Magic Beans Coffee Roasters

I was only in town for a day and had no idea what to do. I stumbled into this wonderful place and my problems are suddenly no more! The friendly staff directed me to several great places to eat and drink, and they were entertaining while at it.
The coffee was good too.

Discovered the folks at MagicBean Coffee at the Lexington, KY farmers market, where they were creating delicious pourovers from two different fairtrade, organic coffees. They don’t have a retail location/​coffee shop, so the farm market is the best location to give them a try, and pick up a pound or two of their carefully roasted beans. Whether sourced from distributors dealing in Fair Trade Organic beans or from their direct purchase relationships, it’s clear that Skylar and team care about the beans, the growers and giving you the best cuppa they can! Oh, and the coffee is great with the locally baked cinnamon rolls also available at the farm market on Saturday mornings.

I have Magic Beans shipped to me regularly in Alexandria, VA. I used to get beans from a couple of places in my area that also sell fresh-​roasted, single-​origin beans — and which I thought were pretty great — until I tried Magic Beans. Now I don’t want to drink any other coffee ever. Magic Beans isn’t just better than cheap diner coffee and corporate mega-​chain coffee. Its better than anything you’ve ever had anywhere. Its worth mail-​ordering, and actually even with shipping its cheaper than some places I’ve bought from in person. I promise you, no matter how great you think your current favorite coffee place is, until you’ve had Magic Beans, you don’t even really know what coffee is supposed to taste like. And yes, I’m also talking to those of you who already buy fancy, single-​origin, coffee from hipster places that only do pour-​overs, etc. Dump out the coffee you’re drinking right now and go order some Magic Beans.

Well, I don’t want to ding the place, but my husband and I went to UK today and I looked for this place because of all the good reviews. However, we could not find it. Now that I’m back home, I’m looking up their website and see they are available at many places, one of which is West Sixth Brewing. Duh! We were right there! If I’m ever in the area, I’ll try again, but hopefully, this will prevent others from making the same mistake we did.

The coffee is amazing (and I hate coffee) and the service is beyond excellent. If there were more businesses (or even just coffee shops) like this place, the world would be a much nicer place.

Great coffee. Went above and beyond to provide me with my order and it was worth every penny. Any time I am looking to buy some whole beans I am sure I will be coming back to them.

This is the best coffee I’ve ever had. I live in the Pacific Northwest, where we have a lot of coffee options, but this lil roaster in Kentucky beats all of my locals. Reasonably priced for high-​quality, single origin, freshly roasted beans, and they ship VERY fast and VERY FRESH all over the country.

Best cup of coffee I’ve ever had, and I made it on a crappy home drip machine. Nice work and well worth the few extra cents a cup.

I don’t often buy gourmet coffee, but every once in a while I like to spend a little more to get some really good stuff. The beans I recently bought from Magic Beans Coffee Roasters arrived at my Cleveland home the day after they were roasted, and the coffee made from these beans is the best coffee I’ve ever had, bar none.
I’ve been brewing it at work and all my colleagues are impressed with the rich, smooth flavor. I will definitely be buying another batch soon.

Awesome coffee, just simply amazing. These guys are really passionate about their coffee and they are willing to pass that passion on to you. If you are serious about your coffee and want to help local businesses, I implore you to check them out.

Hands down, the best coffee I’ve ever had. The guys at Magic Beans really care about good coffee and are passionate about making it. I live in Seattle, and there are a lot of people selling coffee around here… but I have mine sent to me from Magic Beans. I only wish I lived closer so I could get it even fresher — if you’re local to Lexington, don’t miss it! (And even if you’re not, give it a try if you can; I don’t think you’ll be sorry.)

As someone who lives in Chicago and regularly drinks award-​winning coffee from indie, local roasters, I have to say that Magic Beans coffee may be the best coffee I’ve ever had-​Smells great, beyond smooth, really fresh. Love the fact that its freshness-​dated. I will definitely be buying this on a regular basis!
