Aackk... such a question! Almost like saying "has anyone bought a car?? if so whats the best kind.
:)
There are hundreds of coffee "roasters", which I'm assuming is what you want, rather then "green" coffee beans (for your own roasting), and many have online access. I won't attempt to tell you who is best, because that's so subjective. You would be thoroughly pleased with many of the good roasters out there.
***IMPORTANT: (sorry for yelling) :) Always find out just how fresh their beans are going to be by the time it reaches your door. (that is, how close to roast date) Any decent roaster should be able to supply you with this information. It is what their business is all about.
I would incourage you to do a little "Googling", doing searches on "coffee" and on "espresso". You can also add words such as "beans" and "roasters" to those initial searches. I have dozens of sites in my Coffee "favorites" folder.
Be careful of taking answers you read on sites such as this (even mine) as gospel. Many are uneducated. One guy on another question rebuked people for spelling espresso correctly. He said, "NO, it's expresso"... sigh.
A couple suggested links that just scratch the surface...

***go the above site and click their links button***

Researching coffee and espresso can be fun if you like the subject. There is so much out there.
OK, OK... I guess I could give you one idea on an online coffee seller:

Funny name. Incredible coffee. Check out the "See what others have to say about Coffee Fool" link at the bottom of the page. It leads to a song writen just for this coffee maker by singer/songwriter Brad Davis.

With Amazon.com you can now buy coffee by the pound and almost any brand is available, though shipping fees vary. Just ask around, get recommendations from your friends and get some names, then look them up there.
I used to work at Borders Books and Music years ago and they had, and still do have, great bagged beans and ground coffees there, reasonably priced. You can get that online. Don't get it at the store by the cup--it's pricy and, more often than not, the very young servers are surly!
See the report at Consumer Reports online, also, about specialty and commercial coffees, by pound, price, etc. There are some real surprises there ie: McDonald's new specialty coffee beats Starbucks in both taste and price tests, etc
We have also tried Rocky Mountain Roasting Co. brands, Koinonia Partners Fair Trade coffee, Caribou Coffee and many others by checking them out online at their sites. These tend to be small roasters that offer a few stock brands of great renown, or in Caribou's case, large roasters with a broader range coffees to try and slightly more reasonable prices; most offer seasonal specials and types of coffee for holidays.
They vary in price from reasonable to very high prices, but they are all excellent to drink.
Locally, in Pittsburgh, PA, I buy coffee from Aldo Coffee Co., or Fortunes in the strip district. They both sell online or ship. Can be pricy if I have to go drive to get it when I don't happen to be downtown or over in Mt Lebanon, but both are excellent. I've never had a bad cup from any bag I've ever bought.

Paradise Coffee, I love little off beat catchy coffee places. Starbucks is truly commercial, I would rather have something exotic than a zerox of what the rest of the US is drinking in the morning. Honestly, I have had a few starbucks who hasn't.. But my main squeeze for my morning espresso and blended mocha is right in the heart of my town, and it definatly is not a Starbucks..

My husband and I have the Keurig coffee machine, and we order from their website. There's different brands you can order that go with the Keurig coffee machine. We like pretty much everything the Keurig site has to offer.
