    Hey guys,

    As part of my gifts for turning 30 some lovely friends got me coffee as part of my gift however they didn't realise I don't have a grinder (obviously I didn't tell them that and just thanked them!).

    Is there anywhere in Dublin that would grind beans for somebody?

    While yes I could go buy a grinder, due to the fact my wife is expecting coffee consumption in our house has gone right down and will be down for the next 18 months as a result buying one isnt the best use of our funds right now!


    Thanks

    I'd imagine most places would do it for you, maybe buy another bag when you are there though?

    What part of Dublin are you in?

    Hey thanks for the reply!

    In Santry but wife will be in around city centre! That's great to hear, will definitely pick up another bag wherever I go, wouldn't expect them to do it for nothing. Thanks a mill

    Maybe try and drop an email or something first to be sure but most places that sell beans I'm sure would grind some for you.

    You might find your coffee consumption goes through the roof in a few month's time! :)

    If you want a spin out to the North County I can do them.

    Haha yes I would imagine mine just might! Though I have a few ideas about where the coffee grinder may end up if I got one and woke a small person up using it!

    Actually do two days a week out in Balbriggan, if you're near there? It's literally just a small bag!

    Thanks! I would get one but grinding my own beans isn't something I would be doing with any regularity so I'd be getting one just for one very small bag which is a false economy.

    Reason being between my office and home we have two nespresso machines and a few cafetieres and only use ground coffee once a week now with Mrs expecting.

    I got a grinder and went to return it to Amazon​ who said keep it and we'll refund you..so happy days.

    I grind for use in work with only 2 cups at home at the weekend. I won't pay for the euro nespresso in work!
