I don't do much fresh roasted beans. Yea I'm lazy...The only ones I've had so far are Killer Beanz and they're waaaay dark and strong. I wish he made a lighter roast and I'd drink them more often.
Bah. Roast em yourself. Twenty minutes a week (if that), and you've got great coffee roasted to the level YOU like.
That being said, if you can't find a local roaster, I hear these guys are pretty good: http://intelligentsiacoffee.com/store/coffee

Luckily this one is a bit lighter on the pocketbook, until you get into espresso.
Then you're screwed. You end up spending nights trying to figure out the best grind, tamp pressure, and blend.
As for the women-folk:
One sip of home roasted coffee and the girlfriend said
"You can do whatever you want and spend whatever on cigars, if you keep supplying me with this coffee."
It's like a drug, and I've got her hooked. She gets pissed wen I go on business trips and forget to roast enough.
Sorry for the threadkjack, back to the topic:
http://www.coffeeemergency.com/ is also well regarded, especially for their espresso blends.

I placed my first order with Molokai Coffee company last week. A local fishwrap recommended them as a cheaper alternative to Kona, but the same Hawaiian characteristics. I've finished my first 1/2 lb and it was pretty good, but no way as tasty as 100% Kona peaberry.
