If you're interested, you can also buy green beans from someone (Len's in Medford will ship or do pick up) and practice some stove-top roasting with a korean-style ceramic roaster (they're like $25 online).

caveat: you have to blow the chaff off during the roasting process, so unless you can lean out a window or keep going out the back door while you're roasting, this might not work for you..

I have less than 0 time, so while this is interesting, it falls into the category of things I’m never going to find time to do 😅

I’d like to drink good coffee & support local business, but I was doing neither of those because the Trader Joe’s blend I had was good-enough and I could throw a bag in the cart when I was there.

fair enough, then I'm going to suggest George Howell in DTX. It's probably within a 10 minute walk from South Station, and they have a really good selection. Try the Tarrazu French Roast to start, that's my go-to, and it's also their cheapest at like $15/bag.

George Howell started Coffee Connection, which was our Starbucks in Boston before Starbucks bought them out..
