Coffee Bean Direct Gets My Thumbs Up

I was asked to review a few bags of coffee from Coffee Bean Direct recently, and I jumped at the opportunity, because I'm pretty sure my family is directly responsible for keeping the coffee bean industry afloat.

We drink so much coffee, in fact, that while I once only bought name brand coffee, I'm now reduced to purchasing the gigantic Kroger tins. Otherwise, we would face financial ruin over the sheer volume of coffee we imbibe.

So let's just say Coffee Bean Direct's beans were a welcome change around here.

We tried three varieties of flavored coffee: French Vanilla, Hazelnut, and Jamaican Me Crazy. I really enjoyed them all- Not only did they taste great, but the aroma around here was heavenly. Surprisingly, my favorite one was Hazelnut. I'm not typically a huge hazelnut fan, but I found this coffee to smell and taste the best.

I also loved that Coffee Bean Direct ground my beans for me. I hate grinding around here because of the mess.

Coffee Bean Direct's prices and selection are excellent. A one-pound bag averages around $5. Their Fair Trade and Organic coffee beans are a little higher, at around $8 per bag. There are dozens of flavors and variations of coffee beans to choose from. If you like it, chances are they've got it.

You can check out Coffee Bean Direct for yourself at their website. Give them a try!

In addition to the coffee, Coffee Bean Direct also sent me two mugs and a t-shirt, which in no way influenced this review. They were cute, though.
