I have been getting beans from Ebay but recently got burned and would like to try to find a source outside of ebay that still has good prices for 20-25lb bulk purchases.
Suggestions?

For bulk green coffee - The Coffee Shrub is hands down your best bet. No 2 ways about it. You can buy full grain pro bags of serous quality beans for very reasonable
Do you think it would be worth doing a group buy after shipping is figured on a pro bag? Say split it five ways and ship the 20 lb sacks off via usps flat rate?
Ordered 5 lbs of coffee from Burman's and am looking forward to experimenting with it. I'll likely make a coffee stout with some of the grounds. Do you guys usually just add grounds to the mash?

cold brew is easily my favorite way to go.
what type/origin of coffee did you get? certain origins don't work well with beer in my experience.
Peruvian, Brazilian and Honduran
I just finished drinking a pound of this Brazilian bean and I will say that some mornings it was pure nirvana for me. I'm almost reluctant to tell you since I'm going to buy a bunch more and I don't want their supply to run out.
Brazil Tres Vizinhos Peaberry
haha i just ordered two pounds of that one, and i'm looking forward to trying it. Typically spend about $16 a pound for locally roasted coffee, so it'll be nice to see that cut almost into a third at home.

What origins do you stay away from?
For beer, I'd steer clear of anything acidic. Kenyans, guat's, Burundi, etc. probably easier to list what I would suggest: Yemen is head and shoulders above the rest for suggestions. Without going into detail, it possesses several qualifiers which which would mesh well with darker beers. They are expensive so if you're serious I can expand.
Secondly I'd probably suggest a Papua New Guinea or Sumatra. Both are similar and are nearly defunct of acidity. They both are known for their earthy traits but can also display some muted fruity characteristics. The PNG would be a serious sleeper for a sour coffee ale!!!!!
Lastly I'd probably suggest a Brazilian or Jamaica Blue Mountain/Kona. The latter is totally garbage coffee much like Brazilian but they all pack a nice milk choc. punch. Since they are all low grown acidity is non-existent. These coffees may be garbage for drip, but they are great for stouts & additions to an espresso blend
Surprised no one has mentioned Happy Mug.
I've been using them - great cs and ships quickly.
