeki Wachee, Florida
Hooked on Chocolate Raspberry
"I was a long-time customer of another brand just for their chocolate raspberry. But I found you, gave it a try, and now I’m never going back. This is how flavored coffee is supposed to taste."
— Myreen, Boulder City, Nevada
The Kona Revelation
"After trying your Kona, I couldn’t believe the difference. It’s smooth, flavorful, and has a freshness I’ve never found in store coffee. Even my kids commented on the smell!"
— Vicki, Westerville, Ohio
Smooth Sailing with Low Acid
"Thanks to Smooth Sailing, I don’t have to give up coffee because of acid reflux. It’s the only low-acid option I’ve found that still tastes amazing."
— Kelly, Rosamond, California
From Curious Click to Lifelong Fan
"I found you from a random ad and figured, why not? Now I’ve ordered Kona, Vanilla Macadamia Nut, Coconut Dreams—you name it. I take your coffee with me to hotels, vacations, even my place in the USVI. Obsessed? Maybe. Loyal? Absolutely."
— Phyllis, US Virgin Islands
First Sip, Forever Changed
"I made my first pot and thought, ‘What’s wrong with this coffee?’ Then I realized—nothing! This was just the first good coffee I’d ever had."
— Robert, Shippensburg, Pennsylvania
Customer Service as Good as the Coffee
"Not only is the coffee the best I've ever tasted, but your customer service is incredible. Prompt replies, fast shipping, and you actually care. You’ve got a customer for life."
— Leah, Livonia, Michigan
A Fool Is Born
"After one cup of Coffee Fool, I can’t go back. I used to think my other coffee was good. I was wrong. Thank you for ruining me."
— Dave, Las Vegas, Nevada
Love at First Sip
"This is hands down the best coffee I’ve ever had. I clicked on a link randomly, gave it a try, and I’m completely sold. Buying from you exclusively."
— Kurt, Grand Rapids, Michigan
A Cup That Changed a Life
"I sent your coffee to my cousin who’s dying in Florida. He told me it was the best cup he’s ever had, and he spent that whole birthday in quiet bliss, just smelling and sipping. Sometimes, coffee is more than coffee."
— Michael, Ringgold, Georgia
I Can’t Drink Store-Bought Anymore
"I can't drink the store bought anymore. It's disgusting after I got used to the good stuff. I stopped a month ago because of the economy. I was standing in the coffee isle begrudgingly holding a bag of dried up ***** and this woman asked 'Is that good coffee?' and I said... 'No, I don't know what I'm doing' and told her about the best coffee ever and where to get it. I tell everyone. I described how sweet and oily the beans are and then put the bag back on the dusty store shelf. I want my Fool's House French back please, two bags at once, shipped once a month please. I'll save on freight this way right? I'll take the next shipment asap."
— Crystal, Florence, Oregon
Not Just Coffee, It’s a Magnet
"I am not a fan of ***** coffee. Friends come over to drink my coffee and I am sick of it. They act like they want to see me but it's my Fools coffee they want."
— Kelly, Summerset, New Jersey
Smooth Sailing Saves the Day
"Smooth Sailing is so good I have been drinking it more often. Thanks to my new grind and brew coffee maker I get the full effect of fresh ground coffee. And yours is the BEST. With acid reflux I thought I'd have to give up coffee all together. I haven't seen low acid coffee anywhere else. So keep up the good work (taste). If I could change my order to every eight weeks I would appreciate it. I'm almost out already. Thanks again."
— Kelly, Rosamond, California
Blue Mountain Converts the Masses
"To be very open, your coffee is so good that I currently get all of my coffee exclusively from you. The other day I was given a takeout cup of ***** by a well-meaning friend. While I said nothing negative to the generous soul that got it for me, it was dreadful and that alloyed my allegiance to Coffee Fool. Later that day I returned the favor to my friend with a fresh cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain. I don't think he will ever go back to *****. True story."
— Robert, Rush, New York
You’ve Ruined Other Coffee For Us
"Hey thanks a lot. We really do enjoy your coffee, however it really ruins coffee from the grocery store or from ***** for that matter... and thank you ... you will hear from us again and we tell everyone about you..."

Finally, My Perfect Grind
"Your coffee is much better than *****, and I can get the grind that I like."

Fender Brew Was Fantastic
"The bag 'o Fender Brew is FANTASTIC!!!! Is there any way to order it (I think you all said that it's a one-time deal) or is there anything else you have that comes close to it?? We Loved it sooooo much! You guys are the best."
— Dan, North Canton, Ohio
Tanzanian on Hold
"Will you please half our order of Tanzanian until I change it back? We're really getting backlogged. My husband is on dialysis and is strictly limited in fluid intake, so he's not able to drink nearly as much coffee as he used to. Thanks so much! We're spreading the word about Coffee Fool and sharing our Tanzanian. Two friends who always drink coffee w/sugar and creamer will only drink the Tanzanian black. It's the best coffee we've ever tasted and we drank ***** exclusively for about 5 years. No more! There's no comparison. And, your customer service is excellent!"
— Carol, Campbell, Texas
Good Stuff Guys!!
"Good stuff guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
— Douglas, West Fargo, North Dakota
A Coffee Memory from the Village
"Got the coffee. Thank goodness. A little story. In the 60's and 70's I was told about straight beans and being able to taste the coffee, from a man named Ti at ***** Coffee on Christopher St in the West Village in NYC. It was the oldest business of its kind at the time. With all of the different coffee houses and companies the buzz seemed to grow but the coffee seemed to get pretty bad. And of course ***** went out of business. Not to say that I never had a good cup of coffee, but it certainly seemed to get fewer and far between. Somehow I came across you folks and well.......you guys have some great coffee. Thanks,"
— Unknown
Ken’s Forty-Year Coffee Realization
"Listen you Fools, You have really done it this time... Now I'm a fool too. I have done comparison tests (albeit in my own subjective and non-professional way) against my ***** and ***** favorites and you're right; I don't think I've ever had really fresh coffee before. This is a 'duh' moment that took over forty years of my life to happen. Thank you fools, you've converted another one. Mahalo (thanks) for all,"
— Ken, Reston, Virginia
French Press Flavor Converts a Texan
"Greetings from San Antonio. I'm a new customer. I do like the flavor of the coffee and it IS different than the other beans I have purchased elsewhere. I use a French Press carafe and it makes wonderful coffee. Next time I'll try a darker roast."
— Roger, Honolulu, Hawaii
Pecan Supreme: The Office Addiction
"I was running late for work about a month ago, so I took enough fresh ground Pecan Supreme into work to make a pot and have since been besieged to 'bring more' and 'Did you bring coffee?' (Being a pushover I do take coffee in fairly frequently). Now they're accusing me of getting into the evidence room and doctoring the coffee with illegal substances. Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know that because of your coffee, I have been able to acquire amazing power over my co-workers. Great job!"
— Ana, San Antonio, Texas
Customer Service that Surprises
"Hi Coffee Fools, I was absolutely not expecting such a quick reply and such stellar customer service, especially since it was the postal service's error. I am definitely looking forward to my next order as well as continuing to recommend Coffee Fool to all my friends, family, and coworkers. Thank you so much!"
— Jennifer, Marysville, California
Saved by the Shipment
"Thank you for being so prompt with shipment of my recurrent order. I did not have enough coffee left to even make one cup. Thanks, again"
— Leah, Livonia, Michigan
Stocking Stuffers Secured Just in Time
"Thank you so very much for the quick response. If I hadn't asked, I just know it would have been an accidental oversight in shipping and then I'd not have had the coffee break passes for stocking stuffers! Murphy's Law — I just knew as soon as I asked, they'd show up in the mail, which they did today — and I LOVE THEM!! They are really cute, but not so cute a guy wouldn't wear one along with his usual ID badge. Thank you —"
— Amy, Rio Rancho, New Mexico
Urban Coffee Dreams
"I really appreciate your taking the time and I can breathe easy because you are going to stay successful but not mega-big. I try to support local, sustainable, responsible, food and drink. Of course, coffee isn't exactly local but I have no problem with that (and okay, I'm addicted). I'd try growing coffee myself but (a) it probably wouldn't work and (b) in this particular urban area, gro-lights glowing for many hours through a basement window would draw the wrong kind of attention. So Coffee Fool it is! I'll sign on now and order some Malawi. Ahh, the digital memory... thanks for storing it! I never would have remembered."
— RL, Minneapolis, Minnesota
From Skeptic to Superfan
"Good evening. I saw your site months ago and kind of shrugged it off thinking you were exaggerating. Last week I decided to give you a try and, well, my wife and I are now addicted! The coffee that I used to think was great now tastes like crap compared. I am currently brewing it through one of those Keurig single cup brewers. I also have a Cuisinart Grind-and-Brew drip coffee maker that has a grinder built in that grinds directly into the basket. I also have a French press that I haven't used in a long time, but I do not have a grinder that will coarse grind for the press. If I were to buy a grinder do you have a make and model that you would suggest for someone on a tight budget? I apologize for the deluge of questions but you have turned me into an even bigger coffee freak than I was before. I'm like a giddy little school girl and can't wait for the next delivery. I drank the last cup Sunday and have been dying for more. I am telling everyone I know about your site and will drum up as much business I can for you. Please feel free to use this e-mail as a testimonial if you ever add that to your site. Thank you so much for your time and for showing us what coffee is truly supposed to taste like! Have a great evening!"
— Joy, Richmond, VA
Organic Favorite
"Anyway, your coffee is wonderful. My favorite is the Organic Fair Trade Breakfast Brew. I sent some to my cousin in Houston for Christmas, so hope he agrees that it's the best. Thanks for great coffee."
— Dave, Waterford, Michigan
Gifting the Fool's Fix
"Just wanted to know if you guys (and gal) offer Gift Certificates? My husband LOVES your coffee! It all started while deployed in Iraq. We, the family, would like to purchase some for him so he can continue to feed his COFFEE FOOL addiction! Thanks!"
— Emily, Morristown, Tennessee
Sugar-Free and Still Addicted
"Hello, I absolutely love your coffee!! I’ve been a customer for years, but my question is this... I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes and would like to know if all your flavored coffees are sugar-free. If not, could you please tell me which ones are not, since I need to restrict sugar from my diet now? Thank you for your wonderful coffee. I am a BIG fan and it’s the ONLY coffee I now buy. Plus, I take it to work and serve it to them... it’s a favorite, for sure!"
— Judi, Marysville, California

Thanksgiving Coffee Gets the Spotlight

Foolash Goulash = Flavor Adventure
"I’m sitting here drinking my second cup of Foolash Goulash and I have to say WOW! I expected it to be good — all your coffee is — but I didn’t expect it to be this good. There are some very interesting high and low notes, with a little kick at the end. This is a great idea for anyone wanting to save a little cash or who is somewhat adventurous. Thank you for an extremely interesting cup."
— David, Seattle, Washington
Everything You Promised Came True
"Thanks for the follow-up. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am with your service and coffee. Even the packaging was so cool. Everything you say on your website is true.

— Lisa, Epping, New Hampshire
LOVE, LOVE, Absolutely LOVE
"Oh OK, that’s right — this is a busy time for the Postal Service. Makes total sense. Thank you for your prompt reply. By the way, I LOVE, LOVE, absolutely LOVE your coffee! I’ve tried 4 different kinds so far and I like all of them. They are all so unique in flavor, but they are all so GOOD!! So, thank you for making the best coffee! And thanks for the update. Have a great day."
— Chris, Atlanta, Georgia

— Ed, Bakersfield, California
Creme Brulee Converts the House
"You guys are so totally awesome! We used to get coffee from ***** way back when, and thought that was good coffee. When I finally talked my husband into trying your coffee a few years ago, he proclaimed that he would NEVER go back! Now we have another friend over for dinner every night and he can't live without after-dinner coffee. We always double our order so that half goes straight to him. He is a MAJOR coffee drinker and goes through several pots a day. Your coffee is the only coffee anyone in this house will drink! Kudos on developing what this family believes is the best coffee in the world!!! P.S. your Creme Brulee is the best! I have a hard time drinking 'real' coffee due to the acid in it, but I tried the Creme Brulee and I absolutely love it! Now I can drink real coffee with the big kids! Thank you! Have a great Thanksgiving!"
— Candice, Frisco, Texas
Hooked on the Fire Starter

— Candice, Benton City, Washington
Chocolate Raspberry Convert
"Hi! WE are new customers and just placed our second order. Your coffee is wonderful! I had been a ***** customer for years just for their chocolate raspberry coffee flavor which was hard to find elsewhere UNTIL I accidentally found your website and after my first shipment from you, had to cancel *****, and am now your customer! Anyway I just placed my second order with Coffee Fool and want to send your coffee to my cousins as a present and they do not have a coffee grinder so I wonder if you sell coffee grinders (did not see on the website). Thanks and happy Thanksgiving."
— Keith, Las Vegas, Nevada
African Cinnamon Obsession
"I just wanted to say that I've been a Coffee Fool for about a year now and after my most recent order, I've fallen in love with your African Cinnamon. My god, that coffee is sooo good! There are plenty others on your website that I have yet to try, but I just wanted to e-mail you and tell you how pleased I am with your coffee (and of course, which coffee has captured my heart...)! Keep doing what you're doing!"
— Myreen, Boulder City, Nevada

— Brandon, Cambridge, Massachusetts
Finally, the Real Stuff
"Made my first pot and tasted it. Said to myself, 'what's wrong with this coffee?' Then it hit me, NOTHING!!! 45 years of drinking coffee and I finally had my first cup of really GOOD stuff. I'm ruined for even the faux gourmet beans in the local stores. I'm now a very proud new FOOL!!"
— David, Kettering, Ohio

Foolishly Grateful
"Hi fellow fools. My shipment from my first purchase just arrived and I am very pleased. Had the Kona yesterday morning, had the Blue Mountain this morning and will have the Boxmasters Blend tomorrow morning.

— Susan, Falling Waters, West Virginia

From Store Brand to Coffee Evangelist
I was in the grocery store holding a bag of dried-up beans, and a lady asked if it was good. I told her, ‘No, I don’t know what I’m doing,’ then described your sweet, oily beans. I put it back and came home to reorder my Fool’s House French.

I am currently drinking a LARGE second cup of Chocolate Covered Cherry. I make my coffee using 1/2 decaf & 1/2 regular so that I can drink twice as much with the same amount of caffeine. Thanks.

— Rebecca, Maineville, Ohio

I also ordered some Chocolate Espresso for myself to use in my little one-cup coffee maker in my office for my afternoon perk—if you will pardon the pun. :) Opening that bag of Chocolate Espresso releases a scent like that of a pan of brownies fresh from the oven! Heaven! I’ve ordered from Coffee Fool several times now and we have always received our coffee quickly without any problems. Thanks for making such a great product!"
— Patrick, Lakewood, Ohio
Hosting Regretfully Generous Guests
"Can you ship my order today? I have run completely out due to this miserable bunch of chiseling misers who were 'visiting' or claimed to be. I served from my stash instead of a friggin’ can, which they would not have noticed. After the 'wow’s this is good!' they kept drinking it like water. I was feeling heady so—coffee-'Foolishly'—I showed them all your bag, told the story and gave them the website. More 'water' with the '900 flavors' was ordered up and joyously consumed until I had to announce that sadly I had run out."
— Robin, Wood River, Illinois

— George & Leanne, Stockton, California
Skeptic Turned Believer
"Hi! I never ever write to food manufacturers (even if I love their products), but I had to make an exception in your case.

It is seriously the best coffee I've ever tasted. Keep up the good work!"

"I work with a woman that I consider to be a 'coffee snob'. She only drinks the finest Kona coffee and is rather smug about it. Today I took in my bag of Hawaiian Kauai and offered her a pot. She came in to see me and said that it was probably the best coffee she had ever had! She is no longer a 'coffee snob', she is a Coffee Fool! Thank you for such delicious coffee! I have 4 varieties and they are all just wonderful! I think I will give her one of my Coffee Fool mugs!"
— Valerie, Alberta, Canada
Stocked Up and Foolish in the Desert
"We have to stay stocked-up around here. When the dust storms hit there are no cargo flights for days at a time. I have to add that my wife said that Coffee Fool was actually cheaper than that other stuff I was buying. Hopefully, I can get by to visit and personally thank your staff for providing a great service—and for supporting the troops. I have attached a couple of photographs. Thank you and God bless."
— Elaine, Arizona City, Arizona
Boxmasters Blend in Iraq
"Just wanted to say thanks for your fast shipping and delicious coffee. I bought the Boxmasters Blend, being a fan of Billy Bob's. Thanks again for excellent service."
— Robert, US Marines, Iraq
It Sells Itself
"FYI, you have the only product I've seen that literally sells itself. It's quite amazing."
— Shawnee, Simi Valley, California
Finally, a French Roast That Delivers
"Hi, first thanks for making some great coffee. I recently purchased some of your French Roast to put you to the test and you passed with flying colors. I have tried to find a good French Roast for some time and have been disappointed over and over again. Our ubiquitous coffee shop can’t roast a bean to save their lives. What junk—they are killing the American ability to taste and appreciate a good cup of coffee. So thanks very much for reminding me that there are some people who care about the good things in life; coffee is one for me. I have been drinking the stuff since I was a child and love a good cup of coffee. Keep it up—I will be back to order more coffee and let others know about the great coffee!"
— Rom, Burbank, California
Skeptic No More
"I would have to admit that I was a skeptic, but there is a distinct difference in your coffee and the rest. I even went to six-bucks to try one on their best day and you definitely know the flavor is in the Coffee Fool package. Fresh, smooth and definitely not bitter. Thanks."
— Gregory, Carmel, Indiana
We’re Hooked and Blending
"What can I say, I'm only on our third bag of your coffee and I can't drink that other stuff anymore. I'm still trying to find exactly the right coffee for my husband and I and your staff has been very helpful. The last two I ordered were Light Italian and Seven Bean Blend and they suggested that I mix them for a great tasting blend—and they were right. I bought a Bodum French Press and a conical burr bean grinder, which makes a huge difference, but even using our new grinder and old Braun drip coffee maker your coffee is the best I've ever had. I guess I'm a coffee fool now and I'm spreading the word! Thanks again."
— Grant, Temecula, California
Fabulous Flavor, All the Love
"OK, thanks sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much and I want you to know I absolutely LOVE your coffee—love love love it. The quality is fabulous."

Veteran Buyer Approves
"Dear Coffee Fools, I retired as a green coffee buyer many years ago and have long had to put up with abysmal whole bean coffee once I had lost my selection from the Front Street NY sources. In a retail gourmet whole bean trade where there seems to be more mystique sold than generosity, your product stands head and shoulders over all others I have tried. Congratulations. Keep up the good work."
— Alaina, Waterford, Virginia
Won’t Be Fooled Again
"Yow! Some other brand got a good mention in Consumer Reports. Disloyal weasel that I was, I ordered some. Mistake. Sorry, won’t happen again."
— Clive, Norwalk, Connecticut
Burnt Beans No More
"By the way, I'm relatively new to your company and simply love your coffee. It's nice to find good coffee that doesn’t have the 'burnt' taste and shiny beans that everyone seems to think tastes so good. Thanks."
— JS, Mountain View, California
Fool for Life
"I had to write and tell you that I absolutely love your coffee. Yep, I am a Fool for life now. It’s the best tasting coffee I’ve ever had. Keep up the Great Work! And thanks so much!"
— Jerry, Bethel, Arkansas
Snoodle Doodle Devotee
"Good morning! I am sipping a hot mug of Snoodle Doodle as I type this message. Your coffee is wonderful and I hope you will be around a loooooooong time. I first became aware of the Coffee Fool web site several months ago while hoping to locate an increasingly hard flavor to find for a friend (decaf Irish Cream). Little did I know when I struck gold for that friend that it would be the beginning of outstanding coffee for me too! Since then, I have ordered often, and become very attached to several of your flavored and premium coffee beans. You were absolutely right about the others’ sometimes burnt taste. Thank you for being around!"
— Tina, Unknown
Germany-Grade Coffee
"I just tried your coffee for the first time. This is the best cup I’ve had since I left Germany 15 years ago. Thank you, thank you, thank you, I no longer have to pine for days gone by."

— JB, Apache Jct., Arizona
Tanzanian Peaberry Saved Us
"My wife has always hated *****. She also disliked most of the coffee I brought home from other places. She got so tired of most coffee that she started using ***** Coffee Singles!!!! That was... until I brewed up a pot of your Tanzanian Peaberry!!! She now loves your coffee. Her other favorite is the Kauai. Thanks again for providing such a great product!!"
— Colleen, Ruffsdale, Pennsylvania
Glitch? No Problem. Still a Fan!
"I have to say that I am totally hooked on your coffee and will continue to purchase from you. I have also told many friends about your site and the wonderful fresh coffee beans you offer and the good prices too. So never fear, I am not mad or disappointed in you for this order having a 'glitch' (we’re all human, after all!)... to the contrary, I am thrilled with your great service and fantastic fresh quality coffee."
— Chris, Kingston, Washington
One Cup Was All It Took
"Your coffee is truly different and very good. I initially bought a shipment but was skeptical. It only took one cup for me to see that this coffee is wonderful."
— Cheri, Harbor, Washington
Puts the Others to Shame
"Coffee Fool: You're right! Your coffee does put the others to shame. It has a wonderful aroma as well as taste and I LOVED IT! Problem is the one I purchased is a little rich for my pocketbook, but it was a treat. I am considering another with Kona blend. I even went so far as to write one of the major coffee companies and told them their coffee is bitter. The return email came up with all kinds of excuses. She is even sending me a letter in a couple of weeks. Not sure what other excuses they will have, but I’m ready to tell it like it is, if she asks. Thanks for a great cup of coffee."
— Jacque, Sewanee, Tennessee
Spoiled for Other Coffee
"Hi there, I just wanted to email you to tell you how great I think your coffee is. I have been ordering from you since late 2004 or early 2005 (not sure of exact date) and you have spoiled me for other coffee. I have strayed a few times to some other sites but their coffee just doesn’t measure up to yours. And ***** coffee makes me gag no matter how much syrup, foam or sugar I add!! I even take your coffee on trips and vacations—I’m obsessed!! My favorites are Jamaican Blue, Hawaiian Kona, Kona Blend, Vanilla Macadamia Nut and Coconut Dreams. And I start everyday with it, no matter where I am!!"
— Elaine, Sioux Falls, South Dakota
Bitterness Be Gone
"Thank you for your delightful coffee and service. They are both excellent. I could not believe it when I first tried it. I figured NO ONE could take the bitterness out of coffee but figured it was worth a try, so I ordered from you. What a GREAT cup of coffee. I love it. Sincerely,"
— Phyllis, US Virgin Islands
Dang Good Coffee
"That is some dang good coffee. I was expecting it to be bitter just because that is the way it has always been — LOVE IT!!"
— Freda, Warrenton, Virginia
Coffee Fool: A Class Apart
"I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for your quality product. I just received my shipment of Columbian last week and have enjoyed it immensely, as always! Coffee Fool coffee is the ship; all other brands are the sea. I’ve been encouraging all my coffee-drinking friends and family to check out your website. I wish you had other products (shirts, caps, etc.) so I could help advertise!"
— J.M., Ormond Beach, Florida
Fresh and Fantastic
"Got the coffee yesterday and I love it. Excellent taste and very fresh!!!"
— Joe, Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Better Than Sex Coffee
"Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I just purchased two packets of your banana nut coffee. And, I normally don’t take the time to do such things as compliment via email. But, Wow! Oh, Wow! I was hesitant that it would have an overpowering artificial flavor. But you have done something that has just turned my coffee drinking experience into something totally ORGASMIC. I now call your Banana Nut Coffee — Better Than Sex Coffee!"
— Vic, Belvedere, South Carolina
Wowing the Baristas
"Every shift we have to do a coffee tasting at *****, so I brought in some beans of the Yauco, and allowed my fellow Baristas to taste it; one guy said that he 'didn’t know that coffee was supposed to be brown and not black' another said that 'this was the freshest coffee he’d ever tasted' and another said she 'could actually drink this straight without sugar.' I urge friends and customers to visit your website. Thank you again for setting a new standard on high quality coffee."
— CD, Shorewood, Wisconsin
In Love with Coffee
"I never write to companies to sing their praises but in your case I am actually taking the time to do just that. When I say I love your coffee I am making an understatement. If it’s possible to be in love with a beverage then I guess that’s what I am. I will never love another as much! Thank you for bringing such tasty coffee into my life!"
— Shanae, Unknown
Hooked for Good
"I can’t tell you how much I love your coffee. I used to order from ***** but since I tried your coffee I can’t drink anything else. I ran out this week and had to buy a small amount of grocery store coffee. I can’t believe people actually drink that stuff. I can’t wait to get my next order from you guys. Keep it up!!!! I’ll always recommend you as long as you don’t change your process."
— Kimberly, Winston-Salem, North Carolina
Expectations exceeded
"Dear Coffee Fool, It's nice to do business with a company that doesn't just meet my expectations but exceeds them. Bravo! Your online ordering system is efficient and simple. Your shipping and communication are prompt and helpful. And your product is without equal. Congratulations on earning another loyal customer and Coffee Fool. Sincerely,"
— David, Rockford, Minnesota
Smooth and delicious
"I just tried my first cup of your Organic Fair Trade Breakfast Brew. It was unlike anything I had ever tasted before. There was not a hint of bitterness, just smooth and delicious all the way through. Thanks for such a great product! I look forward to trying other varieties, and I'll be sending a coffee-snob friend of mine a gift certificate."
— David, St. Joseph, Michigan
Burnt bean syndrome cured
"I'm sure you have heard this many times. I just bought coffee from your company and I can't tell you how impressed I am with its quality. I could not wait to open the bag. (Super fast delivery, too.) The aroma was so good that my kids thought I had lit a candle. And the taste was really great. No bitterness or what I call "the burnt bean syndrome." If the 7 bean blend is this good, I can hardly wait to get to Fool's House Vienna. And the others, too, for that matter. I am also a member of ***** coffee service and I must say that this is even better than that. Thanks so much!"
— Chris, Sarasota, Florida
Spreading the word in New York
"Hello I just wanted to say thank you for these awesome beans and your second to none customer service and easy to use website!!! In return, me and another customer William have been working hard trying to convert coffee drinkers in the western New York area!! I am a 33 year old power lifter/strongman and I am around a lot of coffee drinkers at my gym, I did convert one customer of yours by the name of Tammy and I hope she is doing well for you!! I also work at ***** in Dunkirk New York and I am currently working on a few ***** drinkers there as well!! I will let you know how I do on my next order!! Thanks again"
— Vicki, Westerville, Ohio
Coffee off champion
"Dear Executive fools, I used to buy *****'s organic French roast, in small amounts, and one time it was so good with a rich chocolate taste to it. The other times I bought it, it was flat with a burned aftertaste, but I always remembered that one batch. Saw the Coffee Fool on the web, and started to think maybe the "story" they told was true. Received the Coffee Fool organic French roast coffee and right away noticed that the beans were oily and had an incredible aroma. Shopped later that day at Whole Foods and saw they had the ***** brand organic French roast with a sign saying "Freshly filled on 1/25" (it was the 26th), I smelled the bin and it too had that rich aroma but the beans were not oily. So I bought a small amount of the ***** coffee and did a coffee off. Used a one cup coffee filter, same water temp (180°F), and same grind. The Coffee Fool coffee during the brewing had a rich froth collect on the top of the water as it filtered through the ground coffee and the coffee had the chocolate taste with no burned/bitter after taste—GREAT! The ***** brewed up with the same rich smelling cream on the top of the water as it filtered through the ground coffee, and then I tasted it: no chocolate taste and a mild bitter aftertaste—oh well, now I am a Coffee Fool. You have great beans and an excellent roaster, will spread the word. Thanks,"
— Jason, Fredonia, New York

Never had a better experience
"I just wanted to write to you and let you know that I have never in my life had such a wonderful experience with a company. I have been buying coffee from you for about 2–3 years now.

I just wanted to say thank you very much and keep up the good work! Cheers!"
— Jade Johnson, Fargo, North Dakota

"BEST COFFEE I EVER DRANK!! I am shouting."
— George, Manassas, Virginia
Saved from floor sweepings
"You did a terrific job. The coffee is exactly as I have come to expect. The shipping was so fast I didn't have to drink 'floor sweepings.' (That is the moniker my husband has given all other expensive and inexpensive coffees.) He's not a coffee drinker, yet; but it can't be long with all of the wonderful aromas of your coffees. I really thought I was doomed this time. I ordered Wednesday night, with only a small quantity on hand and had my coffees by Saturday. Thanks again from a Coffee Fool convert, nothing else will do."
— Ralph, Effort, Pennsylvania
Absolutely the best
"I just wanted to let you know that your coffee is 'ABSOLUTELY' the very very, very best I have ever tasted. Even if I wasn't a coffee drinker, the aroma would convince me. I have told every 'coffee fool' I know and have given them your website. I don't know why everyone doesn't order your coffee!! It is WONDERFUL!!"
— Martha, St Petersburg, Florida
Unique and impressive
"Just had to tell you what a great site and unique coffee business you have! I would buy from you but I buy my fair trade coffee from a primate rescue non-profit. But if I didn't, I would buy from you. GREAT JOB!"
— Linda, Wichita, Kansas
Ruined for life
"Dear Coffee Fools, You have another addict. I love my coffee. I laughed at your claim that if I tried yours I would be spoiled. After all, I buy directly from ***** and ***** to name just a couple. Your coffee blew them out of the water. I will never be able to drink any other coffee. I normally use 2 Equals in my coffee...now I only need one half packet!. I just can not believe it. People rave on and on about *****...that has got to be the most over roasted and burned coffee in the world. It is detestable. I wish you had local coffee houses. You would be wealthy! Anyway, thanks, I think... ruined for life!"
— Ann, Unknown
Best coffee ever
"I received my coffee today. It was the best coffee I ever had! Thank You!"
— Kim, Melbourne, Florida
Sharper with every cup
"Greetings, I am writing to rave about your coffee beans. My husband and I sampled our first bags today, and we are impressed. The beans smelled fabulous right out of the bag, they ground better, and made a smooth and delicious drink. The most stunning effect was the quality of the caffeine content. Usually when I drink coffee, I feel a little dehydrated and ill, with a tendency to feel numbness in my extremities. I balance this with the pros of increased energy and alertness. Your coffee beans not only reduced the negative impact of caffeine, but increased the pros. I have these brain test games for the Nintendo DS, Flash Focus and Brain Age 2, which test things such as hand-eye coordination, eye movement, and various mental skills. I've been taking these tests every day for over a week now, and today, even several hours after drinking some of your coffee, I tested much higher on these games than usual. I am convinced! We are going to buy all our beans from you for now on! Thank you."
— Jared, Oakwood, Ohio
Fabulous from the first pot
"I would like to say thanks for turning me on to your coffee. We have had our first pot this morning and it is fabulous, very good and just what I was looking for. Thanks again the coffee is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
— Catherine, Puyallup, Washington
The fool’s curse
"You have ruined my coffee drinking life! I can't enjoy coffee anywhere anymore, I have to take my own 'fool' coffee with me everywhere I go! I don't like *****, Office Coffee, and Restaurant Coffee—only the Fool's Coffee I make at home!!!!! I try to ruin all my coffee drinking friends' lives, too. I get them hooked on the real thing and their life is never the same again. Seriously, THANK YOU from the bottom of my cup."
— Schaffer’s, Farragut, Tennessee
Greatest tasting coffee
"Just want to say Thanks. I received the Coffee this afternoon. I just sat down and had one of the greatest tasting Coffee I've ever tasted. Thanks."
— Cynthia, Russellville, Arkansas
Clarity in a cup
"Got my order and the coffee is INCREDIBLE! What a rush to drink it when I get up in the am. It gives me a clarity of mind I haven't felt for a long time. And the taste and aroma is the best too! Thank you!!"
— Alvin, Sebring, Florida
Flavored decaf jackpot
"I clicked on your link from an AOL news story thinking it was a news story about coffee. When I saw how many flavored decaf coffees you had I about jumped out of my seat. It is SO hard to find a good variety of flavored decaf. You can bet I'll be ordering my next batch of coffee from you. I can't wait. Thanks!"
— Thomas, Burtchville, Michigan
To hell with burnt coffee
"You guys ain't messing around! I can't even stand the smell of my ***** coffee anymore. BRAVO! To hell with ***** and their burnt crap, this stuff is the real deal!!! THANK YOU!!!"
— Mary, Baltimore, Maryland
Proud coffee fool
"I tried your coffee last year or early this year and was totally amazed how much better your coffee is, but I thought I was paying a little too much. I was getting coffee from ***** because of a promo, and I thought it was great—until I got coffee from the Fools. What a difference! I now know what real coffee tastes like. Even with shipping charges, I'm saving money buying from the Fools. I keep a log to prove it to my wife. I now buy in bulk to avoid running out. I tossed 3 pounds of junk coffee from here—caught hell for it, but never going back! Thank you again."
— Ronald, Richwood, Texas
Bring Santa’s cookies back year-round
"I got my order of Santa's Cookies today, and all I can say is that it's still my favorite! It tastes and smells better than I remembered! I hope this becomes a top seller so I can get it all year long. Maybe re-name it Grandma's Cookies off-season! Thank you for adding it for me when I asked. Your customer for LIFE."
— Dave, Paxinos, Pennsylvania
Nothing compares
"I just received my first order of coffee from you guys (African Cinnamon & House Italian Med, both whole bean). I am writing to say thank you—delicious. I have been so disappointed in EVERY coffee purchase for a long time. ***** was the only drinkable one—until now. I’ll pass the word: COFFEEFOOL IS BY FAR THE BEST COFFEE. Thank you!"
— Raeshannon, Chubbuck, Idaho
Spoiled by freshness
"Until the time I received your coffee, I thought I had to settle for ***** House Blend or pay $5 at a coffee shop. You are absolutely right about freshness—I'm spoiled now. I’ll keep introducing other ‘fools’ to your product and send new customers your way."
— Melanie, Akron, Ohio
Thankful every morning
"Just a quick note to tell you that I LOVE your coffee. I stumbled on your website and I’m thankful every morning. I just placed another order and I’m so eager to receive it! Thank you for amazing coffee!"
— John, US Forces, Iraq
Freshest and bestest
"I just had to take a minute to gush on you guys. Not only do you have the freshest and bestest (I know it's not a word...) coffee on the planet, but your online ordering could NOT be easier. I've implemented procurement systems and yours is incredibly efficient. It's rare to see an organization pair product quality with streamlined operations. Bravo! So... when are you starting your retail chain to show Americans what real coffee is all about?"
— Amanda, Murfreesboro, Tennessee
Spoiled for life
"Hello, I had to write and admit my guilt. I was unfaithful to Coffee Fool—I ordered from ***** because they gave me a free coffee machine. Their coffee, however, sucked! It was stale, dried up, and old. I cancelled immediately. I won’t stray again. You’ve spoiled me for life with fresh coffee!"
— Jeff, New Hartford, Connecticut
Back to whole beans
"Fools, really enjoying my coffee. Thanks! I’d like to keep my regular order the same but switch to whole beans rather than ground."
— Wayne, Townshend, Vermont
Better than the rest
"First, let me say that I am a loyal customer and regularly give away bags of your product because I enjoy it so much. I tried ***** and cancelled after the first cup!"
— Jerry, Austin, Texas
Very good coffee
"Very good coffee! I will be back for more and more."
— Chris, Dallas, Texas
Hooked on the buttered rum

— A., Houston, Texas
More secret bean, please
"Hello you wonderful people, Would you please increase my order to 4 of the Secret Bean along with the 2 Kona. I find we are going through it sooner than I thought possible. If possible, please send me the 2 additional as soon as possible and set my order up with the new amount starting on the 20th? Appreciate you. Have told so many people about Coffee Fool. If they don't listen to me it's their loss. Thanks again."
— Frank and Eulene, San Pedro, California
Pumpkin spice heaven
"I bought your Pumpkin Spice coffee a few weeks ago and am in heaven. You have now gained a customer for life. I love your coffee!!!!"
— Pat, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma
A new loyal customer
"Dear C.F.'s, A couple of weeks ago, I ordered some Peaberry from you. It was the first order I placed. I was reasonably satisfied with the quality of the coffee and will start buying all of my coffee from you. The Peaberry was almost what I remembered. I am anxious to try the Celebes and the Sumatran. I will place another order as soon as I get done drinking the two pounds of ***** (gag) I just opened. I certainly appreciated the quality of the roast. Thanks."
— Brenda, Broken Arrow, Oklahoma
Customer for life
"A customer for life! (You had one before this anyway, because I love your coffee! :) I will give it to a friend who likes decaf. Thank you again and have a wonderful day!"
— David, Bakersfield, California
Converting the masses
"To Whom It May Concern: I have become a devoted fan (and patron) of Coffee Fool. So far I have introduced 3 others to the magnificence of your coffee. None of us can quite understand why your coffee is so much better than even our local roaster's best."
— Carolyn, Homerville, Georgia
A convert at 55
"Hello from another pair of Fools, since ordering your coffee, nothing else that we buy tastes as good and as fresh. The closest is some of ***** but it is way overpriced and not quite up to par with your coffee. I am 55 years of age and have never liked the taste of coffee and never drank it at all in all of my years. After tasting your coffee, I am now hooked!! My wife and I have some every evening and if I had more time in the morning, I would have it then also."
— Amy, Denver, Colorado
Doctor-approved flavor
"I am sitting here drinking my COFFEEFOOL.COM Decaf French Roast. If I had known decaf would be this strong and rich, I would have listened to the doctor years ago! Thanks!"
— Garry and Sharon, Lake Elsinore, California
We love it
"Received the coffee and we love it. Thanks so much. Will order again."
— Bill, Williamsburg, VA
Burnt cardboard no more
"Not only is your coffee the freshest, most flavorful coffee I've ever enjoyed, but as you advertised, there is no going back to store bought coffee. Even so-called premium coffees I’ve purchased elsewhere taste like burnt cardboard now. Bleck!"
— Richard, Dover, Pennsylvania
Espresso ruined us forever
"Your coffee has utterly and completely destroyed our ability to drink any other coffee! We’ve been drinking Coffee Fool coffee for a while now, but recently we purchased a DeLonghi Magnifico espresso machine—and oh my God! The coffee we drink now is at such a high standard that my wife and I are finding we can’t drink anything else. First it was the Yauco, then the Australian, and now it’s the Dominican! My wife declared this morning that she can no longer enjoy anything but your Dominican, and if you ever stop selling it, she will not be able to go on! So I’m ordering another 2.25 lbs immediately. And a bag of Blue Mountain for me too. Seriously, your 'sales pitch' is frighteningly real. A friend told me he didn’t realize how good Coffee Fool was until he ran out and had to drink something else. Now he’s ruined, too. Your coffee should be illegal… oh wait—you didn’t hear me say that!"
— Ben, Orange Park, Florida
Contagiously amazing
"I happened across your website and eventually ordered some coffee. All my wife and I have to say is, 'Thank you.' In effect, you have ruined us. We can’t stand store bought coffee now. We are now giving it to relatives to 'ruin' them as well. ;)"
— Michael, Boulder, Colorado
Love letter to coffee
"After trying your coffee, I was amazed. I’m sorry I ever left you. The commercials and online ads from other companies were tempting, but I regret even looking at another roaster. It’s over between ***** and me. In fact, here’s the letter I sent them: 'I thought I only hated your coffee after trying several blends. But I hate your company. You put me in a club I didn’t ask to join, your coffee pales in comparison, your cancellation links don’t work, and I got unexpected charges. Close your doors and leave us alone.' Coffee Fool, take me back. I’m a changed man. You’ve earned a loyal, frequent customer."
— Stewart, Burbank, California
Heart of the home
"Dear friends, I just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work that goes into your coffee. I work from home in upstate NY caring for my three beautiful children while my wife works hard. When she comes home, I have dinner ready, candles lit, and a mug of your wonderful coffee waiting. You help us relax and enjoy life, even for just one meal together as a family."
— Charle, Houston, Texas

— Bill, Sparrowbush, New York
Oh my stars!
"I have just finished the first 12 oz bag from my order. Oh my stars! What have you done! I am hooked! I have never tasted better coffee in my life. Congratulations to your company and all involved. My only fear—please don’t change anything. I’ll be trying more varieties and look forward to my next cup. God bless and continued success."
— Linda, Alamogordo, New Mexico
Lives up to the hype
"I just received my first order and of course I had to try your coffee immediately. I have to say that it is a superior coffee and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I will be a regular customer in the future. It’s a rare treat to buy something that lives up to the hype."
— Cindy, Rush Springs, Oklahoma
Knocked out by aroma
"I just HAD to write and tell you that I almost fell over from the amazing aroma that rose out of my newly delivered bag of coffee. By the way, I love your packaging too. I’m brewing the coffee now and can’t wait to sip away. Thank you for all of the wonderful coffees so far… I look forward to more!"
— Ken, Mill Valley, California
Corporate coffee conversion
"It is refreshing dealing with a smaller company that emphasizes quality and customer service. To make it short, this is the best coffee I’ve ever had in my life! No more ***** visits. You’ve gained a customer for life. In fact, several of us at my company now consider your coffee a critical part of our operations! As soon as you open the bag, the fresh aroma brings a big smile. So glad I stumbled upon Coffee Fool through a Google ad. Keep up the excellent work!"
— Patti, Palatine, Illinois
Coconut dream delight
"I just wanted to tell you that you did an excellent job with the Coconut Dream coffee. I love it. A true delight."
— Derek, Ontario, Canada
Big hit with coworkers
"I bought coffee gifts for my co-workers...BIG HIT...I KNEW IT WOULD BE!!!"
— Linda, Clinton, Wisconsin
Heaven in a bag
"We just bought some of your coffee for the first time, based on the claims & info on your website (which I saw from an ad online). So far, we’ve only opened the Dutch Chocolate variety and it’s fantastic—no bitterness at all. My wife exclaimed, 'Wow, this smells like Heaven' when she first opened the bag. She and our daughter are the big coffee drinkers in our home, but I even like this stuff! Thanks very much and keep up your quality. We’ll be regular customers from here on out."
— Candy, Frisco, Texas
Freshness you can smell
"Wow, you guys weren’t kidding—your stuff is good. I ordered the Celebes I think, and wow is it good! I don’t remember ever smelling the berry of the coffee bean. I assume it’s because it’s so fresh. I also ordered the Italian Medium. I haven’t had the chance to use it yet, but the oil on the bean looks gorgeous! Thanks so much."

— Justin, Bullhead City, Arizona
Word-of-mouth explosion

More than a cup
"I wanted to say thank you. I made an order for some of your coffee a couple weeks ago and had you send it to a family member in Homestead, FL who is dying. Randy had said many times how much he loved his coffee and so when we saw you online it was perfect to send him something to make his time left special. Randy is still with us and he told me that the day the Coffee arrived was on his birthday. I did not even know when his birthday was. He told the following story about your coffee: 'I had just made a pot of coffee when the mail ran and there was this box. I had no idea what it was but when I opened it and found the Coffee I went and poured out the entire pot I had just made and made a pot of Coffee from what had just arrived. I sat on a stool beside the counter and smelled the coffee as it made and then poured myself a cup. I sat on the couch in the quiet and closed my eyes, smelling the cup of coffee. I sat with my eyes closed the entire time while I drank that cup of coffee and it was wonderful. I have never in my life enjoyed a cup of coffee that much.' I wanted to share this story with you so that you would understand that sometimes a cup of coffee is more than just a cup of coffee. Sometimes it is a gift from God as you spend your last few weeks here on earth. Thank you for the Coffee Delivery Right On Time."
— Allison, Richardson, Texas
Black coffee test passed
"I love the coffee so far! My personal test is always—does the coffee taste great all on its own without cream or sugar. I am able to drink your coffee 'bare'..."

Internet radio buzz
"Just wanted to thank you for providing the freshest coffee I've ever tasted! I love it so much that I've been recommending it to listeners of our internet radio station—in fact, one of our listeners wrote today to tell me he just picked up your Kona Blend after hearing me rant and rave! Gotta get the word out—you guys are awesome."

Coconut Dreams obsession

— JT, New York, New York
Coffee repairmen approved
"I will pass along how great your coffee is! In fact, it's funny because my son and I operate a small business where we repair commercial brewers for coffee vendors. I know that I will only be drinking your coffee from now on and was hoping maybe you had a brochure/catalog that you could send me so that I could have it on hand and maybe set up automatic shipments to my home. Thanks again—I am really happy that I found you guys because I love coffee... good coffee that is!"
— Carl, Tallahassee, Florida
From bleh to bliss
"Good afternoon! First and foremost, I just received my first shipment of your coffee and I LOVE it! I have to say that 2 years ago, I wouldn't have even considered drinking coffee—bleh! Couldn't stomach it, never had an urge to drink it. Of course, occasionally, I would enjoy the smell of it. That's ok, I like the smell of new tires and concrete, but I'm not planning on ingesting either of those—ha ha! A little over a year ago, my friend got me to try a blended coffee drink—it was pretty darned good. But that was mostly because it was FULL of sugar to cover up the taste of the bleh—coffee! Well I continued to get those blended drinks from time to time—killing both my wallet and my waistline—gotta run one more mile for that drink. Then, winter came and I thought—phwew... I'll be able to kick this horrible habit. Aaaahhhh no, as the caffeine gods would have it, I was hooked. My wallet and waistline continued to take a hit, so I worked my way into my favorite drink w/ 3/4 coffee, 1/4 steamed milk and 4 pumps EACH of caramel and mocha—yes... still trying to cover up the taste of the bleh—burnt tasting coffee! You may know which famous coffee place I am referring, but I won’t name any names... Xmas brought not only a coffee maker, but a coffee bean grinder as well, so began my trials making my own coffee. I managed to make up some pretty neat concoctions from the grocery store... a little of this flavor... a little of that... sure, they turned out pretty good—I gave up the 'retail coffee' and enjoyed my own—MUCH cheaper, and I feel better 'tasting' coffee. Then, I happened upon your site, took interest, and the rest is history! Your coffee is fantastic! OMG, it tastes exactly how it is described! I can TASTE, the TASTES! I LOVE THIS COFFEE! Now, I'm trying to get my Xmas list ready, I know several people who will enjoy your coffee as much as I have. So, this is my way of saying THANK YOU for making me a coffee fool!"
— Mariann, San Jose, California
A wine-like experience
"We just got our first order last week (Cherry & Secret Bean). I hate you for making the coffee at work taste so bad. I love the subtle tastes in the coffee (almost like drinking wine!)... I hate the fact that you have so many different types of coffee (I feel like a kid in a candy shop), but I just love the experience of fresh coffee. Keep up the great work!"
— Joann, Tallahassee, Florida
Instant convert
"I just got my first order from you and I am AMAZED. This is, hands down, the very best coffee I have ever had. I clicked on a link of yours (New York Times or ALDAILY.COM I think?) and decided to give you a try. I'm completely sold on your coffee. This is simply incredible and I'll be buying from you exclusively from here on in."
— Danette, Minooka, Illinois
Nurse’s station favorite
"I'm a Registered Nurse & in my unit of the hospital we can make our own coffee (thank God). I have been buying ***** Coffee for at least 10 years and would not consider other brands. People come from other departments just to get a cup of my coffee. Another nurse has been telling me about your wonderful coffee & I just couldn't believe it. So she brought me your Brazilian Santos!!!!! Well, not only did I fall in love with the taste, but the smell is out of this world. I could walk around with my nose in the bag, just smelling the delicious grounds! AND I'm not the only one! Now I have people coming from other units wanting to know what time I'm making coffee. Instead of making one pot at a time, I'm having to make 2. My only wish is that I had found you a long time ago. Thank you, thank you Thank you. I can't wait to share with my daughter & my parents. Don't change a thing. It's wonderful."
— Kurt, Grand Rapids, Michigan
The neighbors come knocking
"Just signed up with you guys through Andie and wanted to let you know that your customer service is just as good as your coffee!! Keep up the great work and I hope you all enjoy your products as much as I, my uncle, dad, and neighbors do! (Seriously, all of our neighbors seem to knock when we brew Coffee Fool coffee! No joke!) Thanks for throwing the stale n' borin' out of our coffee-filled lives!"
— Pat, Harrisburg, Illinois
Ruined by perfection
"I just ordered, received and brewed my first cup of your coffee & I travel all over the world and have had coffee in many places. My current supply here at home includes coffees in the range of $20–$45.00 per pound. So I am serious about coffee! I am writing to tell you that my first cup today was absolutely the very best cup of coffee I have ever had. I am sending friends your website and telling them they MUST try for themselves. I routinely order cases of coffee from a couple of different countries I have visited and enjoy their coffee but I must say I am now ruined after tasting your coffee. LOVE IT LOVE IT – BRAVO!"
— Katie, Benton City, Washington
Pacific roast revelation
"I just wanted to drop a line to say THANKS!!! I'm an absolute coffee junkie. A 16-ounce 8-shot latte before I leave home starts to wake me up (I have an espresso machine), and a 12-ounce, 6-shot latte at 10am completes the process of waking up. I've been buying ***** Italian Roast beans to grind for espresso for a really long time. And then I stumbled upon your website, decided to give it a try, and was extremely pleasantly surprised by the freshness and taste of the Pacific roast. Not only was the coffee amazing, but I opted for UPS ground 3-5 days, and my order actually arrived in 2 days. I will be a returning customer. Thanks so much for a superior product and service!"
— Sheila, New Gloucester, Maine
Fast and flawless
"I'm enjoying the Kona, and am looking forward to the Italian roast. Your order process is quick and painless. Love that."

Hard to drink anything else
"I love your service, you are right, I have a hard time drinking any other coffee now, but all I gotta do is stay on top of keeping your coffee ordered."
— Margaret, Edina, Minnesota
Beat Guatemalan backyard beans
"Hi! I just wanted to let you know how much I love your coffee! Especially since it helped me finally win an argument with my husband. He is from Guatemala and his mother has coffee trees LITERALLY in her back yard (up the side of a mountain). So he grew up with fresh coffee from those trees, roasted in the sun and open air. I could never get him to like ANY coffee, no matter how 'gourmet' it was. Flavors left him flat. Fresh was all he talked about. Every two years he flies home to see his mother, uncles and cousins. He drinks the coffee while he's there, so the taste is always fresh in his mind. But when this coffee came, he agreed that it WAS as good as his homegrown version. YOU ROCK!!!"
— Rob, Orion, Michigan
From Folgers to Fool
"A few months ago, I saw your website advertised at work. As a coffee drinker, I was intrigued. I decided to order some for my sister first, since she drinks more than I. Previously, we all drank Folgers and were satisfied. Now, however, we're completely spoiled by your products. We are Coffee Fools! We have loved every variety we've tried, and will continue to try new flavors. Sure, it's a bit more expensive than a can of Folgers, but immensely better, therefore worth every penny. Thank you again for your great products!"
— JG, Steelton, Pennsylvania

— Caleb, Loveland, Colorado
Finally a French roast he likes
"We just tried your Fools House French and I have to let you know that my husband is a very picky coffee guy. Finally a French Roast that is not bitter especially when used for espresso. We live in Florence, Oregon and I would like to continue ordering through The Coffee Fool. Please add us to your e-mail customer list just in case you have specials that we can take advantage of to save money from time to time (But please, kindly, don't share our info:-)) You do an awesome job and kudos for the Fair Trade contribution!"
— Marilyn, North Brunswick, New Jersey
Gift-worthy service
"You guys are awesome. Thanks for changing my order and getting it here so quickly. I am so glad I stumbled on your site looking for some coffee for my mom. She likes flavored coffees—but has to have decaf. I will definitely shop with you again—for her and for me. We love our coffee!"
— Bobby + Crystal, Florence, Oregon
Brought my sense of smell back
"Came across your website by chance a few weeks ago & read your descriptions of the coffees you have available. At first, these descriptions made little impact on me because I lost most of my sense of smell (read as: I can't smell a skunk at three feet) due to an accident when I was much younger. I caught a line drive at Fenway Park with my forehead & it messed up all the nerves in my nose. However, since I haven’t been able to smell coffee brewing for about the last 40 or so years, I decided to put your claims to the test & see if my depleted olfactory capabilities could be awakened by your coffee, so that I could really enjoy a cup. So, I ordered your Hawaiian Kona & I must report that your claims are true. Not only could I smell the Kona’s marvelous aroma when the bag was opened, but I could actually smell it brewing from the other end of the house. For me, that’s almost the equivalent of breaking an ammonia capsule under my nose. My wife, who has a good sense of smell & also loves good coffee, was in 7th heaven. Thanks for living up to the claims on your website. It’s a rare thing these days to find a product that actually does live up to its claims."
— Ruth, Birmingham, Alabama
Officially in love
"Wow—great service—2 days! AND, I think I’m in love....... Your 'Secret Bean' is wonderful!!!!! I have to spread the word. This is my second order from you and I have to say your coffee is simply the best & soooo smooth. I ordered some from another online place and they all tasted the same plus bitter, bitter, bitter. They had the nerve to call them '*****'. I guess I am now an official Coffee Fool."
— Marshall, Houston, Texas
Short and sweet
"I’m glad you found me."
— Linda, Reno, Nevada
Flavored heaven
"I received my order for three pounds of your flavored coffees last week... and I’d just like to say that the only FOOL would be the people who do not purchase your Coffees! The coffee is delicious! Absolutely no hint of bitterness; the aromas and flavors actually make your mouth water! I get the caffeine JOLT, but it doesn’t leave me jittery at all! It’s terrific! My husband isn’t a big coffee fan, but even HE was tempted to try a cup or three when I brewed a pot of BUTTERED RUM coffee! He said it was good enough to drink black! (It was THAT good!) Since he is a 'three sugars and a ton of half-and-half' person, that is REALLY saying something! Two of our neighbors dropped in shortly after I made a pot of Cinnamon Hazelnut coffee, and they said it smelled good enough to use as potpourri! The scent filled the house with an inviting, warm and tantalizing scent! Not to mention the fact the coffee was gone in record time! Everyone said it was excellent! My personal favorite is Pumpkin Spice... not only does it smell and taste heavenly; it makes an exceptional Iced Coffee as well! The flavor really stands up to ice, without needing to double the quantity of coffee used to brew a pot! I will definitely be trying other flavors of fresh coffee from The Coffee Fool soon!"
— Elaine, Lake Charles, Louisiana
So delicious!
"I received my coffee today... Oh my gosh, it is SOOOO delicious!!! Thank you"
— Barbara-Ann, Weeki Wachee, Florida
Skeptic converted
"I absolutely loved your coffee the first time I ordered it a few weeks ago. One of my co-workers was leery about ordering coffee (a '***** guy') but after about two sips he was asking me for your web address. You have a great site that really does a good job of telling your company’s story as well as each of the different coffee blends. I just put in an order for Kona as well as your Caribbean Hazelnut blend, which I am excited about. You have a customer for life. I look forward to working with you again in the near future."
— Cindi, Olympia, Washington
French press bliss
"Mmmmm. Absolutely yummy. The taste matched expectations. Within 1/2 hour of receiving the order, I made myself a French Press pot. Delicious!"
— Scott, Charleston, West Virginia
Angelic intervention
"I just have had my first sip of your coffee and I must say, it is everything it was promised to be. The aroma and taste are superb and no bitter taste whatsoever! Why I used the link to your website from a news website, I am not sure. It would almost seem as if some guardian angel of coffee drinkers tapped me on the shoulder and pointed me to your ad line. I will not question the source, but I am now a loyal fool in Atlanta Georgia! Do you have gift baskets or assortments during the holidays? I have relatives all over the United States that would be surprised to taste what coffee should really taste like. We could be a family of fools.....more so than now! Thanks from a new loyal customer."
— Barbara, Erie, Pennsylvania
Dared to convert—and succeeded
"I found your site online and placed my first order last week, and in my comments, I 'Dared you to convert me'. Well, my coffee arrived on Thursday, and Friday morning I had my first cup. I opened the bag of whole beans and gave it a good sniff, then opened my normal 'premium store brand whole bean' container and repeated..... I had no idea there could be such a difference. After brewing, it was love at first sip. Even my partner, who usually dislikes the 'mud' coffee I make, noticed a difference—she is giving up ***** for your coffee..... and as for me..... you have RUINED ME for other coffees. I usually buy whole bean coffee: Sumatra, Costa Rican, Jamaican, Kauai Peaberry, Kenya AA..... none of the 'blends' for me.... and now..... Coffee Fool is it. Hallelujah! I believe! I believe!"
— Martha, Atlanta, Georgia
Secret Bean mystery
"Wow. Your Secret Bean coffee is just fantastic. I’ve had a LOT of coffee in my years (just look at what I’ve ordered from you alone), and there is something... different about your Secret Bean blend. I can’t identify where it comes from! Can you give me a clue, at least? I won’t tell anyone! At least can you tell me that you will continue to market this blend? Boy, do I look forward to having my next cup!"
— Louis, Eugene, Oregon
Decaf with full flavor
"Last week I ordered Whole Bean French Roast Decaffeinated coffee from you. I wanted to try it but was absolutely sure it wouldn’t be any different from other decaf products. I had to write you because I was knocked off my feet. This coffee was far from being tasteless and was incredibly smooth. As soon as my doctor gives the OK, I intend to dive headfirst into some 'real' coffee from your company. Thanks for the pleasant surprise."
— Dave, Hendersonville, North Carolina
Vanilla revelation
"I just got my order of French Vanilla coffee today and I must say, WOW! I made a pot and downed three cups within half an hour. This is absolutely, positively, hands down, no questions asked, the best, freshest coffee I’ve ever tasted in my life. I’m now an official Coffee Fool for life. Thanks for the excellent coffee and wonderful service. Keep up the fabulous work!"
— Doris, Denver, Colorado
Best coffee ever
"We LOVE your coffee! It is by far the best we have ever had and unless you go out of business (GOD FORBID!) we will continue to order from you forever! Thank you for finally roasting coffee the way it should be roasted."
— Cef, Council Grove, Kansas
A noble mission
"Thank you for your part in the battle to rid our world of bland, nasty, or 'everything is burnt the same' coffee shop coffee. I enjoy your coffees very much and would buy more if I wasn’t showing support for a barista friend who recently opened his own café. So far my favorite bean of yours is Yemen Mocha, but I am also partial to your Italian roast blends. Keep up the good fight. Your comrade-in-arms."
— Richard, Indianapolis, Indiana
Smells like heaven

— Philip, San Diego, California
All caps love
"WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR COFFEE!"
— Charlene, Groveland, California
Fair trade favorite
"Just a quick note to say thanks for your great coffee! I recently ordered a Fair Trade Organic French Roast, and I must say that it met all of my expectations (and my expectations are high!). I also liked your very fair and reasonable prices ;) I was a loyal customer of a Kona coffee farm with whom I had a direct relationship, but due to some product inconsistencies, I began searching for a new source. Luckily, my Google search of 'fresh coffee' came up with your website as the 1st hit! I look forward to trying all of your different coffees (maybe even a few of the flavored ones)."
— Tracy, Nashville, North Carolina
Speedy and delicious
"Our order came! So fast! Wow! Fantastic service. Love the new coffees. Absolutely delicious. Keep us posted on new stuff."
— Richard, San Diego, California
From tourist to loyalist
"Just wanted to let you know that I am a new customer and will be a long lasting customer. I have been a coffee drinker for a very long time and have never had coffee so fresh and delicious. I went on vacation last week and had to revert to drinking coffee from a café, which was not even close to the goodness I get from brewing my own at home with Coffee Fool coffee. Thank you for all your hard work and the great coffee you supply. I have already told everyone I know about the wonderful coffee I stumbled upon. I am sure they will be ordering some as soon as that crap they are drinking now is gone. Then they will realize the money they have wasted for all these years."
— The Walkers, Tampa Bay, Florida
Absolutely wonderful!
"I received the coffee Tuesday. Put on a pot of the Fair Trade Organic and enjoyed. Love the coffee! Absolutely wonderful! I will be ordering more and telling everyone. Thanks."
— Kristy, Waterloo, New York

Better than Seattle’s burnt beans
"Great coffee, better than burnt in Seattle!"
— Robert, Houston, Texas
Office favorite
"I received my order several days ago, and I wanted to say that I couldn’t be happier! I have tried different brands of coffee, including various brands sold in stores and through mail order, and yours is the best, without a doubt. Just opening the bag each day and smelling the coffee inside is a beautiful thing. I brew it at work and people flock to my office to see what the heck smells so good. Thanks for the jam up coffee!"
— Augustina, Seattle, Washington
From skeptic to loyalist
"I recently made my first purchase of coffee from you and wanted to share my experience. I am a huge coffee drinker and when I caught your link at the bottom of a friend’s e-mail, I decided what the heck, I’ll give it a try. I was completely impressed. I usually use cream in my coffee and I didn’t have any so I decided to try it without it anyway. The flavor of the coffee was so good, it didn’t need cream. There was no bitterness at all, just like you advertise. Thank you for taking such pride in your business! And thanks for the great cup of coffee. I will definitely continue to buy my coffee from you."
— Rob, Panama City, Florida
Morning routine revolution
"I’ve only made 2 pots but I now look forward to my coffee in the morning. This is great stuff!!"
— Theresa, Erial, New Jersey
A fool and proud of it
"I’ve become a Fool for your coffee. I’ve not bought a can of ***** in over 3 months. I’ve converted several ***** fans over to you. A guy at work wanted me to get him some and my last order was for him (he hasn’t set up his own account yet). He usually drinks his coffee diluted but said, 'this is the first coffee I can drink without cream and sugar'. Thanks for your service and I’m looking forward to my next cup. (BTW, I work night shift and usually drink at least a pot a day and 3 on weekends.)"
— David, Ocala, Florida
Spreading the gospel
"I have long understood the facts about stale American coffee, so I ordered 3 bags of yours to see if your claims were true. Congratulations! Finally, a company that delivers what they say they will deliver! I love it, my wife loves it and everyone who knows coffee loves it as well. I have begun to spread the word."
— Randy, Arden, North Carolina
Decaf euphoria
"I received my package of decaf a few days ago. DAMN, THAT’S GOOD COFFEE! Not good, that doesn’t begin to describe it. First let me say it is without doubt, the best coffee I have EVER tasted—and I don’t buy the cheap grocery store coffees either. I thought my ***** was good. It was... until I tasted yours. I will definitely be ordering again. My cardiologist took me off caffeine (I had this little thing called open-heart, double bypass surgery). Anyway, the local decafs just didn’t do it for me. Then, quite by accident I found your website. Your coffee is incredibly scrumptious. During my first cup, I do believe I was physically aroused—I got tingly things aaalllll over my body :) Turned out I was so engrossed in this heaven-sent cup of liquid ambrosia that I accidentally sat on my wife’s curling iron. (You should see the blister! Or... maybe not.) Anyway, thanks for the beginning of a long, beautiful, and tasteful relationship."
— Brent, Allentown, Pennsylvania
Fool’s first sip
