Banana is one flavor I never would have taken seriously in coffee-just like pineapple on pizza. Much to my surprise, it was great! Now that I think about it, coffee and bananas are both tropical, so the combination makes me think of palm trees and the beach. So when you can't have a Margarita, try this (Tropical Banana Sensation Coffee)!

We received your coffee yesterday in the mail and
tried it this morning and we both LOVE IT!!! Your decaf coffee tastes AMAZING!!!
Sincerely,
-Kerry & Patty Salyer, Oak Hills, California
What I loved about it (Saratoga Espresso Supremo) was its strength and lack of bitterness, particularly for an espresso. I would call it robust and yet smooth.
-Norman Miller, Manhattan, NY
....can I buy some of that dark (Saratoga Espresso Supremo) that would be great morning coffee on a regular basis. Take care!
-Sue Whitney, Saratoga Springs, NY
I thought your coffee (Saratoga Signature) was great. I thought is was smooth and well-balanced and full of good coffee flavor without going overboard. In general, I like a med-dark roast that is well-balanced and doesn't irritate the back of my mouth like Starbuck's can.
-Thom Siragusa, Porters Corners, NY
I don't usually like flavored coffees but these were different. I really liked the [Saratoga Signature] it was rich and yummy.
-Alison Siragusa, Porters Corners, NY
I am a regular coffee drinker and I have to say that the two different types of coffee you served us were some of the best I have ever had.
The (Saratoga Signature) tasted so rich and smelled so great that I can still remember how it tasted. It didn't have the after taste usually associated with strong coffee. I wanted to have more and more.
I am normally not a fan of flavored coffee but your Tropical Banana Sensation coffee had to be the best I have ever had. The flavor was mixed in the rich taste of the coffee and it smelled and tasted great.
BTW I really did like your coffee!! Would you be able to send me some. How can I order it?
Take care,
-Mehrdad Koohian, California
Michele, the coffee is excellent. Best of luck with your business, & I look forward to buying coffee from you in the future!
-Smiles, Jeannie Curvo, Cambridge, NY
Everyone in my office commented on the wonderful aroma of the Vanilla Buttercream Decadence blend....and these are avowed "just coffee...no fancy stuff" coffee drinkers.
Thanks again for the sample!

Michele, I just received your sample of Hawaiian Sunshine Kona Blend coffee yesterday and brewed it this morning. The coffee has a bold pleasing flavor, much like the Starbucks Gold Coast Roast, very smooth and enjoyable. Unlike the Starbuck's roast, your beans had no bitter aftertaste. I don't want to go overboard here, but I want you to know that these beans produce a great tasting cup of coffee. I sat out on my front porch with my dog and reflected on the week as I finished a highly drinkable mug of your brew.
Anyway, enough of my editorializing... I wish you the best in your business endeavors and want to thank you for including me as one of your select customers.

Michele, I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I appreciate your customer focused attitude. Unfortunately, it is truly a rarity in this day and age. Thanks again for your great tasting coffee and your terrific service! On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest, I rate your coffee and customer service a 12. Best Regards,
-“J”, Georgia
Hi, Yes I got the coffee; and it was SUPER. You can expect to hear from Me again soon; 'cause that was GOOOOOOOOD Coffee.
-James, Missouri
Hi Michele,
Yes we did receive the coffee (Saratoga Espresso Supremo) and Jonathan and I are enjoying it right now! It is flavorful yet not bitter. Thanks for giving us a sample.
-Sarah Nichols, Saratoga Springs, NY
Michele: Ken made the Hawaiian Sunshine Kona this morning....YUMMY!! It is so smooth and wonderful. He is an expert when it comes to coffee. So YES...a big thumbs UP!!!
Thank you....more orders to come when this is finito.
Thanks for the info on the espresso machine...we'll check it out!
-Jodi Korotkin, Saratoga Springs, NY
As an owner of a gourmet coffee shop for some years, I have a VERY keen palette when it comes to coffee.
This is THE FINEST coffee I've had shipped to me. The only better I've had was when I personally sat at a small-batch roaster and watched the process; and got to sample the product immediately after.
I received the Saratoga Signature and Saratoga Espresso Supremo.
The Signature is a very sturdy Arabica, possessing lingering body without the accompanying bitterness. I've found that a coarse grind in a slightly higher than normal volume produces a cup of coffee that competes with the likes of Jamaica Blue and Kona.
As for the Espresso Supremo, I've not had the opportunity to test it with a proper espresso machine. But I did test it with my horrible little home espresso machine and I was quite surprised! That thing has never produced a proper crema. But with these beans it did. Surprising, to say the least!
Thanks much for the rush order. I'll definitely be ordering on a regular basis!

Michele,
I'm sitting here digging the hell out of your Saratoga Signature blend. I just received the samples you sent and had a heck of a time deciding which to brew up first.
You've undoubtedly been told this a time or two, but your coffee beats the hell out of Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, and even Coffee Beanery. Really excellent.
Keep up the good work. As soon as I've tried all the samples, I'll be ordering a couple of pounds.
Take Care,
-Rich Snyder, New Jersey
P.S....love your hair.
Hi Michele,
Again, sorry for the late response. I've been on the road a little longer than usual this time around. Thanks so much for the "bonus"! I've travelled all over this country and have tried all kinds of coffee (believe it or not, some of the truck-stop brands are pretty good), and I have to honestly say that Saratoga [Roasters] coffee is the best. Yes, please do use my comments...glad you like them.
Take care,
-Rich Snyder, NJ
The Saratoga Signature Coffee was very good - the pouch made 4 cups. (Actually 2 full mugs!) I had 1 mug this morning and one tonight. Pretty strong but no acidy after taste. I like it. I placed Saratoga Roasters Coffee on my Wish List to the family (I said any flavor - but not decaf)
-Jeff Friedman, Syracuse, NY
Thanks for the great coffee. I brewed it as soon as it arrived...haven't had a great cup of coffee like that in years, let alone finding coconut flavor! Thank you.
-Russell Toye, Oakland, Maine
I could smell the coffee when I opened my mailbox! This coffee is wonderful! I've emailed all my coffee drinking family and friends to give them your website!
-LaShawna Stewart, Georgia
Just got the "Elephant" coffee and even though I could go on and on about it, I'll sum it up in one word....OUTSTANDING!
A great pick on your part. If this coffee were stock, it'd go through the roof.
Thanks,
-Rich Snyder, New Jersey
Got my "elephant beans" and the other freebee's that came with it. Thanks. Couldn't wait to grind me up a pot. Well.......let me tell you what, I believe I am "drinking coffee" now!!!!! I used to be a coffee drinker, but now I'm drinking coffee!!! So smooth and flavorful...no bitterness whatsoever (is that a word??). A nice birthday present to me!!! Thanks. WIll check out the Melitta coffee makers. Take care.
-Mike (Himsey) in the Smokies!!
The coffee is absolutely wonderful!!! I think I like it so much because it has a hint of a naturally sweet flavor. Maybe it is because it is from G'la.
-Rachel Ellis, North Carolina
The (Cinnamon Danish Coffee) must be from Colombia as it is more addictive than crack cocaine! The (Heavenly Hazelnut Coffee) is *#@!^* incredible!
-Jed Bauman, Studio City, California
.......the (Adirondack Blueberry Cream Coffee) is excellent. You will love it.
-Lisa Auerbach, Bayside, New York
Just wanted you to know the coffee arrived safe and sound - already opened both flavors and LOVE them!!!!!!! I'm bringing some coffee samples to work so you can have more satisfied customers! I'm a teacher - many staff looking forward to trying Saratoga Roasters!
-Carol Kriegel, Ardsley, New York
Received the coffee yesterday. We tried it this morning at my mother's day brunch and it was outstanding!! I would be honored to be quoted on your testimonial page! Everyone who was at my house today commented on how delicious it was :)
-Robin Portnoy, Long Island, New York
I am waiting for the morning to try the coffees. I just wanted to let you know that they arrived safely and smell divine- even in the bags. I am sure my hubby will be thrilled to try one and I will let him pick, but I am secretly hoping it's the blueberry or the cinnamon danish as they both smell heavenly! The best thing I did was ordering 4 types so I don't have to wonder which one I should have gotten.
Thanks for the fast and personal service and for the samples as well!
-Fran Gross Katzenellenbogen, Houston, Texas
I just had to email you today and let you know that I decided to suffer through the pain in my shoulder to go online and order your coffee!! A few days ago I used the last of the bag I purchased while in Saratoga Springs and since then I have dumped countless cups of coffee down the sink. I just couldn't wait any longer to place an order. Like I told you on the phone this morning Saratoga Roasters is absolutely the best coffee on earth!!! Nothing can top the wonderful flavor! I am spoiled for life! I can't wait for my order to arrive!!!! Thank you so much!
-Bernadine Inghram , Allentown, PA
Looking forward to waking up with you in the morning.
-Michael White, Oyster Bay, New York
I just wanted to say thanks! The coffee is great!
I really love the Saratoga Signature, the time you took to perfect it was time extremely well spent. I had it in a french press this past weekend and it was great. I think I put a little too much of it in, but it was still amazing. I'm drinking it this morning from my drip machine and I absolutely love it.
I brought the banana over to a family get together and they were all a little nervous about it, but (it) ended up being a hit. I really liked it too. I can't wait to order more!
Thank you again!
