A city mail carrier says "love your coffee"
Judy

Hello Seth, My name is judy  . I am a city mail carrier in Saintpetersburg Florida . I found out about your coffee while at work. Every time I delivered  a package from you I could smell it all the way from the back of my mail truck. finally I saw the man who ordered it and I ask him about it. He warned me once I tried it I would never look at cofffee the same  I came home that night and ordered my first two pounds . my husband and I are hooked.   thought you would like to hear how I was introduced to old bisbeeroasters , and wanted to thank you. I wish I lived close enough to visit your store. ....thanks again for the best coffee Ive ever tasted.  Judy

la la la means i love unique coffee!

Dear Seth,
I met you for the 2nd time at the street fair with my brother, we bought a
gang of chocolate and  some beans. (Ethiopian decaf and a South American)
I mixed them together, and have been drinking one fine cup every morning.
Like right now....ahhhh. I haven't been adding cream, which is new for me,
and I must say that the coffee is so mellow, rich and smooth, I don't even
need it.
My brother obsconded away with my share of the chocolate, so I have been
pining over that loss, since the street fair.
Thanks for everything, and for being so friendly to us.  You are one cool
gone cat!!!

Shalom,
Shirley

Truffles

Joanna
Seth:
I bought your truffles on 4/7 and have shared
them with the local candy store proprietor, the baker and several of my
retail friends in my little North Carolina town, Sanford.  My friends
and business associates here are completely knocked out with the
extraordinary mastery and sensuality of your chocolate art.  The only
critique I encountered is that they are too big.  They are so rich and
lucious most people cannot eat a whole one.
 
Seth, I would love to learn how to make truffles,
and if you would be willing to teach me what you know,
I would come to Arizona and provide you free labor (even
in your hot kitchen) and/or a fee in exchange for an apprenticeship.  I
have studied cooking previously, in California and in Italy; but I
have not studied chocolate.  As I told you, I have never had truffles
like yours anywhere on earth.

Got my order
Paul

The order arrived today and smells wonderful.  Can't wait to try
it in the morning.  Brandon and Julia told me again how good your
product is and how much they respected you for your craft.  High praise
from them, as they don't hand out compliments without merit.
 
Thanks for the quick response

Paul,

Bye-bye, Starbucks!
Elliot
Seth, Wow, am I ever glad I stumbled upon your delicious
coffee when driving through Bisbee! I have been an
avid coffee drinker for 20 years and yours is the best
I've found. Bye-bye, Starbucks!

Quick turnaround

Received the coffee on Thursday and it's a big hit!
Thanks for the quick turnaround and for the quality, Seth!

I just wanted to let you know.  I received my
first order from you today.  Not only was the shipping super quick, but the
coffee is incredible.  What a difference... Thanks for the great service,
and I am looking forward to checking out all of the varieties of coffee you
have. 

Thank you,
Alec

Best shot ever
Douglas

Hi Seth,
I just wanted to let you know that I sampled your
coffee for the first time passing through the alley this weekend, and as one
whom has been a Barista off and on for the past ten years I feel
compelled to tell you that your espresso is THE BEST I have ever had.

Really, no bitterness, no skyrocketing only to
crash within a couple hours, I got back to Silver City that evening ( 6 hours
later) still buzzin'. My roommate purchased a sample pack, and I just
checked out your online selection... beeyooteeful. 

I can assure you I have found my new 'personal
coffee roaster" !

Thanks so much,
Douglas, Silver City

Coffee Beans
Mike

Hi Seth
I received the reorder of the lost Coffee Beans... These were shipped on
the 25th and I received them today.  I let the postman know about the
shipment that was lost but he nothing about it.

Thank you for your prompt response and getting the beans to me... My wife
is now very happy that she has her decaf...  I also just tried the
Ethiopian Horse Harar for the 1st time... It was a great cup of
coffee...  

The postman also wanted you to know that the beans drive him crazy. 
He had to stop and get a cup of coffee during his morning deliveries just to
curb his thirst for a coffee.  I assured him that his cup
of coffee couldn't compare  to what I make with your
beans...

Anyway take care and thanks for the beans...

Sincerely,
Mike

Just wanted to drop a quick note...  I've been boasting about and sharing your coffee with my friends and now I'm known as the "Bean Boy" at my office.  Thanks for your great coffee!

Wow, that's some great coffee!!
Peter

Hey, Seth
While visiting my sister in Sierra Vista, AZ., a few weeks ago, I had
the good fortune of stumbling upon you and your delicious coffee in an
alley in Brisbee while we were site-seeing.  I was so impressed with
the Kenya peaberry you were serving up, we took a four pack of your
coffee home and fell in love with it over the next few days!  I'm back
home in Honolulu, Hawaii and would love to order some of your delicious
coffee for my wife to try.  What would you recommend?  Also, what are
your shipping rates to Hawaii?  I think I told you I own a coffee house
here and would love to carry some of your coffee.  Unfortunately, I'm
not sure it would be cost effective.  If not, I would still like to
order some coffee for my personal consumption!:)
Sincerely,
Peter,  Morning Brew Cafe

I LOVE YOUR COFFEE!
Polly

Thanks you guys!    Hey, no hurry on shipping.  If you can't get it out until the next day, No PROBLEM!  

I LOVE YOUR COFFEE!    I lived in San Francisco, CA. For several years in the '80s.  I "lived" IN some of the BEST coffee houses down there and your coffee rates much higher!   Thanks for your dedication to the bean.....   Polly

urchasing coffee online
Jeffrey

I have been purchasing coffee online for quite sometime now.  I have tried
coffee roasted by some of the biggest and the best, from "east coast" to
"west coast" and "beyond". 

The majority of them just can't seem to bring it all together. 

The right bean but the wrong roast.  The right roast but the
wrong bean.  However, after tasting your coffee, I am convinced that you are
one of those "rare" individuals that can "intuitively" create the harmony of
"bean" and "roast".  In my opinion you have taken your "art" to a level that
"surpasses the masses".  True "alchemy"!

 Your "Ethiopian Natural Decaf"  is, to date, the best decaf that I have
ever sampled.  Other purveyors when roasting decaf beans tend to go
too far, believing that a darker roast will somehow impart to the bean,
qualities that they believe it is defficient in.    These qualities already exist
in the bean.  It is a matter of knowing what the bean possesses and having
 the ability to coax the bean into giving up its secrets! 

You have succeeded where many others have failed.  Ah,
yes...."the great work"....keep it up!

Zimbabwe AAA Dandoni Estate
Tim

My wife and I were recently in Bisbee over the holiday weekend and visited the farmers market in the Warren District while we were there.  I purchased a pound of the Zimbabwe coffee upon the recommendation of the two gentlemen there manning your booth (they both spoke very highly of you).  I let them know my coffee tastes and promised I would email you with my opinion.  I have brewed three pots of coffee from the beans and have not had a bad cup of coffee from them yet.  I applaud their recommendations and will look forward to trying some other varieties as time goes by.  Please thank them for their recommendation and great conversation at the market.

Wonderful Truffles and Coffees
V. Carol

Hi Seth,
My sister-in-law and I are back in Ohio now.  Your truffles are absolutely the best I've had.  I'm not really a coffee drinker but I will certainly always drink your coffee.  Your coffee isn't like any other.  Thanks for making our visit ot Bisbee so very special.  You will be hearing from us periodically.  We will certainly order for Christmas and other occasions when we need a special gift.
Thank you,
V. Carol,

Yummy coffee at LeNell's
Anne

Hello Seth,
I work for Tonya at LeNell's in Brooklyn and we drink your coffee everyday.  I know you sent it as a present and I wanted to thank you-- The gift wasn't for me, but I do reap the benefits!  You truly do make a wonderful product!

Best wishes,
Anne

A coffee note
Robin

Dear Seth:
I don't expect you to remember me, but my husband and I were introduced to you (and your absolutely outrageously delicious coffee) by Jo and Smitty, whom I am sure you will recognize as some of your most loyal customers.  (They are our best friends.)

They sent us a gift of your coffee, and NEVER have we tasted fresher, better coffee!.  We are now legitimately spoiled and will be counting the days until our order arrives.  Every day my husband asks, "Don't we have any Bisbee coffee left?"

Merry Christmas!   and Thanks.
Robin

You are fabulous!
 This is an excellent coffee, smooth and  flavorful. Add 25% extra coffee to the pot and it becomes uniquely bold yet completely retains it's character.
 
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah for, SETH ! 
 And your timely service is incredible.

  PS, I'm going to start big time promoting you in Green Valley.

GREAT coffee!

Seth,
I  just wanted to say thanks for the GREAT coffee! Me and my wife were thrilled to find it in the mail Saturday....a mere 2 days after ordering! Great stuff.

I am sure that I'll need some more in a couple of weeks, and I'll spread the word. Take care!

BIG Thanks!
Anita

Hi there!
I just wanted to thank-you for getting the coffee to us. Mine came in the Friday special delivery mail, just hours before we left. Elwood is a bit like Mayberry so the Post Office gal called me to tell me it was in. They love those coffee delivery days because the small Post Office smells delicious all day!

 I am sure we will thoroughly enjoy the coffee you shipped. Be assured that I will continue to brag about your great coffee to everyone I have the pleasure of serving it to.


Thanks again!
Anita

Ethiopian Horse Harar coffee
Neil

Hi Seth,
Sorry it's taken me this long to get back to you.  I bought a pound of your Ethiopian Horse Harar coffee at the 4th Ave. Street Fair in  March.  My wife and I have really been enjoying it.  It is definitely a unique brew.  We've also served it to family and guests, and drawn rave reviews.  So thanks for spicing up our coffee drinking, and we'll definitely look for you at the next fair.
 
Neil
