I received my order this week from Crosby Coffee but am a little concerned about the roast date? Roasted on 11.11. Do you think this is a little “old”?

unless it was exposed to some weird temperature/weather/environment, you're totally good.
I think you are good if it's been sealed. I bought some exotic coffee for the bean worshiper here, and she let it alone for too long, and found that the bag has not fully sealed at the top, and it had gone funky. Couldn't return it because it had been so long too. Eventually I'd imagine it does go bad over time, but if the seal is broken...

I'm with @yaxomoxay; I think you should be perfectly fine.
Am awaiting a delivery of Ethiopian coffee and some coffee from El Salvador.
I recently acquired a soymilk making machine, so have started drinking my lattes with that. As long as I add a little bit of sugar it tastes fine. Slightly unusual, but as lattes with soymilk is what I drank when living in Asia, I'm used to it.
While my father occasionally tried soya milk, my now preference is for full fat milk, and, in parts of the world where that is not available, I tend t drink my coffee black.
I liked the breakfasts I had in Taiwan that had lots of fresh warm soy milk to drink with it. And, although nothing to do with coffee, the green tea lattes made with soy milk that Starbucks does over there.
I like to alternate my flavours and while like you I usually have full fat milk, the soy milk option makes it seem like a different drink. So now I drink twice as many
But for English tea ... eurgh. I tried soy milk once. Never again.
A good choice, they also have nice beaches to drink that coffee on.
I'm having a mug of Ethiopian with brown sugar and hot milk.

Ethiopian coffee with brown sugar (which I only ever seem to think of in winter, unless I am enjoying an espresso) and hot milk?
Nectar. Nirvana.
Do enjoy.
That is a trade off I never regret; good coffee is an investment in your own well-being, a cost that is "priced-in" to the concept of maintaining one's quality of life.
Absolutely! My only regret is that I don’t have more money to buy more coffee!
I think that it may be a matter of priorities.
Anyway, I enjoyed my coffee from El Salvador this morning, served with hot milk (full fat, organic).
new coffee arrived this afternoon.....some from Peru, some from Honduras and some Sumatra
I'd just made the last cup of coffee from my previous order, so the delivery was fortunate

I've been trying out various coffees from this seller and I've bought the Sumatra several times. It's very enjoyable. I haven't had either the Honduras or the Peru before.....but at the moment I'm having a cup of the Peru coffee and it's quite good.
Earlier this autumn, I tried coffee from Honduras for the first time and quite liked it; however, of your selection, the one that would interest me most is the Sumatran coffee, which I haven't had often, but fond different and very interesting.
As for Peruvian coffee, this is a treat that I have yet to sample or savour, so I cannot offer any thoughts or remarks on it.
