yeah.....
Well, I think that the coop pricing has spoiled me a little... and add to that, uh.. I am....er.... frugal? They seem a bit proud of their beans, considering.
I would be willing to bet that some of the green suppliers get some of their beans from GCBC and mark them up. Which is... against the user agreements.
I'm perhaps a bit too cynical for many, though.

Same coffee? Differing perspectives? or apples to oranges?

Yes some might, not Sweet Maria's. Tom travels and deals with farms direct and buys what he cups and passes on what might not be up to snuff this year. You will notice his bean description all have the farm they came from.

So in other words you are cheap, .
