The Burundi is lovely, haven't given the Fafa Reis a whirl yet as waiting for it to rest a bit longer.

Also, anyone seen Origin are now doing their house espresso blend in Nespresso pods? 10 of them for £5.50, might be worth a punt whenever offices reopen to throw in the drawer.

Ordered a bag of the burundi, cant wait to give it a go. Very quick despatch from WCC! Anyone tried the piendamo (columbian?)

This months Bell Lane subscription roast date was much better - delivered on the 16th, roasted on the 15th.

I order my coffee a good week before I need it to allow degassing. Coffee isn't at its best until at least 7-10 days post-roast.

Yeah it was nice this time to have the degassing duration at my own discretion.

Is that a scientific fact?

Mr Magnolia

I don't have any papers or the like but I've read numerous blogs from respected roasters on the topic.

General consensus seems to be to let beans rest 7-10 days as per earlier comment. One of the more interesting insights that I read (from a scientist! https://sprudge.com/5-incredible-myths-of-coffee-freshness-revealed-86011.html) was that it may not be just about the coffee tasting better after a week but that the beans are quite volatile in that early stage in terms of degassing (the rate of which varies significantly by bean and roast type) so that for espresso it can be more difficult to dial in your shots each day.

The recommendations do vary a bit:

La Cabra says wait a month for filter (https://www.lacabra.dk/blogs/news/we-should-be-resting-our-coffee)
The Barn says 12-14 days for espresso (https://thebarn.de/pages/after-we-roast)

There are too many variables involved to have one solution for all. For example, cupping should be done within 24 hours after roasting. On the other hand, some coffees need time to express their full potential, such as was the case of 2019 Indonesian barista champion who used a coffee that was used 2 months after roasting.

What? That "I order my coffee a good week before I need it....."?

I'd say that is undoubtedly scientific fact!

I often use it after 3-4 days and find it fine!

If you are waiting 2 weeks to start using it, and then it goes stale after 3 weeks, it's worse than avocados! :pac:

Is this thread just for online sales?

Anyway, bought some beans from Cork coffee roasters today (Rebel espresso blend).

I was in a rush but,

Expensive 7€/224g
No roast date
No blend details.
Plastic bag packing.

Not sure I will bother again at that price anyways.

Always felt CCR were overly expensive for what they are^

I've often gotten quite mediocre coffee from the cafe too. Not sure if my palate has changed or if their quality has gone down or what. I remember my mind being blown the first time I ever had a latte from there. Nowadays I find them weak / bland / disappointing whenever I pop in.

When I'm in town I tend to go elsewhere unless I'm specifically around Paul Street. Pink Elephant on Washington Street brew with Stone Valley and it's glorious. I believe Alchemy up on Barrack Street and Filter over on George's Quay use 3fe. Plenty of better quality options out there IMO.

EDIT: That being said €7 for 224g is definitely on the cheaper side. Most roasters tend me around €9-€11 for that size bag.

Hodors Appletart

yeah 7 quid for a half pound isn't expensive imo

Got 1kg of Bailies Guatemala El Limonar Strictly HB, not overly mad on it...

Had it as an espresso through Gaggia Classic, V60 and aeropress.

Hodors Appletart

yeah i had that via subscription and didn't think much of it

very nondescript

i find that with a lot of latin american single origin coffees tbh

I must try those coffee shops!

31.25/kg for house blend is hardly cheap though. Maher's do 25/kg and a decent bag and roast date to boot.

The Rebel blend is ok and I am enjoying it but no more than Maher's who I find to be good value in the area.

30 euro per KG is pretty standard, if not on the cheaper side. Have you checked the prices of some of the Cork based roasters? West Cork Coffee, Red Strand, Stone Valley.. All in the €30-€40 range, sometimes more..

How are Maher's roast dates? Never considered them to be honest.

High prices are standard for Ireland.

Ordered a bag of the Ugandan Ekimuli from PS Coffee Roasters. Be interesting to see how it turns out. Cafes are decent but haven't really heard anyone talking about the roastery side of things.

At 40 quid a kilo Ill wait until you post your review!

Ordered from WCC yesterday and shipped today:

BRAZIL - FLAVIO 'FAFA' REIS
SQ2122428
227g / WholeBean

Burundi - Kayanza
SQ4258773
227g / Espresso (Fine Grind)

Colombia - PIENDAMO
SQ1105167
227g / Espresso (Fine Grind)

The Brazilian is for the FIL and BIL who normally get 3FE or Fixx Brazilian whole beans or SA blends.

The other two are mine. I reached out after I fell in love with their INDONESIA - BENER MERIAH and it subsequently sold out, and he recommended the Burundi to me.

I've been left pretty cold by a lot of SA coffee this year, but again, the recommendation of the PIENDAMO was worth giving it a bash.

TBH, it's WCC, and so far I have a 100% hit rates with what we've received from them.

Bit steep indeed but similar price to the likes of 3fe, WCC etc. Don't mind splashing out the odd time to try something new.

Me neither, especially when someone else has taken the risk and done the research first!

Need some coffee for the bank holiday weekend.

Might give WCC a shot.

Best option?

I'm the same so i'm going to give Bonnie's bottom two a go. Thanks

I love PS Coffees. They had a Finca in 2018 that I still think about with fondness. I have a bag of the Ekimuli in the press but I'm finishing my Stone Valley Harvest Moon first.
