That's true, but mostly due to simple logistical constraints, more exoticly prepared beans generally don't keep as well on the shelf and need to be used shortly after roasting. I do a pour over in a Chemex every morning and use the beans I buy at Costco which are a locally medium-roasted, but not specially prepared. For more exotic stuff I get them directly from a local roaster in smaller quantities to be used within a week.
