Coffee in Bulk

So we have between the 3 of us a coffee machine in office. And i am really done with this mediocre brew people like to swear by as coffee. Its caffeine for sure, but it is not coffee. Doesn't smell like one. And i hate to sip it.I honestly search for good blends to taste.
And there are very few i like. In America, a decent coffee i have come close to is Allegro by whole foods and Hazelnut house blend by Panera. Anytime good is Nescafe granular beaten with warm milk and sugar to froth enough and then hot water added to taste really delicious. The best i have ever had is the Sabre farm coffee from South Africa. Their medium roast is amazing. I once wrote in wanting to know if they would ship it to me in he USA but they probably decided i was nuts and didn't respond. This is a farm in SA which is family run and they roast their own coffee, with a passion and perfection that shows through in the beans.
Without offence but with major frustration to the bulk that sits across shelves in the stores, people like to drink wine and coffee but they don't probably know how to buy the right thing and savour it. Some things rather be boutique for the love of it.
