Boards Coffee Community, you've failed me!

I'm into coffee, Kaph is my go to and I buy their beans, Cloud Picker & WCC. I'll make my way to Ranelagh just to get a coffee at Nicks...

But I just discovered Brew Lab today and was shocked that we have this in Dublin and I never knew... I also found Blind Monkey roasters in there, again which I never knew about. Coffee Lab is awesome, what a great place to explore...

Why don't I know these things? In the old days you'd find out on boards, but everyone has left. I don't work in the city and definitely don't work at Google or somewhere coffee gets discussed (obviously).

1. How do I stay in the loop?
2. How did I get to this stage?

No clue on how to help OP but thanks for the tip on brew lab.

BrewLab is genuinely great! I’ve also been recommended Unfiltered in Inchicore.

I'm more surprised that Brew Lab is still there. I just stumbled across it on a trip to Dublin 5 or 6 years ago !

To actually answer your question OP I don't. When I lived in Dublin I would check out any new coffee shop I came across but post covid I just order whatever new coffee's Coffee Angel are doing that month via delivery and ordewr a kilo bag if its really nice. I just throw it into a moccaamaster at the end of the day so I'm not terribly picky.

I'm must be thinking of somewhere else.

I had the Dublin Barrista school in my mind for some reason 🤷
