Bulk Coffee Beans | Wholesale 5lb Bags & Case Quantities | Kaldi
Bulk Coffee Beans for Your Business
Whether you're running a busy cafe, stocking an office break room, or supplying a restaurant, buying coffee in bulk makes financial sense. At Kaldi, we specialize in providing fresh-roasted coffee beans in quantities that work for your operation—from single 5 lb bags to full pallets—all at competitive wholesale pricing.
Why Buy Coffee in Bulk?
Significant Cost Savings
Purchasing larger quantities reduces your per-pound cost substantially. Our tiered pricing structure rewards volume while remaining accessible to smaller operations. Even modest increases in order size can save hundreds or thousands of dollars annually.
Consistent Supply
Running out of coffee during business hours means lost revenue and disappointed customers. Maintaining adequate inventory ensures you're always ready to serve, even during unexpected demand spikes or supply chain delays.
Operational Efficiency
Fewer, larger orders reduce the time spent on purchasing and receiving. Your staff can focus on serving customers instead of constantly managing coffee inventory and placing emergency orders.
Freshness at Scale
Unlike many bulk suppliers who ship pre-roasted inventory that's been warehoused for weeks, we roast your order fresh and ship within 24 hours. You get the cost advantages of buying in bulk without sacrificing the quality that comes from fresh-roasted beans.
Our Bulk Coffee Options
Standard Packaging: 5 lb Bags
Our standard wholesale packaging is 5 lb valve bags that preserve freshness while being manageable for daily use. This size works well for most commercial operations—large enough for cost efficiency, small enough to use before flavor degrades.
Order as few as one bag or as many as you need. There are no minimum order requirements, though volume discounts apply at case quantities and higher.
Case Quantities
Cases typically contain 4-6 bags (20-30 lbs total) depending on the specific product. Ordering by the case qualifies for our first tier of volume discounts and simplifies inventory management.
Pallet Orders
High-volume operations, multi-location businesses, or distributors can order full or partial pallets for maximum savings. We'll work with you on custom configurations and pricing for large orders.
Custom Packaging
Need different bag sizes for your specific operation? We can accommodate custom packaging requests for larger orders. Contact us to discuss your requirements.

Flavored Varieties
From classic vanilla and hazelnut to seasonal specialties, our flavored coffees use natural flavoring oils and are available in bulk quantities.
Custom Roasting for Bulk Orders
Every coffee performs differently at various roast levels. We offer light, medium, dark, and extra dark roasts, and we're happy to dial in a custom profile for your bulk orders.

Ordering & Delivery
Place orders online 24/7 or call our team for personalized service. We roast to order and ship within 24 hours, with most orders arriving within 3-5 business days via UPS Ground.
For large orders, we can arrange freight shipping to reduce costs. Local customers in the Carolinas can pick up orders at our facility or arrange delivery.
Storage & Freshness Guidelines
Proper storage maximizes the shelf life of your bulk coffee:
Keep Sealed: Our valve bags preserve freshness until opened. Store unopened bags in a cool, dry place away from light and heat.
After Opening: Transfer beans to airtight containers and use within 2-3 weeks for optimal flavor.
Avoid Refrigeration: Don't refrigerate coffee beans, as moisture condensation degrades quality.
First In, First Out: Rotate inventory to ensure older stock gets used before newer deliveries.
Standing Orders & Automatic Delivery
Many of our bulk customers set up standing orders that ship automatically on a schedule that matches their usage patterns. This ensures consistent supply without the need to remember to reorder.
We can help you calculate your usage rate and establish a delivery schedule that keeps you stocked without over-ordering. Adjust quantities or pause deliveries anytime as your needs change.
