Coffee by the Roast

So good. The best coffee. I'm a huge coffee snob, I have all the best gadgets to improve my morning coffees. Finding out about Coffee by the Roast was another game changer that took my coffee to the next level. I love their coffee. I can finally have coffee shop level coffee every day. They also have excellent customer service and a great selection.

I usually don't leave reviews but this place deserves one! The very first time I ordered my first batch of coffee beans from Coffee by the Roast, immediately I was able to pick up the difference from all those other brands. If you live nearby and want fresh coffee this is definitely the place. I placed a few orders and have never been disappointment and will continue to buy my coffee here!

Paul and Carrie, by far, provide the best coffee in the Country. I have had coffee from the NE—SW, SE, NW, SW, etc. No one can match their selection, and they roast the beans perfectly; Paul has the magic touch.

You will not find better quality coffee anywhere in the continental US.

The world has master chefs
The world has master brewers
The world needs this roaster to be awarded as a master roaster. (If there isn’t an award there should be)
He has dedicated his long life to the art and it shows . His kind lovely wife does the buying and you can almost see her back lit surrounded by birds and animals. When searching for a good roast look no further but when you search find out the history of the guy who is roasting . Other roasters practice on your dime . This guys is real and his dedication shows.

Gooooooooood Coffee Right Here!

If you are looking for a mass produced cup of coffee, look somewhere else. If you are looking for the best cup of coffee you have ever had in your life, right at your house, you need to order your beans from Coffee by the Roast. I first had coffee roasted by Coffee by the Roast at Birdie’s Cafe in Libertyville. I was so impressed with my first few cups of espresso that I ordered my first set of beans nearly two years ago. Ever since, Coffee by the Roast has been my go-to spot for all my coffee beans. I have not bought anywhere else for two whole years. They have never disappointed me. They always have unique beans to try and I love that I can experiment with different roasting temperatures, single-source beans, and blends. I have also really enjoyed getting a few single sources and trying different proportions at home. The coffee these beans produce has been of exceptional quality. Paul and Carrie really know their roasting. Most recently, I asked for my roast to be removed just after the first crack. Honestly, I was expecting Paul to tell me that they could not do that for me. But they were very happy to oblige my seemingly random request. And let me tell you, the coffee those beans produced WAS AMAZING!!! I am incredibly thankful to have a local roaster that can do small batches so I can continue to experiment with different flavors. Not only do I love supporting a business in the community where I live and supporting the economy of North Chicago through them, but their coffee is just SO DARN GOOD! I can’t wait for my next roast and to continue supporting this business for many years to come.

They were out of the Kenya AA that I normally use. So I stepped up to the Kenya Kiambu AA plus. All I can say is wow, this coffee is amazing. The smoothness of it in your mouth in the morning let’s you know why you drink coffee.

Fantastic coffee. Skilled roasting. Excellent staff. Highly recommended.

I've ordered coffees online and other small fresh roasters. I adore this place and I'm on order #2. Shipping and roasting is quick and professional. They even drew me a little stick figure at request in the order notes. Great company and product. I love the roast recommendations and unique beans and flavors.

My parents who purchase their coffee from their storefront turned me into it. Now I order online and have it shipped to me in Virginia. Thank you for roasting some really good coffee!’

I love this company and their coffee! Easy to order, always shipped immediately, and great customer service should you encounter a rare problem. They have a great variety of coffees including organic. I love picking out new varieties of beans and roasting techniques according to the season. They are the most reliable coffee bean supplier I have ever tried.

Over the years I have bought coffee from many roasters, especially the big promoters. Tired of inconsistent beans and roast levels I found perfection. The roast is always perfect and available at different levels, The beans full flavored and packaged and shipped on the day of the roast. Try the Bali, Kenyan AA, and the best Mexican in 35 yrs.

If you're reading this, you are one of the lucky ones who have discovered this wonderful source for the freshest and best coffee ever! The coffee you choose (and there are so many wonderful options to choose from—and if its overwhelming, Carrie is wonderful at helping you find what's right for you) will be roasted and sent out to you the same day, for you to brew and enjoy a couple of days later. So... great beans, great choices, unbeatable freshness and the most amazing personal service. I have found my coffee, and I think you have too!!

If you are looking for the freshest coffee you can order online than this is the place. I was sick of getting coffee at the supermarket or even my local coffee shop and it having no flavor or much taste to it. I researched and found that you need to have fresh roasted coffee to get the best flavor. I have been ordering from Coffee by the Roast for over 6 months now and my wife and I absolutely love it. They have a fantastic selection of coffee from all over the world. Once ordered they pretty much roast it the same day and you receive it 2 days later. They even write the roasted date on the bag so that you can see when it was roasted. Fresh roasted coffee tastes phenomenal. You will not regret ordering from Coffee by the Roast !!

Best doggone roasted coffee you'll get anywhere. If you've never had fresh roasted coffee to order, then you are missing out. You must try their coffee.
