Beans in Dublin

IsThatSo?

Was just looking at the sticky on Bricks and Mortar sellers and it mentioned Ariosa and Fallon and Byrne and that they roast and grind their own beans. I will be in the city centre and want to treat myself to some new types of beans (happy days ), do these sellers sell the beans without grinding them? and can anyone recommend a few I could try? I like chocolatey earthy coffees but while looking for some like that I also want to branch out.................

Suggestions welcomed

Thanks.

Edit: should have said, am using pour over and french press these days, so suggestions for coffees suitable for those methods of brewing appreciated

you can find the Ariosa at the Saturday market in Meeting house square.

they will sell you the beans or can grind them if you wish. You can also have a cup while you're there.

Fallon and Byrne have a rather large selection of coffee's. Not that I have tried any of them, but someone here once posted that they just re-sell the Ariosa as their house blend, not sure how true that is...
F&B are on Exchequer street, just off George Street.

Another place you can try is Coffee angel (http://www.coffeeangel.com/).
You can buy roasted beans from their outlets and also sample any of the bags that they sell. a Tad pricey though at roughly 7 / 8 euro a bag.
