Beans is a fabulous format, it sources some wonderful roasters and allows them to access a bigger market place. This means the end user (me) gets artisanal fresh roast coffee with taste profiles that are more what I want rethee then what's locally available. The delivery of the beans from Beans is always good, well packaged and eagerly anticipated. The only down side for me is the web app , personally an actual IOS app would be a smoother and easier way to deal with the 'journal' and keep a handle on the different coffees received. This is me being really picky though or just lazy ! - Use Beans , support small roasters , support small businesses -
