Did you know that coffee can be bought in bulk through several online distributors? Saving you significant amounts of money if you purchase it in this way? I bet you didn't, but lucky for you I plan on letting you know how. The first thing you should keep in mind is the cost of shipping. Since most coffee beans are shipped in 5-25 pound bags, it's best to find a coffee distributor that is close to your location. This will help cut down on the delivery fees and delivery times. I usually get my coffee to order the next day. This cuts down on my available choices, but I would not want to pay the overnight shipping fees on a 25 pound bag of coffee.
There are many reputable bulk coffee programs out there. You can usually save if you join a plan where a certain amount of coffee is shipped to you each and every month. The amount of coffee you are required to order varies by company so make sure you check the terms of each plan you join. Many house blend coffees that are up for sale come from various vendors. You should expect to see several different blends of coffee from Sumatra, Kenya, South America, and Central America. You should start out by buying the lowest quantity of coffee available so that you do not end up with 5 pounds of coffee that you just can't stand to drink. I prefer to buy my coffee in small amounts and I choose only the best quality beans to roast. If you have a coffee house, diner or restaurant, then you will most assuredly need plenty of coffee.
If you are buying bulk coffee then you probably own a restaurant or large office building. It's always a good idea to invest in a commercial grade coffee machine if you're planning on making large quantities of coffee. The coffee maker you have in your kitchen just can't compete with most of the commercial models. Regular coffee makers are extremely slow at making coffee and most of the time the water just doesn't get hot enough to extract the optimum flavor from the coffee bean. This is one of the main reasons why the coffee you make at home never tastes as good as the coffee you bought from your local coffee shop. The temperature of the water during the brewing process is extremely important in the outcome your cup of Joe. If you don't need lots of coffee, don't buy large bags. You will definitely save yourself some money if you buy a 25 pound bag, but if it takes you a year to use it all up then don't buy so much. The last cup will be completely devoid of any flavor.
You should only buy as much coffee as you'll be using in the next month maximum.
