Best, cheapest coffee beans?

sarkozy

So, I'm broke now and for the forseeable future, but I find it hard to accept I must give up real coffee for the considerable future until the situation changes.

So, what do you think the cheapest and best beans are? Closest I've come so far is Nick's Coffee 'sweet Italian' blend in Ranelagh, which comes in about €5 per 250g bag.

Coffee Angel has a Yirgacheffe going right now that's amazing, but it's about €7. 3FE is closest to me, and they have good coffees for €8, but it's way to expensive for me at this time.

Help!

Cheapest I've seen is two 250g bags for around 8 euro from Bailies http://bailiescoffee.com/productdetails/184/espresso-starter-pack-free-delivery.aspx

Random selection of two from their espresso range. Delivery takes about 3 days from Belfast to Dublin.
Postage is GBP 1 extra to the South so on offer at GBP 7.40. Beans usually roasted with in a week lately
by the time they arrive.

IMHO well worth EUR4 a bag for the daily grind. Can always add in variety from other roasters.

Cheers, ordered them. Wasn't charged for delivery.

Is Bailies good with Aeropress?

How about discountcoffee? I wouldn't go with the cheapest beans there but the Costa Rican at €12/kg is pretty decent

Do they roast the beans or how long have they been roasted before postage
