Client Testimonials
Helen K.
Small Business Owner
"I first received a small sample of ShortD’s fresh ground coffee as a gift back in December, while it was delicious and had a wonderful taste I prefer a darker roast personally. So I contacted Dawnn at ShortD’s and she was super helpful, she gave me a sample of ShortD’s darker roast and WOW it was amazing, full of body, aromatics and a super smooth finish! I have to say my husband prefers a lighter roast and I prefer darker and I think we’d agree that ShortD’s can deliver on both."

“After visiting ShortD's at several local events I finally decided to give a full pound a try. This is some of the best coffee I have ever tasted. Freshly roasted with a soft smooth flavor that is almost too easy to drink! Dawnn is diligent about communicating when the roasting will be performed and then delivers two days later in meticulously prepared packaging that includes a, "Born on" date to let you know when your coffee was roasted, and an info card detailing the best time to enjoy your coffee!”

"This coffee is one of the only that I can drink black! The flavors are bold and complex, yet still smooth!"

"You may think the crown jewel of our coffee bar is the cafe grade machine- but don't be fooled, the real star of the show are the phenomenal, fresh, roasted to perfection, ShortD's beans! Even the Linea Mini can't shine without good beans- and everybody who knows me knows I can't shine without good coffee! Dawnn is THE BEST and I'm always happy to give her my business. Especially in these crazy times of quarantine it's so amazing to have delicious coffee delivered to my door. The service you provide is so enormously valuable to us! Thanks, ShortD's- we're forever customers!"

"The Colombian lite roasted beans we received from ShortD’s is a smooth blend and simply delicious. We have served it to our guests and received high praise.
We highly recommend you try some!!!"

Former Pro Roaster
"Stop drinking that stale, burnt "coffee" sold at chains and grocery stores-- we have a Firestone roaster who home-delivers the good stuff at a better price! ShortD's has won me over with its easy ordering, personable service, home delivery and (most importantly) its delectable, fresh-roasted coffee. As a former pro roaster, I feel qualified to assert that their product IS the good stuff."
