The Freshest Scoop2012-05-18T19:08:11ZTony SciandraCopyright 2012, Tony SciandraSPHPBLOGCOCLA , La Convencion, Quillabamba Region, Cusco - Lot 8498espresso. The blood orange sweetness is almost sugar-like!
Shipping costs are always a factor with on-line purchases. When I first entered this business roasters were creaming their customers with high shipping costs, and some even tacked on a handling fee. Hence, my introduction of Fresco's Value Packages -- The Chubby, 3 Bagger and Mamma Mia -- which charged the customer my cost for USPS Priority Flate Rate, and too they delivered the most bean for the buck. It was a hit, and other roasters followed with more competitive rates. Today these same roasters are taunting Free or a low cost Flate-Rate shipping fee, and if one looks closely at their coffees prices you'll see higher prices. No doubt they are making up for the shipping fee promo. Personally as a consumer I'm insulted by such antics and wouldn't want to treat people like so.
Thus I'll continue to stick with providing my customers with great service, a superb roast, excellent coffees & espressos, decent prices and straight forward shipping fees that provide the most bang for the buck. Today with both the soft commodities (coffee, sugar & cocoa) flying through the roof and fuel prices on the brink of crazy I am being pinched. Believe me it breaks my heart to raise prices but I have too and recently have. I kept my flagship Ambrosia Espresso and Premium coffees and Blends at the same old prices while I shored up other offerings to come into their price-point, which pretty much mirrors the soft commodity market.]]>http://www.caffefresco.us/CaffeFrescoBlog/index.php?entry=entry110324-1835582011-03-24T00:00:00Z2011-03-24T00:00:00ZYear-End Schedule Caffe Fresco is looking forward to roasting your coffee and espresso this Holiday Season.

I like to think we are in the doldrums of the recession and things will begin to look better soon.
So far Caffe Fresco SCR, by design, has been able to weather the recession storm well, and I'd like to greatly thank you for your patronage during the past couple of months. To thank you, I've come up with The Big Deal! For those of you who have never tried Caffe Fresco before, The Big Deal is a great time for you to experience great roasted coffee.
The Big Deal is about low prices on the Value Packages. The cost for the Chubby (2, 16oz. bags), the 3 Bagger (3, 12oz. bags) and the Mamma Mia (6, 16oz. bags) are $26, $29 and $78 respectively, and the low price includes shipping! International customers, I have you covered with a deal on a 3 Bagger for $37.00!
The Big Deal is only available through the following link!
Simply use the pull-down menu to select a Value Package, and then click the Buy Now button. During check-out leave a note with your coffee selections in the "Add Special Instructions to Seller" field. Your order will be Roasted and Posted as normal. Local NEPA orders will be delivered by Moto Guzzi.
The Big Deal will be available until October 23rd. For practical purposes I've listed all offerings below. Feel free to share The Freshest Scoop of The Big Deal with all your fellow coffee and espresso lovers.

Many customers are afraid to make orders on Fridays in fear their coffee will be sitting around in the USPS mail system. This does not happen. The coffee is always on the move. In most cases what is shipped on Friday is delivered on Monday! Again, I must say the USPS Mail System is TheBomb! ]]>http://www.caffefresco.us/CaffeFrescoBlog/index.php?entry=entry090423-1532592009-04-23T00:00:00Z2009-04-23T00:00:00ZA biG THANKS to Home-Barista.Com and Dan Kehnhttp://www.home-barista.com in my world of Caffe Fresco Specialty Coffee Roaster.

I've received a few e-mails pertaining to a problem with the shopping cart, specifically items were not being added. After a few times around, I've concluded the problem occurs with older versions of Firefox web browser -- 2.0 and less. The current version 3.0 works just fine and I highly recommend installing the latest release 3.0.7. To do so click the link below.
