- I've tried Gevalia and their coffee isn't bad, though I think it is
- rather overpriced for what you actually get. I've found better service
- from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (in the middle of nowhere, Vermont),
- who offer regular (weekly bi-weekly, every third week, monthly, you get
- the idea) delivers of as little as one pound of coffe (with quite a
- variety to choose from). They have an 800 number (it's 800-223-6768 the
- last I knew) and you might want to give 'em a try. (Note: I'm not
- connected to them in any way.)
