    Just seen that Hasbean's 52 week subscription to Ireland including shipping has gone up from £350 to £545.

    I imagine all sorts of things are gonna start getting more expensive in GBP as the medium term effects of Brexit/ their currency tanking start to hit. Still seems excessive though.

    I used to buy from Irish roasters and Hasbean - looks like it'll be Irish only from now on!

    As well as the postage issue they look to have increased the pricing for everyone (standard price per bag no matter the frequency)
    https://www.hasbean.co.uk/blogs/news/subscription-pricing-update

    Bailies subs are very reasonable too OP (for now at least!)

    I have not ordered from Hasbean in maybe 7 or 8 years - not sure why. I remember they used to be the first place mentioned but now there is just so much choice.

    Thanks - never heard of Baileys. 15 GBP per month for 500g seems reasonable. Coffee any good? Any other decent options?

    Have had a Bailies sub for years and occasionally, every about 3 months or so, I need to order a couple of extra "fill the gap" bags like yesterday.
    I see they're now charging for orders under £50. Never had that before. Was always free p & p.
    Not to worry.

    Bailies coffee is excellent imo - also there are regularly 10% off codes going about at easter, xmas etc. so keep an eye on the bargains thread here.

    Subscription wise Bell lane do a single origin one - have tried a couple of single origins as well as their blends and all are fantastic imo

    There are lots of recommendations if you search some previous threads.

    I like Rave coffee too but their subs are pretty pricey because of postage so just order one-offs deliveries

    Badger & dodo are good too - can't remember if they do a sub - I think they do!
