ny.ny."

"So far, NYNY and Smooth Jazz are outstanding in my
opinion. The pure Columbian seems a bit mild mannered to me but good. Due to
hurried and harried holidays, we have not tried the other two yet. Never had
bags that were zip-lock as well as valved before... a big plus!!!"
Grant Gehlbach
Rock Hill, South Carolina

"Enjoying the New York New York immensely! Will order
this again and look forward to trying new types in the future. Keep up the good
work!!!"

"I have ordered and sampled the New York New York. It
is the best coffee I have ever had. I consider myself a coffee snob. I seek out
the best all over Manhattan, where i work every day. I found the best New York
coffee on the internet. Thanks."

"Your New York New York blend reminds me so much of my
grandmothers egg coffee and I just love richness without the bitterness when
you brew a strong cup of coffee."

NYNY. Excellent coffee! Such nice folks to do business with."

"We really enjoy New York, New York! It's so smooth
and not bitter compared to some of the "gourmet" coffees I've bought.
Our friends have also really enjoyed it! Thanks for a GOOD coffee!"
Paula Soderquist
Chanhassen, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"Ok, we're ruined! My husband and I go on vacation and
all we can think is..."We can't wait to get home and have some good
coffee!" Not only is this coffee outstanding in flavor but and exceptional
value! The service is fast and my emails have always been responded to with a
personal touch. We have tried several that were amazing but New York New York
and the Panamanian are so far our favorites. The personalized labeling makes it
so great for gifts. Thank you Specialty Java for making mornings something to look
forward to and evenings with your fabulous decaf so satisfying!"
Deborah Rowden
Siloam Springs, Arkansas
————————————————————————————————————————
"I was very impressed with the coffee and I will
purchase regularly. Thanks for the unprecedented free offer, it really was more
than a free sample. I had to buy a $38.00 gift sampler from another vender just
to try a variety of theirs. The New York New York was the freshest coffee I've
ever tasted, I can't wait to try others. Thanks again."
Jim Hedrick
Nashville, Arkansas

New York New York is an excellent blend just as you said it was. I am very
pleased with your product. Have not tried samples of Rockin Java &
Breakfast Blend yet--still hooked on New York. I will be ordering more soon.
Thank you for your professional service. Very good service and sales
departments!"

"I am an avid coffee drinker and love waking up to a
good cup of coffee. I have never tasted coffee any better than what is right
here. It gives my day a truly fresh start and when I have company the rave
reviews are overwhelming. I have tried the New York, New York and the Smooth
Jazz. The New York is my favorite so far although I like the smooth jazz also.
The service in delivery is awesome and super fast. I am 100% satisfied with
this coffee and you now have a steady customer. Again, thanks so much!
Betty Enger

has it all together!"

"I bought a new Brahn coffee maker and bean grinder. A
bit of trial an error in trying to achieve the right flavor/strength, however
getting better. I would like to complement your coffee varieties. I purchased
several types in 2oz to try. Purchased a 16oz of the NY-NY blend and really
like it."
Danny Brooks
Albany, Georgia
————————————————————————————————————————
"Thanks so much for answering all of my questions
before I placed my order! What great customer service...and I was really
excited that they were answered by the actual roast master. A definite first in
my coffee ordering experience. I ordered the reg and decaf sample packs of
Rock' N Java and New York New York since I'm a half caf drinker (I know, I
know). I've had a hard time making great coffee at home but you've definitely
won me over! Both were fantastic and I'll be placing another order soon."
Jan Bosch
Plymouth, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"While the prompt response and ease of ordering are
value features, the quality of the product supercedes all other aspects in my
mind. The New York, New York type is very good, and I would definitely order it
again. Our preference for our regular coffee is a strong, robust flavor just
short of espresso (We travel in Europe, so we enjoy espresso also). Keep up the
good work."
Carl Howard
Tucson, Arizona
————————————————————————————————————————
"My husband LOVES the New York New York! I ordered the
espresso and I can tell it is not bitter but I am still in the early stages of
espresso making and just haven't quite got the knack yet. I think I check out
the forum and see if I can get some suggestions. Delivery was fast and ordering
was easy. Thank you!"
Laura Lutzow
Nampa, Idaho
————————————————————————————————————————
"I am on limited caffeine intake and found that
combining the New York reg. and the New York decaf. was an excellent blend that
meets my needs!!! I will recommend your coffee to others in our rural area (we
are limited in access to fresh coffee beans in this part of SW Virginia.
Thanks."

"Been buying my blend in Hawaii and live in Iowa. I
now will be buying my blend from Minnesota! I have 3 samples and tried
one,,NYNY and I am already sold! What a wonderful roast, I have tried hundreds
of blends/roasters and this is tops! Can't wait to try the other 2! Shipping is
second to none and as fresh as if I roasted the beans myself. You have a new
client!!"

Velvet Soul as a gift for a relative and the opening of gift they were
overjoyed! The next morning they made Velvet Soul and everyone who tried it

"Your New York blend coffee arrived by US mail just a
few days after I ordered it. It smelled great and was nicely packaged. It makes
a nice and smooth cup o joe and I am sipping it now as I type away. I
especially liked the ability to choose between shippers. Thanks!"
Douglas Bart
Boothbay, Maine
————————————————————————————————————————
"The New York New York is the only kind I have tried
so far. It 's going to hard to try another kind. The New York is excellent! I
have ordered twice and will order again. The first order I shared with my
Mother-in-law.. The second order I had to split with my Mother-in-law. Great
coffee! P.S.. The shipping was fast too!"
Kim Johnston
North Little Rock, Arkansas
————————————————————————————————————————
"This is so cool. Our favorite of the three we
purchased is the Rock & Java. We like kick ass coffee in the morning. The
New York New York is second with and tastes better bur not as strong. Third we
bought Paradise, which is how I found your site I was looking for the taste of
a coffee I had many years back when I spent the Summer in Hawaii. Too bad Kona
coffee cost an arm and a leg. Nevertheless this has been the best coffee we
have had in as long as I can remember. Thanks and we can't wait to try more variety."

have been our "test" subjects on everything, and everyone LOVED the
coffees...the Organic Velvet Soul was by far the most talked about. We are so
excited , I have an order almost ready to go, you should have it tomorrow or
Wednesday at the latest. Thanks !!"
Wendi Cooper

"Velvet Soul is the most amazing coffee I have ever
tasted! I am addicted and I can't get through the morning without smelling it
brew and drinking several cups of the delicious java. Thank you for a quality
cup of coffee!"
Mario Rodriguez
Burnsville, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"I was sent your sample pack - I am looking for
gourmet coffee to serve at my small hotel - and I tried Organic Velvet Soul. It
was the best cup of coffee I think I ever tasted! Thank you. I will be back for
more!"

Jamaican Blue Mountain
————————————————————————————————————————
"I've been buying the Jamaican Blue Mountain, and the
Kona for about 1 1/2 years, and I've never been disappointed, not one single
time. I've tried JBM from over 10 different sources, and never tasted any that
compares to yours. My in-laws were just at my house for college graduation, and
drank up $160 of my coffee, everyone loves to come to my house for coffee.
Thanks, in this world satisfaction is hard to come by."
Steve Lewis
League City, Texas
————————————————————————————————————————
"My big worry was whether I'd be getting real JBM. I
got screwed at a brick and mortar suppler - it tasted like Folgers. But this
coffee was the real deal. I limit myself to 1 cup a day to fully savor the
incredible flavor. I think I'll try your Kona next time."
Alfred Tate
Canadian, Oklahoma
————————————————————————————————————————
"I have received my order of Jamaican Blue Mountain.
It is the real deal. Perfect and smooth. Bliss. Roasted exactly the way I
hoped. And I could swear I woke up faster and better (which is the way I
remember Jamaican Blue) I have a question about caffeine content in coffee. Are
there differences in caffeine content with the various origins of coffees? I
know the lighter the roast the more caffeine. Most people are under the
impression of the exact opposite. I have been wondering if there are known
categories of beans which have a naturally higher caffeine content.
Thanks."
Patricia Baker
Amarillo, Texas
————————————————————————————————————————
"Kevin, Thanks for the phone call - I really
appreciate you following up and making sure my order was correct. :) We
purchase JBM for my father- in-law every Christmas and usually just go with
whoever pops up on the google search. However, we ordered from you last year
(you popped up!) and he said the quality of the coffee was terrific - couple
that with your thoughtful phone call today, and I am done googling for our
annual order. You have my business, small as it may be. :) And I will be
referring you whenever I can. Thank you again! And have a very Merry Christmas.
:) Julie :)"

"btw, I went to Jamaica and your blue mountain is
better than anything I had over there."
Mike Ralston
Westminster, California
————————————————————————————————————————
"The Jamaican Blue Mtn is wonderful. Years ago, in a
coffee shop in Georgetown (DC), I bought 1/2 pound of Jamaican Blue Mtn - top
of the mountain. It was the smoothest coffee I've ever had in my life.
Recently, I decided I wanted some more of that coffee and went searching on the
internet and found you. It's wonderful."
Chris Rocus
Gaithersburg, Maryland
————————————————————————————————————————
"I went and bought a Cusinart Grinder just to be able
to enjoy these beans and so far I have been very, very pleased. I enjoyed the
Jamaican Blue Mountain very much, the Yemen was good and am now enjoying the
Costa Rican. Will be ordering again. Thanks!"
Brad Johnson
Atlanta, Georgia
————————————————————————————————————————
"I have just started to try different brews and really
appreciate the sample sizes offered. Blue Mountain was fantastic, every bit as
good as the rave reviews it gets. I just wanted to drink every drop!"
Holly DuBiel
Carnegie, Pennsylvania
————————————————————————————————————————
"I have ordered Blue Mountain Coffee from one other
source and wanted to see how it compared to others who sell the same coffee.
Blue Mountain Coffee is becoming my favorite coffee. Yours compares favorably
to my previous source (Precious Provisions), and is comparable in price, but is
a little bit more than Precious Provisions. I still need to try Kona (pure, not
blended) to see how this compares. Do you guys carry Kona coffee?"
Robert Cranfield
Franklin, Tennessee
————————————————————————————————————————
"Of the 3 types I ordered I am enjoying the Jamaican
Blue Mtn. It is the first time I drank black coffee. It is very fresh tasting.
I am sure I will enjoy the others when they get opened.."
Elizabeth Saltalamacchia
Ridgewood, New Jersey
————————————————————————————————————————
"Love your product. French Roast for every day and
Jamaican blue mountain for the weekends. I do wish though that there was a way
to choose a magnet other than asking for one in the comment box while ordering.
I like to give them when I share a bag with someone."
Stephen McGill
Mount Carmel, Illinois
————————————————————————————————————————
"Just tried the Jamaican blue mountain- will order
again!!"
Maria Rodriguez
San Diego, California
————————————————————————————————————————
"I just opened the package of Jamaica Blue Mountain
coffee beans which I received a month ago and have kept frozen. The brewed
coffee was the best I have ever tasted in my life. It is just robust enough,
smooth and satiny in the mouth, has a splendid fragrance and mellow full body
and gives a nice jolt of caffeine!"
Juliette Muscat
Timonium, Maryland
————————————————————————————————————————
"Neither the New York nor the Blue Mountain had any
bite to it whatsoever and it was absolutely delicious. What causes the bite
that shelf coffee causes, if you know?"
Linda Clark
Englewood, Florida
————————————————————————————————————————
"I recently purchased my first sample bags of both
Jamaican Blue Mountain and Kona beans. I have to say, one taste and I
understood what the fuss was about -- It was the best cuppa coffee I ever had!
Everything else tasted bitter and watery by comparison, so now I am ready to
buy a big bag."
Lauren Rapport
West Hollywood, California
————————————————————————————————————————
"I was very impressed with the Jamaican Blue Mountain
coffee which I had before, but this tasted much better. I am still working my
way through the different varieties."
Barry Goody
Baldwin, New York
————————————————————————————————————————
"This Jamaican was THE best coffee I've EVER
had!"
Jill Filek-Kendall
Watertown, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"I am very pleased with the Jamaican Blue Mtn. coffee
that I rcvd. I have passed your info on to several friends."
Mary Ann Plakas
North Canton, Ohio
————————————————————————————————————————
"My husband loves Blue Jamaican, Caribou hasn't had it
the last few years-- It was great to have a local company to order from over
the net. My husband said the beans were awesome and so flavorful and smooth!!
(I'm not a coffee drinker only tea)"
Stacy Hageman
Ramsey, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"Love the coffee. Will definitely be using your
service from now on. Smooth Jazz is absolutely exquisite, very nice. The
Jamaican Blue Mountain was very nice too! Tried the samples and love the
coffee. Your prices are good and the beans are great! The aroma of a freshly
opened bag is to die for!!"
Brian Brackeen
Denton, Texas
————————————————————————————————————————
"This is my first order. The ordering and receiving
process was smooth and on the projected time. The quality of the product was
good. It was truly fresh as advertised. I started with an exotic coffee,
Jamaican Blue. I look forward to further purchases as well as the forum to
expand my coffee drinking pleasure. One thing that impressed me immediately was
the professionalism of your website. I would like to see coffees with ratings,
similar to that in wine ratings. It is fun to see how people rate certain coffees
and then compare with ones own rating. Perhaps this is done and I haven't
stumbled upon it yet. So far, I like what I have found."
Larry Lynn
Flowery Branch, Georgia
————————————————————————————————————————
"We discovered Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee on a trip
to Jamaica 20 years ago but never afforded ourself the luxury of purchase here
in the states due to the cost. I purchased this coffee from Specialty Java to
celebrate a 29th Anniversary because your cost, freshness, delivery were
unbeatable and I will highly recommend you to other "Coffee Snobs"
like ourselves."
Becky McIndoo
Phoenix, Arizona
————————————————————————————————————————
"I tried the Jamaican Blue Mountain and it is very
good. Every one who tried it said it was very tasteful and had a lot of body to
it."
Florence Munsey
Totowa, New Jersey
————————————————————————————————————————
"I bought this coffee for my boss as a gift for
Christmas. And he had called me the day after Christmas and had said "
this is the best jamacian blue mountain coffee he has ever gotten!" So I'm
really happy with the product that I bought from you guys. If I got to buy
anymore coffee I am buying from your site."
Logan Ledit

Sumatra Mandheling
————————————————————————————————————————
"I finally found a roaster that knows how to roast
Sumatran (dark). Best coffee I have had in ages."
Darrell St. Clair
Wiggins, Mississippi
————————————————————————————————————————
"After trying several other on line roasters I have
finally found one that knows how to roast Sumatra Mandheling (DARK). I need
look no further. This is with no doubt the best Sumatra ever. Ordered on
Monday, roasted on Monday and drinking on Wednesday. Thank You"
Darrell St. Clair
Wiggins, Mississippi
————————————————————————————————————————
"Very good taste: New York, New York & Sumatra. I
haven't tried any others, yet."
Glenda Noble
Waconia, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"Thanks a lot! Now coffee anywhere but at home just
doesn't taste as good since I've become a customer of SpecialtyJava.com! So far
my favorite is the Sumatra, although I have no complaints about the others that
I've tried. Great coffee! Wonderful service! Delivered quickly!"
Kathryn Vess
Pacolet, South Carolina
————————————————————————————————————————
"Hi Folks, As I write this I'm sitting here and
enjoying a cup of Sumatran from the first order of beans. Holy cow! What a
superbly satisfying cup this is. I'm hooked. Thanks a million!"
Eric Mattocks
Giddings, Texas
————————————————————————————————————————
"I am about ready to order my next bag of beans. I
must say, your fresh roasted coffee was what I was after. It produced that
ephemeral rare coffee pleasure I knew I could only get with fresh roasted
beans. Now that coffee experience that was once only once in 50 cups is an
every morning affair. I love Sumatra coffee. What other variety should I
try?"
James Ervin
Rocky Mount, Virginia
————————————————————————————————————————
"I have truly enjoyed my first order of Sumatra
coffee!"
Kathryn Vess
Pacolet, South Carolina
————————————————————————————————————————
"I use the finest grind (8) possible on the Kitchen
aide grinder. My objective is to have the cup resemble a meal in its body. I
expect a cup, generally the first, to have a sandy texture. This is before the
coffee has had a chance to settle any sediment it may have. Such cups do have a
"bite" which you may identify as acidity. But with a dark roast,
acidity is limited, purely by its nature. Therefore, a liberal dose of
grindings results in a very full flavored, rich taste, not overly saturated
with a caffeine shot that might "wire you." My first experience with
Sumatra was in Jakarta at several , I think, five star hotels, that served a
full bodied coffee, but mellow. I have not yet achieved that flavor, but the
Sumatra you sell closely resembles that experience."
Richard Volkman
Ponca, Nebraska
————————————————————————————————————————
"Just had my first cup of your Sumatra Mandheling
blend this morning. WOW. I no longer have to go to Starbucks for my Sumatra
fix."
Dale Gilberson
Crystal Lake, Illinois
————————————————————————————————————————
"My favorite coffee is Sumatra. yours seems darker
roast than any i have ever bought. i have not decided yet if i prefer yours.
the blue mtn was incredible !!! so is the price ! lol"
Gary Fuller
Eclectic, Alabama
————————————————————————————————————————
"the coffee is delicious! i had to cut to about
half-caf, so i ordered regular and decaf in three kinds--New York, Sumatra, and
Kenya AA. My favorite changes every time I have a cup!"
Michele Martin
Anmoore, West Virginia
Ethiopian Harrar
————————————————————————————————————————
"Our local suppler of Ethiopian Harrar shut down. The
coffee was excellant and we feel lucky to find you, a suppleir of equal quality
and our favorite varity. Love your coffee."
Cecil Prack
Upper Lake, California
————————————————————————————————————————
"I should say that I am a real
"coffee-maniac" – I drink 10-15 cups of espresso a day, the last one
right before going to bed. So, the quality of coffee I drink is very important
to me. For the past several years, I had been regularly buying 5-lb bags of
Ethyopian Harrar from a company in CA; however, after they twice sent me
something that had nothing to do with Harrar, I started looking for another
supplier and found your company. The coffee that I received from you has given
me aesthetical joy. It is a real Harrar, and it is perfectly roasted. Your
service is super-professional, too: my order was processed promptly, you kept
me informed about the status of my order, and you even followed up on it after
I received the coffee. Thank you."
Leonic Andreev
Tucson, Arizona
————————————————————————————————————————
"The coffee samples we received to try out your coffee
were so outstanding. We forgot what great coffee tastes like. We are honoring
your coffee by properly grinding it just before we use it and we have our old
French Press back out as our primary brewing method. Ethiopian Harrar is our
current favorite but we look forward to exploring others. Warm Regards, Walter
and Jane."
Walter Bera
Wayzata, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"I am happy as a clam with the transaction and am at
this very minute enjoying of a cup of coffee brewed with Ethiopian beans. I
suspect I'll order from you again."
Ted Ammon
Jackson, Mississippi
————————————————————————————————————————
"You are the only site on the net I buy my coffee
from.....period. Harrar being a 'wild' i don't trust anyone else to get it
right.....*shrug*."
Deb Terry

"We are enjoying the Ethiopian Harrar coffee we
received from you. Also, love the personalized label! Nice touch!"
Burgess Dell-Wilson
Berkley, Michigan
————————————————————————————————————————
"The Harrar I recently received is simply amazing.
I've recommended it to all my friends. I thoroughly appreciate the master
roaster's comments for this coffee too. They are spot on! Thanks!"
Cindy Gustafson
Hernando Beach, Florida
————————————————————————————————————————
"Not only the best Ethiopian I've ever had, but
service and price were exceptional. I will be back for more."
Charles Cifuni
Mt. Holly, North Carolina
————————————————————————————————————————
"I tried you're recipe for cold press with the
Ethiopian Harrar and it's like drinking a mocha every morning without the
chocolate. Smoothest ever!"
Meg Faller
Norfolk, Virginia
————————————————————————————————————————
"THIS Harrar is what I've been looking for and the
price was right too. I couldn't BE more satisfied."

Farmington, Connecticut
Espresso Organico
————————————————————————————————————————
"Blind Assessment: The surprise here is how well this
blend performs in longer milk drinks. As a straight espresso it is agreeable
enough, dominated in the aromatics by low-toned, musty notes that read as a
raisiny semi-sweet chocolate or perhaps a spicy, cantaloupe-like fruit. The
body is medium to full, the finish simple and rich with a slight astringent
edge. The blend exerted a powerful though heavy dark-chocolate presence in
short milk, but with more latte-like quantities of milk it bloomed with great sweetness
and vivacity."
Kenneth Davids
CoffeeReview.com
————————————————————————————————————————
"This was my first order and I was very pleased. Very
happy to have found a good source for organic espresso beans. I will definitely
be ordering more."
Joanne Hewitt
Midland, Michigan
————————————————————————————————————————
"I really like the Espresso Organico that I ordered;
just the right roast and no excessive oil, so my grinder and Silvia loved it.
The delivery was great also. I will be ordering again when my holiday gift
coffees run out - maybe before 'cause I like yours so much. Glad I ran on to
your website!!"
Ann Gray
Iowa City, Iowa
————————————————————————————————————————
"We use the Espresso Organico in our Necta Kikko and
Saeco Barista Supremo gourmet coffee vending machines and our customers love
it!"
Latte 4U
Humble, Texas
————————————————————————————————————————
"I love your Espresso Organico and am ordering sample
sizes of your other espresso coffees to see if it can even get better!"
Roy Davis
Roland, Arkansas
————————————————————————————————————————
"I recently discovered your product. I tried your
Organico roast. I'm currently trying your Authentico roast, which is as
suggested. (Similar to illy.) Awesome stuff. I'm sure I'll be ordering again in
the future. The only suggestion I have is to keep doing what you're
doing!!!"
Jason Tolzmann
Shakopee, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"I could not be happier. Your Espresso Organico is,
for me, perfect. I fall asleep at night thinking of the first cup in the
morning. Thank You."
Matt Christin
Portola Valley, California
Espresso Organico Dark
————————————————————————————————————————
"Blind assessment: Roundly deep, smoky aroma with
hints of low-acid fruit and dark chocolate. In the small cup medium body,
slightly syrupy mouthfeel, pungently sweet with aromatic wood, dark chocolate,
and a continued hint of low-acid fruit, mango perhaps. The sweetness carries
into the finish, but fades toward a smoky astringency in the long. Powerful
presence in milk, almost too powerful in short milk, where the dry, smoky
character dominates. Sweetens in big milk (four parts or more), moving the dark
chocolate and mangoish fruit notes forward and softening astringency. Who
should drink it: Those who value smoky intensity in a very dark-roasted
espresso that preserves sweetness, body, and some complexity. Extremely strong
presence in milk; should be able to stand up to almost any amount of dairy and
embellishments."
Kenneth Davids
CoffeeReview.com
————————————————————————————————————————
"I really liked your espresso. We got it in last week,
and I made quite a few shots with it, at many different parameters. I thought
it was nice, stout and fruity. It was more Chocolate rounded taste, not a super
long finish. Personally, I think it would cool to see the same components in
one stage lighter also, or more curious as to what that would do to it. I got a
little dark fruits with it, and a bit cooler temp. And thanks again for letting
us taste that great espresso."

"My family really loves your espressos. We've tried
the Italiano, Organico and Organico Dark roasts. We use a super-automatic
Gaggia Titanium plus to prepare our espressos and were told that when using the
Organico Dark roast, to put just enough beans in the hopper so that the beans
do not remain more than a day in the hopper. Otherwise, the plumbing of our
Gaggia might get clogged. This worked just fine, and we want to order more of
the Organico Dark. It was THE favorite of everybody in the family. A question
for you: the espresso Allegro is listed as being an even darker roast than the
Organico Dark. Will it cause problems for our Gaggia? How does it compare in
taste to the Organico Dark?"
Steve Cox
Schoolcraft, Michigan
————————————————————————————————————————
"The Organico Dark is our favorite. It is wonderful
when diluted with just a wee bit of water. No milk or other flavorings needed
and no bitter taste that needs a sweetener. Just a wonderful rich dark, smokey
taste."

Kenya AA
————————————————————————————————————————
"I have roasted my own coffee and recently tried Kona
& Jamaican coffee from you. The Kenya AA beats them all as far as I am
concerned. I detected strong caramel notes, hints of chocolate and some
smokiness."
Rich Oberg
Groveland, Massachusetts
————————————————————————————————————————
"Thanks again for your continued dedication to your
product and your customers. It is rare in our economy today! I appreciate you
guys! (And gals). It's a joy doing business with you, when I order, I know I'll
get what I ordered in a timely fashion and that it will be exactly like you say
it will be. Your Kenyan AA is without doubt the best coffee I have ever had!
Keep on doing things like you do! God Bless;"
Rev. Johnny Thompson
Stanford, Kentucky
————————————————————————————————————————
"I was a bit hesitant to order because my experience
with Kenya AA is having it in Kenya. I had found a good source a few years ago
but threw out the package and didn't remember the source. I must say that I am
very pleased with the product I have received from you and I have written and
saved your site. I will definitely be ordering again. I gave some of the beans
away as Christmas presents and I included your web site. Thank you very much
for a quality product and a very rapid delivery!! Merry Christmas!"
Teresa Thorley
Dover, Delaware
————————————————————————————————————————
"I was very satisfied with my coffee. It was more
fresh than any other coffee I've had. The taste and aroma was extraordinary. I
chose the Kenya AA and will definitely be purchasing more"
Bryan Plunk
Virginia Beach, Virginia
————————————————————————————————————————
"Your Kenyan AA is the finest coffee I have ever had
the pleasure to drink. Your service is just as good. I appreciate you for your
dedication to your product and your customers! It's a pleasure to do business
with people you know you can trust and whose product is exactly as described if
not better. Keep it up! You've got a loyal customer in me. I appreciate
you!"
Johnny Thompson

————————————————————————————————————————
"I ordered the Kenya AA and Panamanian coffee. This is
the best tasting coffee that I have ever had. I ordered the coffee on a Tuesday
night and received it Friday afternoon. I gave samples to my friends and they
loved it. You now have another customer for life. Keep up the great service and
products."
Brian Ridenour
Fairway, Kansas
————————————————————————————————————————
"I have thoroughly enjoyed the Kenya AA coffee. I have
a new burr grinder and it has enabled me really enjoy my coffee. I do both drip
and french press."
John Alcorn
Angleton, Texas
————————————————————————————————————————
"The Kenya AA is the first sample I have tried from
you. The smell of the beans when I opened the bag was incredible. For me, part
of the enjoyment of coffee is in the smell; Kenya AA delivered. I was also very
impressed by the taste. It was strong enough for me to enjoy, but mild enough
not to be bitter with a bite. I plan to order more.
Jimmy Hazlett
Stanford, Kentucky
————————————————————————————————————————
"I have just one thing to say to you after making a
pot of your Kenya AA.........................................OH MY
GOODNESS!!!!!!!! No More Caribou For Me!!!!!!!!!!!.......You Folks ROCK!"
I just got my shipment of the Espresso Italiano. I opened the bag, sniffed the
contents and it was as if the essence of heaven had been released upon my
senses. I actually gasped! Then I pulled my morning double shot. The thick
syrupy golden liquid danced across my tongue like that of a ballroom dancer gliding
gracefully and across the floor. Then it was gone. Oh, this can't be the end I
thought, I had another and was in heaven once more. THANK YOU!
John Kidd
Waite Park, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"The value of your coffee beans was a pleasant
surprise.......however, the aroma and taste were amazing! I had been using a
local supplier for my Kenya AAA coffee for a number of years and assumed that
it was "as good as it gets".......wrong!! Very good taste, easy to
order, quick delivery and good product value."
Dennis Bolinger
Roann, Indiana

"the coffee is delicious! i had to cut to about
half-caf, so i ordered regular and decaf in three kinds--New York, Sumatra, and

Colombian Supremo
————————————————————————————————————————
"I have tried a lot of different coffees and finally
found your on the internet and decided to try them. My husband is from
Minnesota and I figured what the heck maybe they can roast good coffee beans.
Well we love the Columbian coffee beans. Plain coffee, no flavors for us. Thank
you so much. Everyone that has a cup of our coffee says it is good
coffee."
Linda Collison
Payson, Arizona
————————————————————————————————————————
"I had to adjust the amount of coffee I use per cup as
I went to the lighter roast Columbian over the darker roast starbucks, and when
that was adjusted then I knew your product was coffee at its finest. I am very
pleased with your product and also knowing there is someone at the helm
watching and caring about His reputation and the quality of the coffee and to
me the most important, the satisfaction of the customer. Bottom line its only
coffee but by putting it all together the quality of product and the concern
for customer satisfaction, to put it simply it is Coffee done Right. Happy new
year and much success to all of you."

Espresso Allegro
————————————————————————————————————————
"Love Allegro, cuz I love the darker roasts, but hear
because of the oilier beans to making a darker roast can clog grinders. Little
concerned, but hate light to med. roasts since I am strictly a strong cappa
drinker with lots of micro foam."
Linda Jardee
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
————————————————————————————————————————
"Helpppp! ever since my Uncle came over for coffee and
tasted your Espresso Allegro, he now comes over for coffee NOT once but 3 times
a week!!! he is hooked as bad as I am!! Me and my Espresso Allegro forever in
love :)
Dora Agosto

————————————————————————————————————————
"My boss lives in Seattle. Mostly drinks Starbucks.
Gave him about 1 1/2 or more lbs. of the Espresso Allegro. In 2 weeks it was
gone. One of the 5 lb bags I am ordering today is his Christmas present. We
haven't ordered in a while due to sickness and 3 of our coffee drinkers were
gone for 3 weeks. 2 of them were in Africa. Brought home an Ethiopian bean that
their cook, while in Africa, roasted. The bean is so dark it is black, but
doesn't taste burnt. Oh how we do love a good dark roast."

"I adore the Decadent Decaf! It IS decadent. Can I
have a sample of your Mocha Java? You should look into linking up with The My

French Roast Organic
————————————————————————————————————————
"Hi! I have an automatic delivery for 30oz of Organic
French Roast to be roasted the first Monday of the month. Would you please add
a 14oz of the same coffee? I have turned my in-law's on to your product and
they are very happy."
Anne
Palos Verdes Estates, California
————————————————————————————————————————
"The French Roast is best I have ever tried. I have
sampled many different brands, starbucks, milestone, eight o clock, and other
specialty roasters. Keep doing what your doing. The quality and value are
excellent."
Timothy Chyo
Dearborn, Michigan
————————————————————————————————————————
"SpecialtyJava, I recently received my first order of
your French Roast (56oz), and I'm writing to tell you that my experience with
your business practices, quality and pricing threaten to screw up the entire
coffee producing industry. How do you sleep at night knowing the adverse impact
and advantage you have on the rest of the nation's coffee producers? The flavor
of your French Roast is perfect to my way of taste, whether hot and fresh
brewed, or cold hours later. There's no acrid element to the French Roast, and
the smoothness is indescribable. As with about half of human beans (as Pogo
would call us), coffee makes me somnambulistic instead of more alert, however
I'm not made sleepy with your French Roast, as with other brands of French
Roast prepared in the same way, and that's terrific. Thanks for being you, and
for being there. Courage."
Robert Armour
Lakeside, California
————————————————————————————————————————
"Love your product. French Roast for every day and
Jamaican blue mountain for the weekends. I do wish though that there was a way
to choose a magnet other than asking for one in the comment box while ordering.
I like to give them when I share a bag with someone."

great!"
Linda Sny
Layton, Utah
Just getting to know what my formula is going to be. First pot-Too strong.
Second and third - close, but not quite. This is fun. I have been a
traditionalist all my life and stepping out into the void experiencing the
spectrum of new and exciting coffee flavors met with anticipation. I must
confess however that at 68 years of age, don't you think it is about time?
Thanks for the opportunity. I tried the French Roast first and it is nothing
like a store bought can of poop, I'm looking forward to the other
flavors/"
Donovan Elliott
League City, Texas
————————————————————————————————————————
"Your blend of French Roast coffee is the best I have
ever had! I have been drinking French Roast coffees for the last 10 years and
yours has more flavor than any brand I have tried. It had a rich, robust flavor
that can not be beat. Besides the taste, the smell alone is intoxicating. This
is a must try for any coffee lover."
David Hofseth
Hopkins, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"Fantastic Roast to Order French Roast coffee. Way
deeper, richer flavor than Starbucks or Trader Joes. Specialty Java coffee
(french roast) will be hard to beat in the world finals. Keep up the
outstanding work. Thanks again."
Paul Thornton
Torrance, California
————————————————————————————————————————
"This is the first time I have ordered coffee beans to
be roasted just for me. WOW! I am so enjoying my fresh roasted beans a mixture
of French Roast and Mocha Java. I have had so much fun grinding enough beans so
make several pots of coffee and taking them with me when I go to visit my best
friend and the news office I just retired from. You should have heard the
comments from my friends. They were so impressed (as I) they wanted to know all
about purchasing fresh beans; how to where etc. Will I order again? You bet!!
Thank you for being there when I wasn't able to fine Mocha Java on the store
shelves anymore; that is why I made the choice to order through
SpecialtyJava.com. Now, you will be my supplier as I certainly enjoy my fresh
roasted coffee each morning."

Ethiopian Yergacheffe
————————————————————————————————————————
"So far I've tried PT's, CoffeeFool, the Roasterie,
and you guys. All have been good - I like your feedback and order tracking very
much - that feature is lacking for a couple of the other guys. The Yergacheffe
has been my favorite so far."
Tim McKnight
Lexington, South Carolina
————————————————————————————————————————
"I originally bought Ethiopian Yergacheffe (sp) at the
market near my home. Then they stopped carrying it . IT took me some time to
find some one who carried it. Your service and quality have been great. I am
recovering from Cancer and one of the things I lost was all sense of taste. I
have told everyone that I miss the taste of coffee (yours ) the most. I think
it is gradually coming back. So keep up the good work."
Jeff Rich
Plainville, Connecticut

"Your Ethiopian Yergacheffe is the best coffee we have

Don Shannon

Dale Shirico
Oviedo, Florida
————————————————————————————————————————
"Thanks for the follow-up. I ordered from you several
years back; one for myself and one for my sister and brother-in-law. I savored
mine. They inhaled theirs. Finding a good source for Ethiopian Yergecheffe and
knowing it is freshly roasted is a real delight. I am sipping a cup now, as I
write. Coffee isn a sensual pleasure. Yours is some of the best I've had. Many
thanks for the delightful sensory experience and your prompt service! Makes
getting that cup of sensual delight most gratifying."

"The Guatemalan FT is an excellent anytime coffee.
Also got the Rockin' Java and NY NY blends both of which are very good full
bodied coffees but am partial to the Guatemalan. Keep up the good work. Thanks
Brad."
Brad Whitehouse
Carnegie, Oklahoma
————————————————————————————————————————
"This is the first bag of Smooth Jazz I've ordered. It
is wonderful and I am very pleased with the coffee. I do believe that I prefer
the coffee from Guatemala even better. I'm not completely sure why, but my
first instinct is that the Guatemalan is a bit toward the mild side, yet
maintains a lot of flavor. Still, I would order Smooth Jazz again
anytime."
Charley Cameron
Haughton, Louisiana
————————————————————————————————————————
"LOVE the Guatemalan - Hope the Guatemala Palacios
Estate is as pleasing ! Have referred quite a few people and given away magnets

Espresso Authentico

"ordered the espresso roasts...............very
nice.........actually the best crema of any coffee i have tried yet, and this
to me shows that yall know what you are doing and that you are serious. I
appreciate that."
James Waggoner
Phoenix, Arizona
————————————————————————————————————————
"I found your website from several reviews after
buying a new Jura Capresso. I ordered the Espresso Authentico and Espresso
Italiano. We loved how rich and smooth the Authentico tasted. In fact, a friend
we had over commented several times how amazing it was to get an Americano that
was not bitter at all. We have now ordered some for him as a gift, so now you
have 2 new very satisfied customers."
Andrew Lassen
Dubuque, Iowa
————————————————————————————————————————
"I recently discovered your product. I tried your
Organico roast. I'm currently trying your Authentico roast, which is as
suggested. (Similar to illy.) Awesome stuff. I'm sure I'll be ordering again in
the future. The only suggestion I have is to keep doing what you're
doing!!!"

good espresso machine and I've found this combo with your NY/NY &
authentico espresso beans and my new Gaggia machine.I've been brewing for 17
yrs & think I've reached perfection."
Tripoldi
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
————————————————————————————————————————
"We ordered the Espresso Authentico and the Espresso
Italiano. We've only tried the Authentico so far. We are enjoying it and
looking forward to trying the Italiano. We will probably be ordering again when
we start running low."
Jean Cubero
Tampa, Florida
————————————————————————————————————————
"Wonderful espresso, fantastic flavor and crema.
(Espresso Authentico) We knew right away we were going to love these beans
because they were not too oily. So often Espresso beans are "greasy",
and very difficult to persuade into the burr grinder that is built into our
superautomatic machine. We are newbies, only had a superauotmatic for 7 months.
We have been experimenting with countless number of gourmet espresso beans in
all price ranges, this one has them all beat even the 45$ lb bags were put to
shame! Fantastic flavor & aroma and the perfect non bitter aftertaste. So
smooth, and creamy, husband is totally into latte', but I have really enjoyed
this without the foam fix.."
Bill and Angela Turner
Yukon, Oklahoma
————————————————————————————————————————
"For the money, your espresso authentico is by far the
best espresso my wife and I have ever drank. We have tried brands costing twice
as much as yours, but with only half the flavor and freshness!!"

Paradise
————————————————————————————————————————
"I tried the Paradise sample that you gave away last
month. I have NEVER tasted a better coffee. I usually like the strong dark
roasts (I usually get the Sumatran), but I'm really glad I tried the Paradise
sample. The only problem is going to be deciding which one to get next time.
Thank you very much! P..S. you guys didn't stumble upon the Garden of Eden, did
you?

to my computer. Wow! Terrific! What a great way to slow down the day and relax.
Thanks for the pleasure of enjoying great coffee -- and for placing the order
for me when I couldn't! (No need to reply. I just wanted to let you know how
good the coffee tastes and how much I appreciate repeated good service.)"

"Great coffee, paradise my favorite!!!!!!"
Rick Hawkins
Taft, California
————————————————————————————————————————
"I recently purchased (3) of your blended coffees,
which is something I rarely do (i.e., prefer "single origin"
coffees). I Started with the "Paradise" blend, and just finished the
"New York" "New York" blend ... truly enjoyed both!
"Velvet Soul " is next, and I hope it will yield the same results as
the other two! I don't know if it's my Technivorm brewer that brings out the
best in this coffee or, if it's the other way around ... either way, I win! I
haven't tried a press pot yet, but that's next. Actually, I decided not to
wait, and just placed my second order today ... trying three more blends. If
they're as good as what I've had so far, I think you have a "new"
customer!"

Daystar Lights
————————————————————————————————————————
"My husband and I really love your coffee! We weren't
real coffee drinkers until we tried yours. The fresh and delectably smooth
taste is such a treat for us every morning now. I used to go to Starbucks but
not anymore. We have tried several varieties, such as NY NY, Smooth Jazz,
Daystar Lights and a couple of the organics, and we love them all. Right now my
favorite is Daystar Lights. It has a wonderful rich chocolatey finish that I
love. Thanks for a wonderful product. I'm spreading the word."
Janice Curlin
Texas
————————————————————————————————————————
"It has a good aroma smells like coffee should taste.
It has a med. body, I would like it a little stronger but over all I am happy

Espresso Italiano
————————————————————————————————————————
"I enjoy the flavor balance and crema of this
espresso. The beans are a bit oily, and oilier than other Italian espresso
beans I have had (but not starbucks, of course). I figure it is worth it for
the good flavor"
Rick Troiano
Arlington, Virginia
————————————————————————————————————————
"We have been ordering coffee from Specialty Java
since 10/09 after needing to change my wholesale supplier. Our customers are
extremely happy and 'hooked'! We use the Espresso Italiano for all of our

have many of our friends and family addicted!!!"
Heather Mariconi
Livermore, California
————————————————————————————————————————
"I was exclusively a Starbucks espresso blend user.
When I bought my new built-in machine the Starbucks tasted weak. Your Italian
Espresso blend is excellent - full-bodied, not bitter - exactly what I was
looking for."
Morrison Payne
Walterboro, South Carolina
————————————————————————————————————————
"Recently received my DeLonghi Magnifica
espresso-cappuccino maker and tried your Italian Espresso. This is as good as
it gets. There is nothing finer... the crema, flavor and freshness is simply
amazing. I would recommend this over Starbucks, Tullys and Peets all day long.
You must try this coffee with a good machine like the DeLonghi or Jura
Capresso. I'm sold and will never turn back. This is even better than the Illy
espresso beans supplied with the machine. All I can say is "WOW" and
"thank you" for your superior product and excellent service."

"Have only tried the espresso italiano and it is

Martin Weyl
Green Brook, New Jersey
————————————————————————————————————————
"The lightness of the ground beans fills my Bialetti
higher, floats in the first 2 splashes in the Melitta. And the flavor of all 3
types (NY.NY.Decaf, Tanzanian Peaberry, Espresso Italiano) had a softness and a
depth which was surprising, wonderful, almost redefining what
"coffee" means. Thank you."
John Hay
New Haven, Connectic
It was a pleasure to find your site and your coffee. I generally prefer the
true Italian model of medium roasted beans, long on crema, short on bitterness.
(Starbucks isn't really even coffee, particularly as they pour off the crema
when transferring from 1 cup to the next!) Your coffees obviously aim for the
truer authentic roast style and I enjoyed their freshness."
Lewis Rosengarten
Saratoga Springs, New York
————————————————————————————————————————
"I ordered the 14 oz size of New York-New York and
Rockin' Java, as well as a sample of Espresso Italiano. So far, I've tried the
New York and the Espresso -- both are great. I will definitely order from
Specialty Java again."
Melinda Boyd

Panama Boquete

"Great coffee. Its practically impossible to get
panamanian coffee anywhere. I once lived there. This coffee is either loved or
hated by Americans. I love it. Your online site presented it and I thank

of coffees. The Costa Rican, and Panama are favorites in our house so far. We
look forward to sampling more types from around the world."
Nickie Enochs
Canton, Ohio
————————————————————————————————————————
"The coffee, a medium roast of Arabica from Boquete
Panama, was fantastic. On my last visit to Panama, I purchased enough freshly
roasted coffee to get me through, but I gave some of it away as gifts and
couldn't wait until my return next week."
Richard Davis
Waldorf, Maryland
————————————————————————————————————————
"Ok, we're ruined! My husband and I go on vacation and
all we can think is..."We can't wait to get home and have some good
coffee!" Not only is this coffee outstanding in flavor but and exceptional
value! The service is fast and my emails have always been responded to with a
personal touch. We have tried several that were amazing but New York New York
and the Panamanian are so far our favorites. The personalized labeling makes it
so great for gifts. Thank you Specialty Java for making mornings something to look
forward to and evenings with your fabulous decaf so satisfying!"
Deborah Rowden
Siloam Springs, Arkansas
————————————————————————————————————————
"I just got home from our fourth grade JASON
Presentation, Rainforests at the Crossroads. We served our Panamanian
coffee...the aroma filled the gym! The taste was great! Thanks for giving us an
opportunity to find a coffee that exactly matched our destination."
Margaret Giroux
Royal Oak, Michigan
————————————————————————————————————————
"Next to knowing God provided another day, nothing
compares to that first sip of Panama Boquete, mixed with a drop of heavy
whipping cream! The aroma first delights the sense of smell while grinding the
beans, but eventually, the whole body is charged, yet soothed, with the delight
of that first sip! Mmmmmm. A grateful recipient of Specialty Java coffee."
Pam Kinney
Minneapolis, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"I ordered the Kenya AA and Panamanian coffee. This is
the best tasting coffee that I have ever had. I ordered the coffee on a Tuesday
night and received it Friday afternoon. I gave samples to my friends and they
loved it. You now have another customer for life. Keep up the great service and
products."
Brian Ridenour

last minute gift and had it shipped to a friend -- Coffee arrived in just one
week and is absolutely delicious in aroma & flavor. We are anxious to
peruse your site to see what other delectable treats you offer --Thank you for
a great cup of coffee and service to match!
Melody Camp
San Diego, California
————————————————————————————————————————
"I couldn't wait to get up this morning and start the
coffee brewing. The Panamanian I tried was great. My husbands comment was,
"This coffee takes less sugar." What we were drinking used to be so
bitter."
Jodee Bass
Minnetrista, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"My brother Jim just called me tonight and is very
impressed with your Panamanian coffee. He mentioned the subtle chocolate flavor
and the rich aroma. I was proud to have sent him a coffee he truly appreciates
as he is a man of high coffee standards. Thanks for helping me send him a gift
he can savor in the truest sense of the word!"
Betty Hanlon
Saint Paul, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"The Panama Boquete is very flavorful for a non dark
roast, the Nicaraguan was okay, but not the flavor of the Panama Boquete. The
Smooth Jazz sample I got was the best tasting coffee I've ever tasted in my
life! I will be sure to get it on my next order."
Jerry Denton

————————————————————————————————————————
"Your Panamanian coffee is superb (and my hubby is a
chef and pretty picky about his beans). Keep those beans coming!"

Bavarian Chocolate
————————————————————————————————————————
"Fantastic Coffee. I purchased some of the Bavarian
Chocolate, very fast delivery, can’t find a fresher bean and the flavor is
great. I would like to know if there are any plans to create a double chocolate
flavored coffee. I have been purchasing my flavored beans from a local market,
I really enjoy the “Death By Chocolate” flavor they offer as it is a double
chocolate, although I am not too crazy about the powder flavor it gives to the
coffee. Please inform me if any plans are in order."

Hawaiian Kona
————————————————————————————————————————
"Hello Kevin & Co., Just a note to tell you that I
just received you Kona sample package and it is past my expectations! WOW… I
was already a fan of your company but this is over the top. I will be ordering
some more in the very near future. Thank You. God Bless You and Yours over the
Holiday Season. Sincerely, Doug"
Douglas Reese
Scio, Ohio
————————————————————————————————————————
"I recently purchased my first sample bags of both
Jamaican Blue Mountain and Kona beans. I have to say, one taste and I
understood what the fuss was about -- It was the best cuppa coffee I ever had!
Everything else tasted bitter and watery by comparison, so now I am ready to
buy a big bag."
Lauren Rapport
West Hollywood, California
————————————————————————————————————————
"Your coffee makes my day, everyday! Excellent
selection, great experience in tasting varieties normally not available at
stores. My last purchase of the Hawaiian Kona was absolute hit, that coffee is
simply amazing, not comparable to anything else I have tried so far"
Adam Bistram
Corona, California
————————————————————————————————————————
"Your coffee has very good quality. I was stationed in
Hawaii for 3 years and I enjoyed the taste of 100% Kona Coffee. Every since I
was transferred to California I have not been able to find good Kona Coffee.
Well while I am deployment I have to order my coffee through the internet.
Normally I do not do that because I love good quality coffee. Well my Chief
ordered from you and I think it is a very good quality coffee you produce.
Thanks and I plan on ordering from you again."
Timothy Barbee
Port Hueneme, California
————————————————————————————————————————
"Excellent quality. We have already finished the Kona
and are now starting on the French Roast. Very difficult to find good Kona at a
good price."
Joan Steck
Avon, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"I ordered six samples and have tried two. The
Hawaiian Kona: This was just as I had hoped it would be - exceptional. So many
flavors from flowers, earth and water. Enjoy this one black. The Rock 'n Java:
The bean was dark and oily but the taste was smooth and full-flavored with
medium to high acidity and plenty of body. To me It is vivid and clean but to
someone using coffee in their cup of cream and sugar - it needs to be made
stronger."
Tina Long
Richmond, Virginia
Smooth Jazz Organic
————————————————————————————————————————
"Organic Sumatran- what can I say? This roast rocks. A
very tough decision for me between the Organic Smooth Jazz and this one. New
York New York- I found this to be a decent cup of coffee, but didn't have much
of a kick to it. Organic Smooth Jazz - This was very good, even at room temp !.
I was impressed by the bold taste. It stood up very well in heavy cream (I use
that only)."
KL Webb
San Antonio, Texas
————————————————————————————————————————
"I have been looking for a coffee to replace Starbucks
for about a year and a half now. They seems to have changed their house blend
to house bland. I enjoy coffee that that taste like coffee, rich, smooth and
flavorful and I found it in your organic smooth jazz. Thank you so much for
finally giving me a cup of coffee I can look forward to!!! KEEP PRODUCING
ORGANIC SMOOTH JAZZ AND I'LL BE A HAPPY LONGTIME CUSTOMER!"
Cathy Gallina
Macomb, Michigan
————————————————————————————————————————
"My friends Doug and Karen Storey in Houston, Texas
sent me a bag of the organic jazz as a housewarming gift. I just relocated back
to Texas from Washington State and like great coffee!!!"

ever!!!"
Mary Beth Brown
Harvest, Alabama
————————————————————————————————————————
"We just opened a wholesale account with you are very
excited to have found your company. Our two top favorites of the 5 that we have
ordered so far is Espresso Organico and Constant Cravings. WE will be trying
more varieties to determine which we will use and carry in our new store.
Thanks so Much, Anne."
Anne Marshall
Gainesville, Florida
————————————————————————————————————————
"All the coffees I ordered are wonderful, particularly
the constant cravings. Like the name I constantly crave it. Thank you. I
absolutely love your coffees. I will definitely be ordering again."
Peggie Larsen
Pierre, South Dakota
Constant Cravings Blend: "This is a very drinkable, dark-roasted coffee.
It seems to mellow a bit after the first few sips. The ending is quite smooth,
with no aftertaste. This coffee is great by itself, but would also lend itself
well to various coffee "drinks". Service has been exemplary since I
became a customer. All orders have been accurate and very promptly delivered.
Well done."
Nila Slaughter
Vienna, Virginia
Constant Cravings Blend: "Big, bold, rich, smoky, smooth, INCREDIBLE
FLAVOR! Heavenly Aroma. Congratulations the "name" says it all. Upon
opening the bag (which contained our usual "espresso authentico"
& "sumatran") The aroma of the "constant cravings" is
so desirable and intense, my wife responded by saying, "It makes me want a
cup of coffee" (she is a total espresso drinker) and that at 4 'o' clock
in the afternoon. Being one who enjoys the strong, dark beans, this blend is
delightful. No, more than delightful, it is actually the only other sample I've
tried that I would buy. I liked the smooth jazz a lot, but this is the best
yet. I am continually astounded in the delivery time and service. How I can
order it one day, and 24 hours later, from MN to GA it be in my hand? Amazing.
Since finding you almost a year ago, we have bought no where else! Mega Kudo's
and Jumbo Booyah's - I give it a 90 on the cupping form score."
Eddie Rogers
Kennesaw, Georgia
————————————————————————————————————————
"We just had our first pot of Constant Cravings --
GOOD COFFEE - not bitter - no poor aftertaste -- I like the bags - all 14 oz ,
but seemed to be different amounts in some. Do you grind any ? GOOD service --
Quick -- fast e-mail replies !!!! Thanks John !!!!"

"Hi From Milwaukee :) My order arrived safely this
afternoon :) Thanks for the fast service and low shipping cost!! The New World

Java Estate
————————————————————————————————————————
"I like the Java Estate for its low acidity and smooth
taste. I shared the coffee with a co-worker, who likes it also. I've given your
website to him. You might get a new customer."
Cheri Wang
Salinas, California
————————————————————————————————————————
"Order arrived Thursday (shipped Monday). Have only
tried the Java Estate, and found it to be excellent. Nice looking beans, evenly
roasted, wonderful aroma, very smooth cup. Look forward to trying the Panama
beans next. Good work."
Frank Darr
Missouri City, Texas
————————————————————————————————————————
"I love your coffee and especially that I receive my
order within 3 days of roasting for a great delivery price! With my Silvia
machine and fresh coffee, I cannot stand any other coffee. I'm trying some of
the samples you send to expand my horizons. I really enjoyed the Java
Estate!"

Kenya AA Decaf
————————————————————————————————————————
"The Kenya AA Decaf is the best decaf we've every had.
Is there any way to get an organic decaf that approaches this quality?"
Don and Laura Keefer
Urbana, Illinois
————————————————————————————————————————
"The Kenya AA decaf is great! We've been enjoying
Kenya AA decaf for years and yours is at the top of the list. It has such a
rich taste that no one knows it's decaf unless I tell them..."

Tanzanian Peaberry
————————————————————————————————————————
"My favorite single origin and it has become my
"regular" buy. Specialty Java keeps the roast light which brings out
a lot of flavor. Probably the best peaberry on the market today. It is very
forgiving of brewing miscues. Hopefully, it will remain on your offering list.
It has been purchased numerous times."
Mark Botta
Parlin, New Jersey
————————————————————————————————————————
"I have tested most of your coffees at home and on my
coworkers and we all agree that the Tanzanian Peaberry is by far the best
overall product so far, even above New York, New York and the overrated Blue
Mountain. All your coffees are superb but this one going to be hard to top, at
least for us in the Midwest!"
Bob Fehringer
Fairview Heights, Illinois
————————————————————————————————————————
"I really, really, really like the TANZANIAN PEABERRY
please keep it around."
Brian Brackeen
Ponder, Texas
————————————————————————————————————————
"The lightness of the ground beans fills my Bialetti
higher, floats in the first 2 splashes in the Melitta. And the flavor of all 3
types (NY.NY.Decaf, Tanzanian Peaberry, Espresso Italiano) had a softness and a
depth which was surprising, wonderful, almost redefining what
"coffee" means. Thank you."
John Hay
New Haven, Connecticut
————————————————————————————————————————
"I've been searching for quality Tanzania Peaberry
coffee for over 10 years. I'm quite pleased with the beans I received, the
freshness of the roast, the ease of ordering and your request for feedback.
Thank you."
J McMillan

Cinnamon Hazelnut
————————————————————————————————————————
"I loved the flavor of the coffee. There is a
harmonious blend of cinnamon and hazelnut, neither one overpowered the other. I
truly enjoyed the smell and the taste. Nothing was as good as the first cup
after being freshly roasted! Amazing product!"
Heather Ockenfels
North Liberty, Iowa
————————————————————————————————————————
"I have to tell you I was so impressed when I got my
order!! This was the first time I've ordered fresh roasted coffee & I
couldn't believe the difference!! This may sound crazy but I was so surprised
with the color, smell, feel of the coffee beans, I just couldn't believe what a
difference these beans made!! I couldn't stop looking at them & smelling
them!! And the taste is awesome...I absolutely love the cinnamon/hazlenut which
is the flavor I've been looking for!! I am very happy with both flavors I got &
will continue to order from Specialty Java!!"
Mindy Pollock

Yemen Mocha
————————————————————————————————————————
"I went and bought a Cusinart Grinder just to be able
to enjoy these beans and so far I have been very, very pleased. I enjoyed the
Jamaican Blue Mountain very much, the Yemen was good and am now enjoying the
Costa Rican. Will be ordering again. Thanks!"
Brad Johnson

"We've had a great time sampling the different types

Sumatra Decaf
————————————————————————————————————————
"It is very difficult to find good, strong, high
quality de-caf coffee at a reasonable price. This usually means I drink more
caffeinated coffee than I would like to. I have now tried both your Jazz blend
and Sumatra de-cafs and they are both EXCELLENT! The regular Sumatra
caffeinated is excellent also. I will definitely order again. Thanks for a
great product." Scott Jacobs Valley Village, California"We enjoyed
your French Roast and Sumatra decaf. It arrived in less than a week."
Reginald Spittle
Mariposa, California
————————————————————————————————————————
"Hi John, thanks for the info. I have enjoyed your
coffee since the first order a few weeks ago. I'm so excited to have decaf with
such a great bean as Sumatra with full-bodied ness. I get so sick of decaf
Columbian which floods the market and for my taste it's so chalky and leaves
such a dry aftertaste! Do you have a retail store? I have family in other
states and didn't know where you are based. Thanks so much!"
Julie Burkey
Maitland, Florida
Espresso Italiano Decaf
————————————————————————————————————————
"We got the espresso machine a few months back and
have been getting Starbucks but wanted organic which they do not have organic
decaf espresso beans. You guys do and at a great price! Plus your website is so
helpful seeing as how we are starting to learn about the espresso experience.
So we tried a straight shot of Starbucks versus your organic decaf espresso.
I'm pretty sure angels were singing. What I noticed was that Starbucks was very
bitter and had a horrible bite. Yours was very smooth and rich. I never really
noticed before because I also drink the espresso as a soy latte. Now my lattes
are fabulous and I always look forward to the weekends because then I have time
to have two instead of one. I will never buy anything else. Thank you so
much."
Jennifer Budd
El Cajon, California

Smooth Jazz
————————————————————————————————————————
"Every bean provider talks about the balance of their
blends, but this blend delivers it in combination with full body and
wonderfully rich flavors. I haven't tasted a blend this good in years, and,
believe me, I have been mainlining good coffee for a long time. If you haven't
tried it, don't miss it!"
Bill Parker
Cincinnati, Ohio
————————————————————————————————————————
"I ordered the Smooth Jazz and want you to know it is
one of the best coffees I've ever had------MUCH better than Starbuck's--in fact
I will not buy any other type of coffee from now on--you've got my
business....."
Robin Schoenfeld
Pahrump, Nevada
————————————————————————————————————————
"So far, NYNY and Smooth Jazz are outstanding in my
opinion. The pure Columbian seems a bit mild mannered to me but good. Due to
hurried and harried holidays, we have not tried the other two yet. Never had
bags that were zip-lock as well as valved before... a big plus!!!"
Grant Gehlbach
Rock Hill, South Carolina
————————————————————————————————————————
"My daughter works in the coffee industry, but I like
this much better than what they offer. She brings me different kinds every now
and then and we just keep coming back to smooth jazz."
Leila Cicchiello
Louisville, Kentucky
————————————————————————————————————————
"All I can say is WOW! Smooth Jazz is just that
SMOOTH, like a fine wine. I originally ordered some coffee varieties for my
Father-in-law's birthday, then decided "I" needed to try it too. I
received it today and must say it is EXCELLENT coffee. I previously bought my
coffee from a Discount Warehouse store and found it to be inconsistent in
taste. I am not a coffee snob, but I think you have made me one now! Shame on
You!
Denise Alcaraz
Southlake, Texas
————————————————————————————————————————
"I am an avid coffee drinker and love waking up to a
good cup of coffee. I have never tasted coffee any better than what is right
here. It gives my day a truly fresh start and when I have company the rave
reviews are overwhelming. I have tried the New York, New York and the Smooth
Jazz. The New York is my favorite so far although I like the smooth jazz also.
The service in delivery is awesome and super fast. I am 100% satisfied with
this coffee and you now have a steady customer. Again, thanks so much!
Betty Enger
Yorkville, Illinois
————————————————————————————————————————
"I received the shipment of Smooth Jazz Blend!
Incredible! I have been a Starbuck's coffee drinker for a long time. But I
think I have a new favorite coffee. I usually drink coffee with a little cream
in it to cut the usual harsh bite of strong coffee. I tried Smooth Jazz blend
with out cream and it was great. No harshness or acid bite to it. Great
blend."
Jim Alcorn
Broadview Heights, Ohio
————————————————————————————————————————
"I just received my first shipment on Friday. I
absolutely love the New York New York and the Smooth Jazz. You definitely have
a new customer."
Cindy Patterson
Scottsdale, Arizona
————————————————————————————————————————
"I love the Smooth Jazz! I buy both the regular and
decaf and mix them (proportion based on the time of day!) The flavor is
wonderful, either alone or mixed with a flavor in a latte. I plan to try other
kinds, but will always make sure I have some Smooth Jazz on hand."
Linda Schnobrich
Waconia, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"I just received my order last night and have yet to
try the New York New York, but the Smooth Jazz blend was excellent. It's
everything that I expect from specialty, fresh roasted coffee. Judging by the
aroma, I'm sure the New York New York won't disappoint Also, thanks for the
quick turnaround."
William Vosburgh
Las Vegas, Nevada
————————————————————————————————————————
"Love the coffee. Will definitely be using your
service from now on. Smooth Jazz is absolutely exquisite, very nice. The
Jamaican Blue Mountain was very nice too! Tried the samples and love the
coffee. Your prices are good and the beans are great! The aroma of a freshly
opened bag is to die for!!"
Brian Brackeen
Denton, Texas
————————————————————————————————————————
"I am absolutely wild about your Smooth Jazz. Without
giving any secrets away, could you tell me what countries beans are represented
in this product. Is is single origin or a blend. I am a customer and cannot get
enough of Smooth Jazz. Thanks in advance."
Lou Dilts
Littleton, Colorado
————————————————————————————————————————
"The Panama Boquete is very flavorful for a non dark
roast, the Nicaraguan was okay, but not the flavor of the Panama Boquete. The
Smooth Jazz sample I got was the best tasting coffee I've ever tasted in my
life! I will be sure to get it on my next order."
Jerry Denton
Laurel Delaware
————————————————————————————————————————
"While the prompt response and ease of ordering are
value features, the quality of the product supercedes all other aspects in my
mind. The New York, New York type is very good, and I would definitely order it
again. Our preference for our regular coffee is a strong, robust flavor just
short of espresso (We travel in Europe, so we enjoy espresso also). Keep up the
good work."
Carl Howard
Tucson, Arizona
————————————————————————————————————————
"I am not a coffee connoisseur by any stretch of the
imagination. I simply enjoy a good cup of coffee. My wife and I both tried New
York New York and Smooth Jazz and thoroughly enjoyed both! We will be
reordering soon. Thanks for providing a great product!"
Bill Stejskal
Fort Meyers, Florida
————————————————————————————————————————
"This is the first bag of Smooth Jazz I've ordered. It
is wonderful and I am very pleased with the coffee. I do believe that I prefer
the coffee from Guatemala even better. I'm not completely sure why, but my
first instinct is that the Guatemalan is a bit toward the mild side, yet
maintains a lot of flavor. Still, I would order Smooth Jazz again
anytime."
Charley Cameron
Haughton, Louisiana
————————————————————————————————————————
"Wow, what a great cup of coffee! The first morning
our kitchen smelled like a coffee shop. What a great way to start the day! We
purchased Smooth Jazz and French Vanilla and we love both of them. Our son told
us about your coffee and are we ever glad he did! Thanks for a great product
and excellent service."
Rebecca Leopold

Shannon Booher

————————————————————————————————————————
"The Smooth Jazz is a winner. I shared with my
daughter's family and son's family. They have both asked several times what the
name of the blend is and the source and most recently when I will order some
more."
James Evans
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma
————————————————————————————————————————
"I am really enjoying the Smooth Jazz & the New
York/NY. The Velvet Soul is a little light for my tastes. I seem to prefer the
darker roasts but I'm relatively new to coffee drinking even though I'm 57 in a
few days. I'll be trying other types as time goes on as I'm very curious to see
what the differences are."
John Borella
Danielson, Connecticut
Rock N' Java
————————————————————————————————————————
"I got my shipment of Rock N Java, I am speechless. I
am very picky about my coffee but this coffee rocks for sure. It's so fresh,
and a perfect blend, what a great cup of dark black coffee to rock my world
when I need it. And the price beats Dunn Bros. which I have been drinking for
years by far. Thank You"
Douglas Nelson
Brooklyn Park, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"The Guatemalan FT is an excellent anytime coffee.
Also got the Rockin' Java and NY NY blends both of which are very good full
bodied coffees but am partial to the Guatemalan. Keep up the good work. Thanks

"Thanks so much for answering all of my questions
before I placed my order! What great customer service...and I was really
excited that they were answered by the actual roast master. A definite first in
my coffee ordering experience. I ordered the reg and decaf sample packs of
Rock' N Java and New York New York since I'm a half caf drinker (I know, I
know). I've had a hard time making great coffee at home but you've definitely
won me over! Both were fantastic and I'll be placing another order soon."

"I love your products. Family coffee lovers will enjoy
this holiday season. Just tried the rockin java. It's so nice to get such a

mostly Starbucks, Caribou, Dunn brother's customers...but not any longer!!! We
notice a huge difference in the flavor - the freshness is so obvious! We loved
the Rock' N Java and re-ordered that, but will try others and no doubt find
other coffee's we will love! The shipping right to our door is AWESOME!! It
can't get any more convenient! Your prices are wonderful too! We have been
referring you to other friends and family! Thanks so much!

"This is so cool. Our favorite of the three we
purchased is the Rock & Java. We like kick ass coffee in the morning. The
New York New York is second with and tastes better bur not as strong. Third we
bought Paradise, which is how I found your site I was looking for the taste of
a coffee I had many years back when I spent the Summer in Hawaii. Too bad Kona
coffee cost an arm and a leg. Nevertheless this has been the best coffee we
have had in as long as I can remember. Thanks and we can't wait to try more variety."

New York New York Decaf
————————————————————————————————————————
"This is my first time ordering coffee from anyone
other than a grower in Hawaii and I have to say you rate right up there with
them if not better. Your coffee and costumer service is far more than I
expected. The first two coffee I ordered were decaf ( Smooth Jazz, New York New
York) something I could not get from my last supplier. Both of the decaf are
great it's nice to know that decaf does not mean flavorless the flavor and
aroma are everything you could hope for and more. Thanks again for the great
coffee and I look forward to the next order and the next......"

Thanks."
ME Watts

"I've served the New York New York decaf to guests

to grind and brew my first cup of the day!"
Mary Wroblewski
Eden Prairie, Minnesota
French Vanilla
————————————————————————————————————————
"The delivery time was amazingly quick but I didn't
get to sample the product until yesterday. I tried the French Vanilla and what
a revelation. Good strong vanilla flavor with a sturdy coffee backdrop which is
just what I was hoping for instead of the usual weak result of a combination.
I'd venture to say this isn't just the best coffee but the best drink I've ever
had. I'm scared to try the Bavarian Chocolate for fear of a pleasure overload,
but rest assured I will. I will be ordering more. Thanks for your work!"
Joseph Mace III

Sumatra Mandheling Organic
————————————————————————————————————————
"We have been the beneficiaries of various whole bean
coffees from friends over the last 6 months. We've had Starbucks and Caribou
and PJ's. We recently reordered Specialty Java's organic sumatra after our
months "cheating" on it with these other javas. What a relief to get
back to organic sumatra. It is by far the most flavorful coffee of all we have
tried. It stands up to milk or cream and retains its flavor. Keep up the
excellent quality. We know we can't find better java - even if it's given to
us!."
Colleen Gay
Northfield, Minnesota

"Thank you very much for the excellent service and

definitely be ordering more."
Lesli Furo

"Organic Sumatran- what can I say? This roast rocks. A
very tough decision for me between the Organic Smooth Jazz and this one. New
York New York- I found this to be a decent cup of coffee, but didn't have much
of a kick to it. Organic Smooth Jazz - This was very good, even at room temp !.
I was impressed by the bold taste. It stood up very well in heavy cream (I use
that only)."

Smooth Jazz Decaf
————————————————————————————————————————
"This is my first time ordering coffee from anyone
other than a grower in Hawaii and I have to say you rate right up there with
them if not better. Your coffee and costumer service is far more than I
expected. The first two coffee I ordered were decaf ( Smooth Jazz, New York New
York) something I could not get from my last supplier. Both of the decaf are
great it's nice to know that decaf does not mean flavorless the flavor and
aroma are everything you could hope for and more. Thanks again for the great
coffee and I look forward to the next order and the next......"
Dennis Foster

"I love the Smooth Jazz! I buy both the regular and
decaf and mix them (proportion based on the time of day!) The flavor is
wonderful, either alone or mixed with a flavor in a latte. I plan to try other
kinds, but will always make sure I have some Smooth Jazz on hand."

"Wow! I placed my order at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday and
had the coffee beans in my hands before noon on Friday. That's truly
outstanding for an out of state order! As the delivery man handed the package
to me, he stated that he almost hesitated to let the order get out of his truck
because it looked so good. I immediately made brewed a fresh cup - a little
hesitant of ordering the dark roast beans, but the Smooth Jazz decaf was and is
terrific. I'm looking forward to enjoying every cup and have already told friends
about the quality and amazing service of your company. Thank you.

"I was so excited to receive my first order that I had
to refrain from hugging the Spee-Dee man! I am now sitting with a fresh cup of
Smooth Jazz decaf and am absolutely thrilled. I feel as if I have found one of
those elusive secrets of life. Surely heaven smells like fresh roasted coffee
beans from Specialty Java. I will be a customer forever. Thank you!!!"

"It is very difficult to find good, strong, high
quality de-caf coffee at a reasonable price. This usually means I drink more
caffeinated coffee than I would like to. I have now tried both your Jazz blend
and Sumatra de-cafs and they are both EXCELLENT! The regular Sumatra
caffeinated is excellent also. I will definitely order again. Thanks for a
great product."

————————————————————————————————————————
"Thanks so much for answering all of my questions
before I placed my order! What great customer service...and I was really
excited that they were answered by the actual roast master. A definite first in
my coffee ordering experience. I ordered the reg and decaf sample packs of
Rock' N Java and New York New York since I'm a half caf drinker (I know, I
know). I've had a hard time making great coffee at home but you've definitely
won me over! Both were fantastic and I'll be placing another order soon."

"I own an Espresso grinder but needed a regular
grinder for non-espresso. I saw that you had a good price on a decent grinder
with discounted coffee beans. I substituted organic espresso beans for the non
espresso beans. The Espresso beans are excellent; rich tasting with a good
crema. I will be buying them again from you."
Howard Fields
San Antonio, Texas
————————————————————————————————————————
"We have been the beneficiaries of various whole bean
coffees from friends over the last 6 months. We've had Starbucks and Caribou
and PJ's. We recently reordered Specialty Java's organic sumatra after our
months "cheating" on it with these other javas. What a relief to get
back to organic sumatra. It is by far the most flavorful coffee of all we have
tried. It stands up to milk or cream and retains its flavor. Keep up the
excellent quality. We know we can't find better java - even if it's given to
us!."
Colleen Gay
Northfield, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"Wow, what great coffee. We are going to run out
before we can order again and the thought of using other coffee is a downer.
Seriously, this is the best coffee I've ever tasted. We want to order larger
quantities but want to taste a couple of other beans before we land on the one
we will do larger quantities with. Thanks for a great cup of coffee!"

"this is the best coffee I have found anywhere...tell
all my friends about it..never bitter,,,always so fresh..after buying and using
coffee from you, I find others, especially coffee shop coffee too bitter to
drink. As i have discovered, if a bag of coffee has a "best if used by
date", then that is a WORST case time, this coffee you buy in stores can
be up to a year old when buying. never the case with coffee from you..all my
friends come by my house just to drink my coffee. THANK YOU!!!"

"Wow! Thanks John for the reply. And for me, it is not
often that I feel as though I am getting personal attention as a customer. That
means a lot to me. I know the history of coffee and tell it to anyone that
shows an interest. Most people are really unaware of the impact that spices and
coffee etc. have had in the direction of world economies, growth of nations and
regions. Bach’s “Coffee Cantata” as a political statement of the times is just
one example. Thanks again and I do look forward to doing more business with
your enterprise. Excellent coffee and will try other beans next time. I seem to
get a blank stare from folgers drinkers when I talk about fresh roasted and
freshly ground taste. They have no clue. I have literally yelled "Wake Up
and Smell the Coffee" more than once and have brought a few people to
their senses. Thanks for your passion for a good cup of Joe! :) Happy
Thanksgiving ..."

"The lightness of the ground beans fills my Bialetti
higher, floats in the first 2 splashes in the Melitta. And the flavor of all 3
types (NY.NY.Decaf, Tanzanian Peaberry, Espresso Italiano) had a softness and a
depth which was surprising, wonderful, almost redefining what
"coffee" means. Thank you."

bit of trial an error in trying to achieve the right flavor/strength, however
getting better. I would like to complement your coffee varieties. I purchased

like it."

"Just getting to know what my formula is going to be.
First pot-Too strong. Second and third - close, but not quite. This is fun. I
have been a traditionalist all my life and stepping out into the void
experiencing the spectrum of new and exciting coffee flavors met with
anticipation. I must confess however that at 68 years of age, don't you think
it is about time? Thanks for the opportunity. I tried the French Roast first
and it is nothing like a store bought can of poop, I'm looking forward to the
other flavors/"

like the zip-lock bag that the beans came in, also. I look forward to trying
the sample pack that came with my order. It looks like you really put forth a
good effort, and I appreciate it as a customer. Affordability is especially
important to me right now, and I think that you will save me a bit of money, as
well. It gives every indication that it really was just roasted. Thank
you."

"The Panama Boquete is very flavorful for a non dark

"While the prompt response and ease of ordering are
value features, the quality of the product supercedes all other aspects in my
mind. The New York, New York type is very good, and I would definitely order it
again. Our preference for our regular coffee is a strong, robust flavor just
short of espresso (We travel in Europe, so we enjoy espresso also). Keep up the
good work."
Carl Howard

"Wow! Fast service. Just as the last beans were
disappearing into the grinder the doorbell rings and there is the DHL person
with my freshly roasted coffee. She said that smells good, is it coffee? Yes,
and boy it got here fast considering I only ordered it Sunday and I had it sent
ground. Your coffee is great, DHL is fast, I always try to use them. Keep up
the good work and thanks for saving me from have to put on something other than
U of U sweat pants (GO UTES) and drive down to Starbucks and buy some beans to
tide me over. To be truthful my husband sends me to the local coffee drive thru
since he at age 83 thinks Starbucks and Walmart want to take over the world and
we should never shop there. Thanks again for saving the day."

John Alcorn

————————————————————————————————————————
"Wonderful espresso, fantastic flavor and crema.
(Espresso Authentico) We knew right away we were going to love these beans
because they were not too oily. So often Espresso beans are "greasy",
and very difficult to persuade into the burr grinder that is built into our
superautomatic machine. We are newbies, only had a superauotmatic for 7 months.
We have been experimenting with countless number of gourmet espresso beans in
all price ranges, this one has them all beat even the 45$ lb bags were put to
shame! Fantastic flavor & aroma and the perfect non bitter aftertaste. So
smooth, and creamy, husband is totally into latte', but I have really enjoyed
this without the foam fix.."
Bill and Angela Turner
Yukon, Oklahoma
————————————————————————————————————————
"We like the "dry" espresso beans that you
have, like Lavazza, as opposed to the "oily" roasts as they do not
clog our grinder and leave oils behind. We appreciate the highest quality beans
and the very freshest roast. The zip lock feature on your bags is not working
well for us. It is difficult to "re-zip." It would be nice to have a
feature with a "real" zipper that pulls over more like the more
expensive zip-lock bags...would be worth it to us. Thanks very much."
Kathryn Masaryk

"Making a cup of java to me deserves the same
attention to detail as you'd give to anything else --the freshest ingredients,
taking your time, knowing and understanding your ingredients. Seems foolish to
me to spend your time and hard earned money on something you don't really
enjoy. I'd rather have a little of something wonderful than a ton of something
tolerable. Now I just need to hone my skills so as not to waste the wonderful
bean, so then I can fully enjoy the reward waiting there in the cup. Wish me luck!"

"This is my first order. The ordering and receiving
process was smooth and on the projected time. The quality of the product was
good. It was truly fresh as advertised. I started with an exotic coffee,
Jamaican Blue. I look forward to further purchases as well as the forum to
expand my coffee drinking pleasure. One thing that impressed me immediately was
the professionalism of your website. I would like to see coffees with ratings,
similar to that in wine ratings. It is fun to see how people rate certain coffees
and then compare with ones own rating. Perhaps this is done and I haven't
stumbled upon it yet. So far, I like what I have found."

Constant Cravings Blend: "This is a very drinkable, dark-roasted coffee.
It seems to mellow a bit after the first few sips. The ending is quite smooth,
with no aftertaste. This coffee is great by itself, but would also lend itself
well to various coffee "drinks". Service has been exemplary since I
became a customer. All orders have been accurate and very promptly delivered.
Well done."
Nila Slaughter
Vienna, Virginia
Constant Cravings Blend: "Big, bold, rich, smoky, smooth, INCREDIBLE
FLAVOR! Heavenly Aroma. Congratulations the "name" says it all. Upon
opening the bag (which contained our usual "espresso authentico"
& "sumatran") The aroma of the "constant cravings" is
so desirable and intense, my wife responded by saying, "It makes me want a
cup of coffee" (she is a total espresso drinker) and that at 4 'o' clock
in the afternoon. Being one who enjoys the strong, dark beans, this blend is
delightful. No, more than delightful, it is actually the only other sample I've
tried that I would buy. I liked the smooth jazz a lot, but this is the best
yet. I am continually astounded in the delivery time and service. How I can
order it one day, and 24 hours later, from MN to GA it be in my hand? Amazing.
Since finding you almost a year ago, we have bought no where else! Mega Kudo's
and Jumbo Booyah's - I give it a 90 on the cupping form score."

"This is the first bag of Smooth Jazz I've ordered. It
is wonderful and I am very pleased with the coffee. I do believe that I prefer
the coffee from Guatemala even better. I'm not completely sure why, but my
first instinct is that the Guatemalan is a bit toward the mild side, yet
maintains a lot of flavor. Still, I would order Smooth Jazz again
anytime."

"I find myself comparing you to my other sources shown
above as well as Sweet Maria's, Terroir, and Stumptown. So far so good.
Especially when price is considered. I guess i expect their coffee to be better
since it is more expensive. It is all fresh roasted just like yours. Maybe it
is just that their websites provide elaborate descriptions of their sources,
roasting process, and travels around the world. No wonder their coffee is more
expensive."

"The Kenya AA is the first sample I have tried from
you. The smell of the beans when I opened the bag was incredible. For me, part
of the enjoyment of coffee is in the smell; Kenya AA delivered. I was also very
impressed by the taste. It was strong enough for me to enjoy, but mild enough
not to be bitter with a bite. I plan to order more.

"I have been buying my coffee beans through a co-op I
belong to. I thought the prices were a bit high, but I also thought that the
quality of coffee was very good. After I tried a few of your beans and blends,
honestly, there is no comparison!! I felt that I would finish the five pound
bag of coffee that I ordered before from the co-op just to use it up but
honestly, the good taste of your blends stayed in my memory and I was sooooo
glad to use the last of my old coffee up and today I pick up the Specialty Java
blend, (Yea)...and will always buy from you from now on!! Thanks for the best
coffee!!"

I just got my shipment of the Espresso Italiano. I opened the bag, sniffed the
contents and it was as if the essence of heaven had been released upon my
senses. I actually gasped! Then I pulled my morning double shot. The thick
syrupy golden liquid danced across my tongue like that of a ballroom dancer gliding
gracefully and across the floor. Then it was gone. Oh, this can't be the end I
thought, I had another and was in heaven once more. THANK YOU!

that the coffee is roasted and shipped on the same day. This is very important

notice a huge difference in the flavor - the freshness is so obvious! We loved
the Rock' N Java and re-ordered that, but will try others and no doubt find
other coffee's we will love! The shipping right to our door is AWESOME!! It

to Jamaica 20 years ago but never afforded ourself the luxury of purchase here
in the states due to the cost. I purchased this coffee from Specialty Java to
celebrate a 29th Anniversary because your cost, freshness, delivery were
unbeatable and I will highly recommend you to other "Coffee Snobs"
like ourselves."

"We got the espresso machine a few months back and
have been getting Starbucks but wanted organic which they do not have organic
decaf espresso beans. You guys do and at a great price! Plus your website is so
helpful seeing as how we are starting to learn about the espresso experience.
So we tried a straight shot of Starbucks versus your organic decaf espresso.
I'm pretty sure angels were singing. What I noticed was that Starbucks was very
bitter and had a horrible bite. Yours was very smooth and rich. I never really
noticed before because I also drink the espresso as a soy latte. Now my lattes
are fabulous and I always look forward to the weekends because then I have time
to have two instead of one. I will never buy anything else. Thank you so
much."
Jennifer Budd

"I like that I could get whole bean samples at a
reasonable price. Other coffee web sites didn't offer whole bean samples or you
had to buy a package deal that was coffee that I didn't want. So far the coffee
that you sent me I like. I've tried 3 of the 5 samples."

brew my coffee one cup at a time with a manual drip cone and I find myself
having an second cup after work in the afternoon because it tastes so great. I
don't need fancy packaging or cute names for my coffee. An accurate
description, fresh roasting, fair price and fast shipping is what need and what
I get from you."

and was very impressed with the flavor so I decided to order some for my home.
This first order has exceeded my expectations! I am amazed at how much better
the coffee tastes for approximately the same price as my local supermarket's
"gourmet blend". I will be ordering more when this current batch is

"My daughter was a barista during her college years at
a locally owned (not a chain) coffee shop that buys and roasts there beans.
That's when I became a spoiled rotten coffee drinker. The problem is, there
beans can run up to $25 dollars a pound. After just one purchase I am totally
sold on you guys. I've tried two other online companies but you're beans are
the freshest I've found and I'm done searching. I look forward to trying
several of your varieties and with time becoming one of your loyal costumers."

"We sent coffee as a gift. They said they went to
their mailbox to find it permeated with the smell of coffee and that they had
gotten a letter from the church and it smelled wonderful and they thought they
had sprayed it with something special because it smelled like coffee. They then
saw the package of coffee. They said it smelled fresh. These particular people
love coffee so much that they made a homemade coffee pot out of a coffee can
and tuna cans in the bottom of the grand canyon so that they could make coffee
over the campfire. So sending coffee in the mail was a wonderful gift to them.
I really like that you have gift tags because every time they fix their coffee,
they think of us. Thanks so much!!"

"Your coffee has very good quality. I was stationed in
Hawaii for 3 years and I enjoyed the taste of 100% Kona Coffee. Every since I
was transferred to California I have not been able to find good Kona Coffee.
Well while I am deployment I have to order my coffee through the internet.
Normally I do not do that because I love good quality coffee. Well my Chief
ordered from you and I think it is a very good quality coffee you produce.
Thanks and I plan on ordering from you again."

"The coffee tastes good even though it is not as dark
and shiny like I expect french roast to be. The beans aren't all the same
color. Some dark some light. But it still taste good and robust. Just not like
the real dark french roast I'm used to."
Dale Slyngstad

"We recently gave beans to our daughter in Key Largo

"I was not surprised to find the beans are NOT oily...
perfectly roasted, IMHO. I grind in my Gaggia MDF at about 8, with a very light
tamp in the portafilter. For the first time in quite a while, I am getting
crema most of the time. I am very pleased with the coffee. The taste, balance,
aroma, and aftertaste are all very good. The coffee beans arrived freshly
roasted and in appropriate packaging. In total, I am happy that I stumbled upon
Specialty Java and very glad that I took a chance and ordered my first of many
bags of your coffee."

We have not opened the Sumatra yet I realize now that I ordered more than I

Thank you very much!”
Jennie Dinneen

"I can only offer high marks and praise for your
product. I could tell the beans were fresh roasted because I broke the 5 pound
bag down into 1 pounders and vacuum sealed them. After a few days I went to
open a new package and the vacuum was gone. A sure indication that the beans
were fresh roasted because they were still releasing gases."
Arthur McLeran
Red Wing, Minnesota
————————————————————————————————————————
"We are happy with the quality and freshness of the

future."

Lisa Booth

"We love your coffee beans! We have tried other
companies on line...and you have been the best so far. The large package sizes
are very convenient! I wish that we could receive more free samples...(just
enough to try...like 1 or 2 cups of coffee). I think that would increase
sales....when you try new beans that you like through the tiny samples...you
will end up ordering them most likely. At least we would. Thank you for your
excellent service!! Have a great day!"

"Wow! I placed my order at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday and
had the coffee beans in my hands before noon on Friday. That's truly
outstanding for an out of state order! As the delivery man handed the package
to me, he stated that he almost hesitated to let the order get out of his truck
because it looked so good. I immediately made brewed a fresh cup - a little
hesitant of ordering the dark roast beans, but the Smooth Jazz decaf was and is
terrific. I'm looking forward to enjoying every cup and have already told friends
about the quality and amazing service of your company. Thank you.
Ken Rensink
New Sharon, Iowa
————————————————————————————————————————
"This is the first time I have ordered coffee beans to
be roasted just for me. WOW! I am so enjoying my fresh roasted beans a mixture
of French Roast and Mocha Java. I have had so much fun grinding enough beans so
make several pots of coffee and taking them with me when I go to visit my best
friend and the news office I just retired from. You should have heard the
comments from my friends. They were so impressed (as I) they wanted to know all
about purchasing fresh beans; how to where etc. Will I order again? You bet!!
Thank you for being there when I wasn't able to fine Mocha Java on the store
shelves anymore; that is why I made the choice to order through
SpecialtyJava.com. Now, you will be my supplier as I certainly enjoy my fresh
roasted coffee each morning."

"Recently received my DeLonghi Magnifica
espresso-cappuccino maker and tried your Italian Espresso. This is as good as
it gets. There is nothing finer... the crema, flavor and freshness is simply
amazing. I would recommend this over Starbucks, Tullys and Peets all day long.
You must try this coffee with a good machine like the DeLonghi or Jura
Capresso. I'm sold and will never turn back. This is even better than the Illy
espresso beans supplied with the machine. All I can say is "WOW" and
"thank you" for your superior product and excellent service."

like that!)"

York New York blend (and our drip coffee maker) after three days. Those stale
pods must have been pre-packaged months before. They can't begin to compare
with your rich, fresh roasted blends! Keep doing what you're doing. (We will
never stray again!)"

"A very impressive first order. The coffee is

"I'm trying 2oz samplers one day at a time. So far, so
good. It's very nice to be able to have a small amount to try instead of a
large bag that might be not to my liking. It's been hard finding anyone out
there that has what I think is a good coffee. Your the first one after Gevalia
that I have found to have quality that I consider excellent. I don't understand
what people see in Starbucks. There is nothing better than fresh beans, burr
ground when you need it. Thanks for a very nice product."

"I have been looking for a coffee to replace Starbucks
for about a year and a half now. They seems to have changed their house blend
to house bland. I enjoy coffee that that taste like coffee, rich, smooth and
flavorful and I found it in your organic smooth jazz. Thank you so much for
finally giving me a cup of coffee I can look forward to!!! KEEP PRODUCING
ORGANIC SMOOTH JAZZ AND I'LL BE A HAPPY LONGTIME CUSTOMER!"

"I am in coffee heaven. I was referred to your site
from a neighbor friend, and I am so happy. Your coffee rocks and I love that
you make it as fresh as possible by roasting right before shipping. Thanks
again!"

It was a pleasure to find your site and your coffee. I generally prefer the
true Italian model of medium roasted beans, long on crema, short on bitterness.
(Starbucks isn't really even coffee, particularly as they pour off the crema
when transferring from 1 cup to the next!) Your coffees obviously aim for the
truer authentic roast style and I enjoyed their freshness."

"Bye bye Starbucks, I have found a new source for
fresh coffee. Tastes better and I only have to go to the mailbox to get it.
Thanks."

"We were reluctant to buy coffee online, but now we
know how FRESH roasted coffee should taste. It really is "good to the last
drop". So long Starbucks; we no longer have to leave home to get a great
cup of coffee thanks to Specialty Java!"
