We had some excitement at work yesterday because CNBC sent a film crew to shoot us for an upcoming feature!

The camera crew was actually really fun to work with. They took turns posing for their own photos in front of our burlaps and coffee machinery. One of the cameramen joking said that this was the first “coffee break” he has had in years!” They we so impressed with us that they purchased coffee to take home with them.

Hello everybody!

So, I’m sure you guys have heard about the all out brawl that’s going on in the coffee industry right now. McDonald’s, Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts have all waged large scale campaigns to position themselves as the industry’s leader.

As some of you may know Coffee Bean Direct is now five-years-old. This past Friday we celebrated our observed start-up date; no one really knows the exact date of CBD’s start. Legend has it that in late April of 2004 CBD launched its first site, which only offered coffee in 25lb bags (Could you imagine a Coffee Bean Direct without 1lb, 5lb and burlap bags… scary!). Shortly after that the site was taken down for a couple weeks for “retooling.” The Site re-launched June 7th 2004, a date that to this day remains our observed birthday! So, happy birthday Coffee Bean Direct, we are looking forward to many more!

I hope you enjoyed that brief trip down memory lane… keep your eye out for our “next generation” CBD website, which is due in 6-8 months!
