I am starting to assume that no one here drinks this coffee, or thinks highly of it.

In general the problem I find with buying fresh-roasted coffee over the web is the delay in getting it to me.  Even roasters that are fairly close to me-- such as Gimme! Coffee in Ithaca, NY while I reside in New York City-- still somehow take 7 days to get here by UPS ground.  UPS will actually delay package delivery if it means they don't get paid for faster service.  So UPS ground still takes 7 days from upstate NY, even though it gets to the local holding depot within 2.  (UPS' customers are the people doing the shipping, not the recipient, so they don't really care if the recipient complains, as is often seen in their negative reviews.)

Of course I could pay for faster shipping, but why pay $20 shipping on $20 worth of coffee?  If I ordered more to make it worthwhile, then I wouldn't be using it fast enough for it to be as fresh as I'd like.  So I can wait a week to have coffee that's two weeks from roasting, or I can get something much fresher from a local shop.

I realize this doesn't answer your question about that particular offering, but perhaps it gives insight as to why people aren't responding much about roasted coffee purchased via the web.  I personally roast my own coffee so that solves my particular problem, and I do have fresh-roasted outlets locally that I can visit in a pinch, so I don't have any feedback.
