Hey noobie I was looking at Sweet Maria's website and saw the Liquid Amber and was wondering the price is that for a pound or just 12 oz because I didn't see anywhere were they show the amount. Anyway I going downstairs and pull me a double of Red Bird.

Gery, I had the same question so I called: 1lb. Not bad.

almost as good as Red Bird, so far they are the only ones that offer 1 lb right off, Deep Cello which is good but theirs starts out at 12 oz and if you want a pound then it cost another 4.00's. But the shipping cost can't be beat the last time I ordered from them it was 3.95 for a pound

The Amber from Sweet maria's is amazing even this long from roast date.

I am glad to see some Canadian coffee roasters. I see that question a lot.

I'm in the PNW as well and my favorite bean is the Guatamala from http://www.mojacoffee.com/coffee/ A really nice medium dark roast that is pretty forgiving to work with. Have a similar setup to yours - Oscar/Preciso :)

I got my order of Red Bird today which I ordered on Monday, so the USPS was on the ball to get from MT to NC since it was roasted and shipped on Tuesday. But I was a little disappointed for when I opened up the package there was NO chocolate piece taped to the outside of the coffee bag...................bummer :^(

Temperatures getting too warm in some areas? I heard that you do not get chocolate in the warm months.

I just received my Red Bird - 2 days from Montana to Delaware - 5 pounds of 60 regular/40 decaf split and 1 lb of Blue Jaguar. And Jeff credited the $5 shipping for the Blue Jag - You cannot beat his coffee, service and price! I did receive some chocolate with my order, but I also asked that he include it - I was born and raised in NY (pushy!). I did it for my wife, so maybe that helps me out a little! :-) Can't wait to try the Blue Jag! Chris
