    Does anyone know of a place to get decent coffee beans.

    I have tried all the supermarkets in Tramore and Waterford and the only ones I can find are the vastly overpriced Illy beans at €8 per can! (think it is 250g)

    Did see Bewleys beans in Superquinn but they are gone now!

    Any help appreciated.

    I would imagine the Food Hall on Michael St, or the small place beside the smoothie bar in City Sq sell them?

    The guys on this forum often organise bulk purchases of both machinery and coffee beans to avail of discounts from abroad. If you're serious about your coffee, you might want to pop in and say hello.

    i just bought coffee beans only on Saturday in Mahers Coffee Shop in Cork. They had all sorts of different beans.. flavoured beans...

    I bought a bag of chocolate mocha beans, and then i bought two bags of java beans... but there was loads of others like colombian, kenya,ethiopian, etc etc

    There is three different sizes of bags that can be bought. I asked the lady in the shop if I want more will she post them down and she said no problems!!! I obviously have to pay for postage!!

    The chaps in Harlequins sell coffee beans too - Up by the old cinema - Can't remember the brand names, but they're Italian brands. Same as used by the cafe itself. Pretty nice too :)
