Is this a good price? Should I go ahead and order or if I might be able to find cheaper locally. 4 bucks/lb seems like a lot for beans.

I am not able to find them locally, so I don't know for sure if this price can be built.It is worth it to us to have them though, we make hummus out of them plus there are a lot of other recipes that one can use them in. They are very low on the glycemic index.

I ordered another brand of these before realizing Bob's Red Mill made them. As a person with Celiac Disease I'm a devoted fan of Bob's. I bought Ajika Channa Dal, 14oz bag, $11.03 here from Amazon. Bob's are $0.25/oz, these I bought are $0.79/oz. I can't say there aren't cheaper ones out there, but Bob sure beats what I pd & I will be buying this brand in the future. I hope this gives you at least one comparison to make a decision on another brand with a lower price.

It can be a bit of a jolt to learn that espresso machines are about half the cost of great espresso. I use this Gaggia Classic. My Rancillio grinder cost more. Think it through, there are many bean types and freshness varies. Both effect grind. If you buy truely fresh roasted beans they should be ground slightly coarser, still quite fine, for first 4 or 5 days. Then less fresh they dry out a little and need slightly finer grind to control 22sec brew time. Store whole beans in really air tight containers, non refrigerated. The "art" of great espresso is how you grind it. That takes long experience. If you get a truely fresh roast and grind just right you cup will fill with 50% golden foam and it will taste a little sweeter. I still need a little sugar but never milk or foam. Starbucks has an advantage with their always fresh roasts. By the time you can "pull" a good single shot 2oz espresso you might agree with me, LOL. They still give me trouble........... Happy Trails

It isn't $30/lb, but about $16. From Peet's you pay for shipping. If you have PRIME on Amazon, you don't pay shipping. Look at your local grocery. It's worth the price, btw. :)

I have had a very good experience with Laura Soybeans however, I purchase mine directly from the Laura Soybean website rather than here at amazon. They're much fresher and their website sells different beans for different uses. Such as: soymilk, tofu, sprouting, etc... And you can communicate directly with the grower on the website instead of buying thru a 3rd party seller that may or may not know how to answer your questions or how long his stock has been sitting on the shelf. The Laura Soybean Co. gives great & prompt service & their soybeans are the freshest I've ever encountered. I highly recommend buying them directly from the site. Hope this is helpful.

My bag of cliff hanger was only marked jun06-14, which is obviously the expiration date not the roast date (got them sept 26, 2013). So the question is...what's the shelf life? If it is 9 months, then the beans were roasted 20 days before I got them. They tasted really fresh so I wouldn't be surprised. One thing to note: Amazon was out of 1 kg kicking horse coffee as of a few days ago. This makes me think they don't keep a very large stockpile sitting around getting old. Good coffee, especially for the price.

It depends on where you're shopping. These cost more at a local grocer near me (the only store that carries them around me) so it may be a deal for some. But seriously, I see so many questions of "why are they so expensive compared to where I get it?" on amazon, it's simple- its for those that have NO access. For those of you who do AND pay less, it's futile even asking questions like that.

I'm pretty sure my first (and last) order I selected 'ground' but ended up getting whole bean anyway. I may have misclicked something... or not. In the end I resorted to purchase an inexpensive bean grinder from Walmart.

Yeah, this was the only coffee under $7 a pound that I liked. Bummer that the price skyrocketted. No way is it a $10 a pound coffee.

I will say so, but be aware that these are whole beans. I love it. Make sure to ask the seller before buying it

That is excessive. I have bought the 24 for around $30 on Amazon. Jamaican Blue Mountain is only harvested once a year and the crop is small. Off season the price can be as high as you have said as there is less around.

Yes. Its probably worth $15.00 but expect to constantly have to refill it with beans.

At Walmart, a very small quantity, not even a pound goes for $9.00. At least that is what it cost a couple of years ago before I started buying it from Amazon.Every store that I have looked, the price of quinoa is very high, but I love the taste and I cannot eat grains. This is a seed and not a grain so for me, it is worth the cost because I do occasionally crave that grain like texture and taste. I would suggest that you price it in the stores because I have not shopped for it locally in a couple of years. The price may have gone down? Best wishes to you!

The 454 we purchased was whole bean. I don't know if it's available pre-ground.

Yes, this is absolutely one of the BEST low cost coffee bean roasters anywhere. Just don't use much more than 3/4 cup of green coffee beans at a time, roast on LOW heat, and stir regularly until the second "crack" (pop) of the beans-- about 6 to 9 minutes for gas/electric respectively (because electric on medium low keeps going on and off). Some folks use nut roasters for this, but they are open and the chaff gets everywhere. With this unit, you just take the hot roasted beans outside and rinse the chaff off, NO mess. Why spend $400 on a coffee roaster when this makes better roasts and is more hands on fun! PLUS it works in power outages too!!!! Get good fresh green Arabica beans, roast in this, grind medium fine, then brew in your Bialetti stovetop unit for perfect espresso!
