Most supermarkets sell a couple of brands of whole-bean coffee in
several varieties. How high *is* that desert? :-)

For mail-order, as another poster wrote, "Google is your friend." I
have ordered and received gifts from this company, which has quite a
selection:

Unfortunately, it gives funny names to some of its offerings, so hard
to tell which is a 'flavored' version (I share your distaste in that
area). I'm pretty sure you could e-mail specific inquiries. They (or
others) might even be able to make up a sampler selection of small
quantities for you to try out.
