Hi Nicbiz. I've been purchasing beans from Peets Coffees and Teas for over 25 years. Their product IMHO tastes better than Starbucks'. It's also Mr. Peet who helped to start Starbucks - I might add. You might consider becoming a Peets franchise.
No, I am not a Peets representative but just a very satisfied customer of their product. Somewhere in the Chef Talk forum I posted a recipe for Middle Eastern Style Coffee usings Peets Arabian Moccha Sanani beans brewed in an authentic ibrik. The best! Check it out.
All the best of luck with your endeavor.
