Gevalia is probably the most well-known in the gourmet coffee market. When it comes to variety, they have everyone beat.

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is another company that has been around for a long time. They have built up quite a following with their excellent choices and what we consider to be perfect roasting. They have started a campaign involving a line of revolutionary single cup brewers that make anything you get at the department store seem like a toy. These "K- Cup" brewers produce excellent coffee, and are convenient when you find yourself alone wanting a nightcap. They also have a wide variety of flavored and extra-bold coffees, as well as, some delicious cocoa. Their beans come from all over the world including Africa, the Americas, and Indonesia. If we had to pick a favorite, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters would definitely be near the top of the list. Check out their homepage for more information and any current promotions!
Cafe Britt ships coffee directly from their plantations in Costa Rica and Peru. They have the distinction of being Costa Rica's #1 gourmet coffee. They handle all the aspects of the coffee themselves from planting to roasting to shipping. There is no middle man here! We guess that's why they have so much pride in the quality of their coffee. They have received Bizrate.com's Circle of Excellence Gold Honoree Award because of the quality of their product and their excellent customer service. Their variety may be limited compared to the other big name sites (i.e. Gevalia), but the coffee they produce is their own and it is top notch.

Casteel Coffee, located in Evanston Illinois in the shadow of Chicago's skyscrapers, has been marked as the "quintessential small-batch retailer" by the Tea & Coffee Trade Journal. They are a small business that seems to have a passion for roasting coffee. They have been in business for over 12 years. Their specialty is high quality arabica coffee that is watched over by prominent roastmaster, Lee Casteel. They only roast 2 or 3 batches a day and their attention to detail is uncanny. The small batch roasting makes this more of a handmade product where every aspect is looked after. The beans are always the freshest that they can find and orders are shipped soon after roasting. This is a small business that is making a big impact on the gourmet coffee industry. Right now, you can get 20% off of orders of 5 pounds or more (you can mix & match).

Gano Brand Coffee is probably not what you think. This all-natural, organic coffee with a twist. Their coffee contains Ganoderma Lucidum (red mushroom) that has a history dating back 4,000 years. Long ago people realized that Ganoderma provided them with energy and vigor, while reducing fatigue. It is also said to be more powerful than Ginseng. This may sound odd, but believe it or not it makes for a great tasting, healthy coffee beverage. You need to check them out to understand what we mean. Just visit their site and see for yourself!
Arco Coffee is a staple of the northern United States. They have been roasting coffee for over 75 years and show no sign of slowing down. They still use the "old style" of roasting, manually controlling the time, temperature, and other variables that some companies rely on computers for. They rely on their expertise of picking the very best Arabica fruits and then let their roastmasters do their thing! They produce excellent blends and a number of different flavored coffees. Although they are a favorite up north, they are quickly gaining customers all over the country. Their guarantee is that you will always get a "great cup of coffee" from Arco Coffee.
Shock Coffee is definitely something different. All you have to do is check out their website and you'll understand what we are talking about. They probably don't belong on this review page, but we liked their website so much we had to include them. Their claim to fame is producing coffee that contains more caffeine than anyone else. They cater to a different client where the caffeine rush is the most important thing about a cup of coffee. We can think of some situations where that might come in handy, but we don't think that is needed everyday, that is if we want to get some sleep some time this week. They offer several other products that stick to the Shock Coffee theme. If this sounds interesting to you, then check them out.
Espresso Zone claims to have the largest selection of gourmet coffee items in the world. If you need something to compliment that great cup of coffee, you will more than likely find it here. The have great gift items for that coffee lover that you know. They sell coffee as well, but we don't think they roast it themselves. This is more of an an accessory site, but it is still worth a look.
