Montana Coffee Traders - Whitefish, Montana - coffeetraders.com

Montana Coffee Traders is one of those companies I’ve had my eye on for a while. I am fond of those coffee places that try to make themselves into a one stop shop. They stock their shelves with every type of coffee imaginable, leaving their customers no choice other than to shop with them. I am disappointed that I have yet to hear from them despite numerous attempts to make contact. Normally I don’t get bent out of shape about such things, but Montana Coffee Traders is different. I want them to contact me and I want us to be friends.

My fondness for Montana is nothing new. I mentioned that in a previous review for another roaster located in that great state. I have not had the opportunity to try as many types of Montana coffee as I would like. Don’t quote me on that though. I make friends in the coffee world all the time and chances are a few of these contacts are from Montana. I’m not satisfied until I have bonds with Montana coffee companies on which I can depend. I want to be a part of what’s going on up there.

Back to Montana Coffee Traders. Outside of their large product selection, I admired the reasonable prices they charge for most of their coffees. Anyone who loves specialty coffee can tell you that it doesn’t come cheap. For a company to have reasonable prices on their coffees, it sets the bar for entry much lower and allows people to get into a world that's sure to turn their perceptions of coffee on their head. Some of their coffees run the price of your average brick of the good stuff; however, you will find that a majority of their inventory does not pack a wallop on your wallet.

As I attempted to get a better sense of what Montana Coffee Traders was all about, I checked out their Facebook page and read their reviews. I was impressed with how many people sang their praises. The lukewarm reviews that were there seemed to come from people with an ax to grind rather than anyone with a legitimate grievance. I like it when the loyalty a company has for its customers is reflected in what its customers have to say about it.

I hope to hear from Montana Coffee Traders soon and we can set something up. I am a big fan before I have ever even tried their coffee.
