Yes, you can order online... Coffee Bean Direct Coffee Roasters: Quality Coffee and Tea at the Best Prices. Free UPS shipping if you order the 25 pound mongo-sack. That sack was about $169 for the 25 pounds, and it's organic free trade Sumatra beans, French roasted. Best I can do for anything comparable is $10-$12 a pound for the same kind of beans in the store - so this saves you up to about 50%.
Basic UPS charges if you order in the 1 or 5 pound sizes (which also cost more per pound). They also have very good prices for tea - and if you're really adventurous, they sell green beans so that you can roast them yourself.
It will take a long time to go through 25 pounds of coffee, by which time it will have gone stale. Roasted coffee is best ground and brewed within 72 hours.
Consider purchasing unroasted beans and roasting your own.

I'm paying a bit under $7 per lb. at Sam's Club. That would be comparable to the CBD price when you include the UPS charge on a 5 lb. package.
But I'm told that physicists drink mass quantities of coffee, so 25 lbs. probably doesn't last long around the lab.

Penny: "How was your day?"
Leonard: "I sat around and thought about things"
Penny: "That's it?"
Leonard: "Well, I wrote some of it down."
I'll let you know in 4 months whether it's stale after being sealed and kept in the dark and cool.
