Coffee Beans for Office

Bawnmore

Hi folks - was having a look around myself and thought it'd be worth throwing it up here for ideas.

We've a Delonghi bean to cup machine at work that we use between around 30 people (probably 15-20 realistically as not all drink coffee), and I have the responsibility of buying the beans for it. We go through 1kg per week on average, and I've been buying from Discount Coffee since we've had it as the budget is small - I vary on the beans we use, but it comes in around €10 per kg currently delivered. Obviously we're not going to get anything great for that amount, but is there anywhere else worth considering at that budget?

That's actually not a bad deal. Similar setup, we get Lavazza beans (they're ok) for around €12/kg from Musgraves. They have a few other varieties for slightly cheaper (€10/kg), but they'd be similar dark-roast long shelf life type of product. I have actually been buying 750g bags of Rob Roberts beans from Dunnes Stores (for around €12 per bag (€16/kg)) and I find them a huge improvement on the Lavazza beans. Ponaire would have different varieties for around €19/kg, which is probably as good as you'll get for fresh roast.
