I fortunately have many local roasters in my area, but I found one within walking distance and it isn’t stupid expensive (looking at you George Howell, delicious but pricey). And they give me $1 off since I bring my own containers so I don’t need a bag. Del’s Coffee in Waltham if anyone is in the area!

    There’s nothing better!

    I live in a tiny town in Brittany, France and have a great roaster here called Cafés Celtik. They opened about five years ago, and they’re doing pretty well, selling to supermarkets and so on.

    Torrefaction (roasting) is growing in France, but coffee making not so much. Not a lot of people in France, even cafés, care about things like roasting dates. So you really have to go in to their shop to buy.

    Also check out Bourbon d’Ansel and Café 1802. About 1/3 the price of Paris roasters. Speaking of stupid expensive.
