I do hope it's OK to post this here, and I will add a disclaimer that I am in NO WAY a shill- I have no interest in this company (except as a faithful consumer of their products) and stand to gain nothing except some good vibes for spreading the word; when you love something, though, you want to share it with others that might appreciate it!

I was thinking about it, and the only thing I enjoy as much as vaping is coffee; some would call me a coffee snob, I fancy myself a connoisseur. Sometimes, I enjoy flavored coffee. I was vaping Bananas Foster this morning, and I got a strong craving for Bananas Foster coffee, as it's been some time since I had some... then it occurred to me that I might share my favorite coffee vendor with my fellow Tasty Vapor forum members.

I've been ordering from Coffee AM for about a decade now. Their primary business is online and they do a lot of wholesale to mom n' pop coffee shops (I found out about them by working at one ever so long ago). I am very lucky in that they are local, so not only do I get the positivity from supporting local business, but in a pinch Husband can pick our order up instead of waiting for UPS shipping.

There are several parallels between both vendors, one being quality. Much like Tasty Vapor, they roast all orders as received, meaning my coffee is never sitting around in some distribution warehouse biding time until it's delivered to the store, where it will sit in the back room until stock is rotated, and it is placed on the shelves until... well, you get the idea- same principle as liquids.

Another parallel is value (ie good quality at a good price); we've compared costs and it's cheaper than store brands or Starbucks, even with shipping (if you consider the fact that most store brands are now sold at 12oz and not a 16oz pound). They also include a 1/2 pound sample with every order (a different selection every week, you can choose whole bean or ground); I often pass these along to friends or bring them to work to share.

My standard is Sumatra Black Satin. We order whole bean and grind it fresh by the pot.

Their flavors? Amazing, and I'm thinking about ordering a couple to pair with my Tasty Vapor flavors, ie Bananas Foster with Bananas Foster, Cinnamon Viennese with Atomic Fireball, Blueberry Cream with Blueberry Cheesecake, etc. I think you get my point.

Much respect to Tasty Vapor, and I hope this wasn't too 'off topic' to post here; if so, please just let me know.

Dunkin Donuts whole bean...All the goodness at half the price.

I used to drink that stuff religiously until I started my CoffeeAM addiction! Half N Half, no sugar. IMHO, their flavors are atrocious. I am looking forward to their iced coffee which is a personal summer treat!

I still visit D&D when out and about; I haven't been to a Starbucks since I witnessed two men being questioned and physically searched by 5 police after one of their cashiers called the cops on them for smoking cigars on the patio. The place was next door to a cigar shop. I digress...

Perhaps part of the value is that with our consumption, Husband orders the bulk 5lb bags. 5lb of Sumatra Black Satin at $37 equals $7.40/lb. Here, D&D is at $7.99/lb. No brainer for us. We also don't consume carbonated beverages or drink much liquor if at all, so we weigh that as a factor.

Cost was the secondary point, the main point I wanted to share was the amazing flavors they offer and that I thought it would be nifty to pair them with TV flavors for a bit of indulgence, for those that also enjoy coffee.

Some people prefer fine wine, I favor the mean liquid bean!
