“This coffee accomplishes what I would have thought impossible: It preserves a remarkable richness, sweetness, and complexity at an absolute dead-end darkness of roast...it remains richly and roundly bittersweet with an impressive smoky rather than burned character..."
– Kenneth Davids, author of "Coffee: A Guide to Buying, Brewing, and Enjoying" - See his review of Hair Raiser Coffee.
“HAIR RAISER has spoiled me for every other coffee. Like the guy on the package it’s upbeat and full of flavor. I’m such a big fan.”
– Beverly Taylor, Santa Barbara, CA

“We’re an upscale gourmet market, and our customers demand high quality products. HAIR RAISER is a high quality product second to none. They made a name for themselves here since day one. Image is everything, and their logo and packaging is phenomenal. People grab at that package. It’s a fantastic product, and it has a great flavor. I sell HAIR RAISER 4 to 1 over any other coffee in our store.”
– Mike Matthews, Promelis Market, Newport Beach, CA

“We are a small town coffee house, with a clientele that knows what they like. People come in every day and ask for HAIR RAISER by name. Some customers like it because it has less caffeine, but there’s no sacrifice in flavor. The HAIR RAISER logo initiates conversation, and our daily customers remember it.

“HAIR RAISER is everything that coffee has to offer. I drink it myself. We even buy it at the grocery store. HAIR RAISER beans are very oily, and that oil gives the coffee depth. It’s distributed well, and the beans are always fresh.”
– Evan Levy, owner, Café Des Artistes, Ventura, CA
Selling HAIR RAISER since 2004
“HAIR RAISER has appeal because it packs a punch, and it’s not bitter. Its logo shows it’s perky and not a blah coffee. It’s an in-your-face coffee.”
– Ashley Phillips, manager, Mojo Coffee

“It’s a great seller. People like the logo, but the coffee is what sells it. This dark roast coffee is roasted longer than anything else we carry and when you roast it that long, that dark flavor really comes out. It’s our best selling dark roast. It’s awesome that a local product sells so well. I don’t drink coffee myself, but my wife is a coffee fanatic and she LOVES it. HAIR RAISER is the first coffee we put out every morning. It’s definitely our best selling Caribbean coffee.”
– Kevin Henning, manager, Montecito Village Grocery, Montecito, CA

“One day I really needed a pick me up and I wondered if I could make chocolate covered HAIR RAISER coffee beans. I melted down some chocolate and mixed it with some HAIR RAISER beans, and passed them around to all the employees. We loved it. It gave us lots of energy. It was an out of body experience! Sometimes you just gotta have it, now!””
– Melanie Brown, waitress, Egg House, Simi Valley, CA

“For customers who like our strongest, darkest coffee, the answer is: HAIR RAISER. People like the name, they like the flavor, and it’s dark, rich and strong. It gives you that jolt that gets you going in the morning. We sell 15 different flavors of coffee in the morning, from the darkest to the lightest, and HAIR RAISER is the darkest. It’s a really strong coffee.”

“HAIR RAISER is a great coffee and seller. Our customers love the strong flavor. It grabs you. It’s a stout coffee. HAIR RAISER has always been our top dark roast seller since 1994. It’s popular and locally known. Sometimes the logo scares people off, but you have to explain it doesn’t have any more caffeine than an average cup of Joe. It just has the bold taste.”
– Eric Hamor, owner, Hot Spots, Santa Barbara, CA
Selling HAIR RAISER since 1994
“HAIR RAISER is a triple roasted dark coffee with strength and boldness. We stay with Caribbean Coffee because they carry HAIR RAISER. We make it first thing in the morning. People come in, ask for it by name and definitely get addicted to it. They buy it in bulk bags weekly.”
– Sarah Hill, manager, Latte 101, Ventura, CA
Selling HAIR RAISER since 1999
“Every day we brew a different flavor, a regular and a decaf. But we always brew HAIR RAISER, and we sell the @%!* out of it! We also sell it by the bag in our café. So, I gotta say, it’s good stuff.”
– Tom Lucus, owner, Bean Town, Sierra Madre, CA
Selling HAIR RAISER since 1994
“It’s a great coffee. It’s very rich and bold without having that bitter acidic taste like Starbucks coffee has. Starbucks did a good job of programming people that burnt acidic taste means you’re drinking a strong coffee. That’s not true. It means you’re drinking burnt coffee. True coffee lovers know HAIR RAISER is a bold coffee without having that burnt acidic aftertaste. We’ve been using it for 5 years. It’s a top seller.”
– Randy Platkoff, owner, Ric’s, Los Angeles, CA
Selling HAIR RAISER since 2000
“I like the flavor. The flavor is always consistent. It’s never bitter and never over-roasted. I serve it to my girlfriends, and I get compliments all the time. I buy 2-3 bags at a time and freeze it and when it comes time to break out the last bag it still has the same flavor. With other company’s coffees, by the time you get to that third bag it tastes bitter. And I like the price for the flavor and the quality of coffee I’m getting with HAIR RAISER.”
– Nancy Paoletti, Elkhart, Indiana, mail order customer

"We do love coffee! I had abandoned the idea that dark roast could also be quality roast. Until I tried yours. We both responded to the first old fashioned drip cup from our old fashioned burr grinder with a "WOW!" The joy and pleasure of REALLY DARK coffee without the sense of brewed charcoal! We don't know how you did it, but you've managed what others gave up on: dark roast that still tastes like coffee. Thanks so much. Hair Raiser will take its place alongside our treasured Yirgacheffe as part of the daily grind."
- Wes Howard-Brook, Seattle, Washington, mail order customer

"Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your coffee. I've tasted quite a variety of gourmet coffee, and yours is by far the best I've tasted! I used to think that kona coffee was the best tasting coffee to come down the pike but I've changed my mind. Your brand of dark, rich, smooth, and vibrant coffee is by far the best I have tasted thus far. Thank you again for this simple pleasure in life called Hair Raiser!"
