Hey All, I just moved to Pittsburgh from Boston and I am looking for a good roaster to provide some premium beans for my Silvia.  Anyone have any recommendations?  I have been drinking the fine beans of terroir coffee, as the are relatively local in the MA region.  

Thanks for your help,
Winston

I'm not sure what part of Penn. they're in but Caffe Fresco has awesome beans. They have a website that's been down for a while. It may be up again now.

Caffe Fresco is in eastern PA.  He does excellent work, and shipping is quick, but will be fairly quick from any east coast roaster.
