Freshly roasted coffee beans online

The high horse brigade · 09-07-2018 9:02pm #1

My usual store to buy freshly roasted beans is 20 mins from my house and these days I go that direction less and less so I'm looking for an online supplier that will ship me beans roasted at least in the last 2 weeks. I go through a kg a month so a subscription would suit. Where do you recommend

Plenty of others out there to!

I can recommend the 3FE sub, I've been getting it since November.

I had a bag of Silverskin a few months back too, and I might jump to them when it's time to renew, I liked that coffee well enough.

€11-15 for a 250g is pricey. At that price I think it's worth going out of my way to my local who do 1kg at €24, I can order by text and collect. They roast to order
I love their fusion blend

In fairness, it was gifted to me, so the cost in my particular instance, is moot.

That said, the coffee is incredible.

badger and dodo, order by tuesday morning, delivered wednesday, roasted in the couple of days prior to that, never seen the roast date not be in the couple of days before delivery

usually around 27 to 29 for a wholebean roasted 1kg bag. sipping on the cyato they have right now as i type this and it's lovely stuff

That sounds decent, I'm going to give it a try.

I am a big fan of Bell Lane and Bailies - usually alternate between the two, both are always shipped the day or so after roasting from my experience.

Rave are good too if you use one of the UK postal services like parcel motel/wizard etc. for cheaper delivery

These guys do the best coffee in Ireland, IMO streets ahead of anyone else.

They regularly have micro lots of coffee bought directly from farmers co ops.

Um, no. No they don't. They buy from an importer like all the small guys. Nothing wrong with that of course.. just be honest

Be honest? You think I’m lying for a reason?

It’s my understanding they buy micro lots from farmers. Of course there’s a middle man who does the shipping.

Oh, no I don't think you're lying and sorry it came across that way. There's a lot of lying in the industry. But it seems like we might be at cross purposes anyway - it's the word 'directly' there which is often misused by unscrupulous roasters.

Every single coffee roaster buys microlots from farmers one way or another!

Rave coffee online have a sale on. If you are first time buyer and reg email you get 20% off. Orders over 25 sterling are free to UK address ( I used PM). Got 2x kilos coffee delivered for 35 euro that’s including PM

mad m · 17-07-2018 6:47pm

Ordered coffee from Rave Thursday evening, shipped Friday. Collected it this morning.:)

Cheers - went for the same - great deal for 2kg beans. Went for the ultimate no effort order and picked exactly what caviardreams suggested - so thanks both!

Enjoy!

My Rave order just arrived yesterday in perfect time for the weekend - picked up some of the sale beans, part of me hopes I don't like them too much as they are end of line and I won't be able to reorder! I asked them and the Suarez single origin is going to be a long term bean for them which is great to hear.

I'm working through Badger & Dodo's selection. They roast twice a week, and send orders next day after roasting. The Guatemala was really nice, and I'm currently loving the Brazil: Mantiqueira which really does taste like hazelnuts on the finish by the way. I'd buy them both tomorrow but there's still more to try! Was not a fan of their Columbia Nueva Zelanda, a bit too dark and earthy, and did not get the suggested tasting notes either. Prices are 7-8 euros for 250g, or roughly 40 euros or so including delivery for 2kg. Only a month plus out from owning an espresso machine but figuring out my personal tastes has certainly been worthwhile.

The high horse brigade · 23-09-2018 10:52pm

I forgot about this thread. I'm nearly finished a kilo of Rave Mocha Java but I'm not really a fan. I find it too dark, I prefer more medium roasts for americano and espresso. Any suggestions to what I order next.

Nonoperational · 26-09-2018 4:24pm

First experience of RAVE. Very cheap and makes great coffee. Roasted last week. Very hard to justify the prices of some of the Irish roasters. The Colombia Suarez Project is outstanding.

The high horse brigade · 26-09-2018 4:47pm

Just ordered some Rave Fudge Blend

Totally agree re the Suarez - an absolute keeper and thankfully they say it is one of their long-term lines, so should be around for a while.

Also like the Mocha Java but the single origins are nice and they often to a 15% off like at the moment there is 15% off 3 beans using code GoldDust: Tano Batak Iyella AAA and Finca Providencia

Taster pack is good value to try a few too: https://ravecoffee.co.uk/collections/coffee-taster-packs/products/espresso-taster-pack

Just bought a De'Longhi espresso machine. Had a Nespresso I picked up on the cheap but want to get away from pods and get into fresher brews. Going to check out a few of the outlets recommended here.

I don't have a grinder at the moment but I see most of them will grind for you. Question is, if I ordered a 1kg bag ground would it lose freshness by the time I work through it. I'm the only real coffee drinker in the house.

Hoping to pick up a grinder if I can get an electric one for handy money but it'll be ground coffee in the meantime.

Since you have an espresso machine you are best to get a grinder, beans lose oil very quickly when ground and for the best espresso with a proper rich crema you really need it to be a few seconds between grinding and brewing

I myself have a Sage which I'm very happy with. I asked on here but got recommended grinders costing 3-400 quid or else second hand, so i took a chance on it based on the Amazon reviews. Glad I did now.

Thanks, Sage grinder looks nice but probably out of budget. It's nearly twice the price of the coffee machine so not sure I could justify it just yet.

Any idead if the below De'Longhi grinder would be any good?

The reviews on Amazon have it as being very decent in that price bracket. It's probably a decent option to get your started.

Note, you've started down a long path, you'll be back here in 12-18 months asking about upgrades.....:)

It'd be fine for something like a mocha pot.

There's no real point "cheaping" out on the grinder.

Your just wasting money.

I'd hold off until you can afford something that's going to give you a consistent grind. That De longhi is not it.

That's what I'm thinking

A nice espresso is pretty much the only vice I have so I'd like to enjoy a good quality one when I do. Didn't want to break the bank on the machine but will see how it goes.

This Bodum seems to be better regarded in terms on espresso grind so will keep an eye on that one maybe

Thanks, will keep an eye out on what bargains pop up. Might see something Black Friday or the big red chap might pick one up for me.

In the meantime I might chance the Rave Espresso taster pack and get it ground and stick to 250g packs to keep as fresh as possible.

J_E · 29-10-2018 9:04pm

If you can handle the inconvenience of time/energy expended, something like a Hario Mini Mill will give you the cheapest serviceable consistent grind for espresso, given some dosing tweaks. Used one with a Rancilio Silvia with great effect for a year or two.

Bawnmore · 31-10-2018 10:30am

I've funnily enough went through the exact grinder options given on this thread (Hario>Delonghi>Sage in that order).

Hario Mini Mill is great - I still have it and use it when travelling anywhere with an Aeropress. I used it for 2 years and didn't really get sick of it, but you do need to consider making coffee a ritual of sorts as it's a bit of a slog grinding for espresso with it.

I moved on to the Delonghi after that as someone bought it for me as a gift. It can't grind fine enough for espresso out of the box, but there's a hack that involves opening it up and chopping off a little bit of plastic that stops the burrs from touching that allows it to grind fine enough. I used it for about a year, but it is definitely a little inconsistent and I noticed a big step up with the the Sage.

I use the Sage daily now and it's great. I picked it up for £99 when it dropped on Amazon momentarily. I love it - not problems with it at all - lots of nice little features.

Thanks for the input. Don't mind the idea of the whole ritual thing, its just getting the time to do it so need something convenient.

From the input on here I think I'll make do with ground coffee for the moment and I'm gonna keep an eye on the Sage. Had noticed it dropped to 99 on camel camel camel so I've an alert set up and will pick it up if it drops again.

Don't want to go wasting 40 and 50 here and there on cheaper alternatives when they won't do the job I need and I could be putting that towards the Sage.

I paid €11 for 250g of single origin coffee (Kianderi AB, Kenya) in Nick's Coffee in Ranelagh and €12 for 250g of single origin coffee (Marcala Los Ceibos, Honduras) in Baobab in Celbridge.

Where could I get the same quality, or better, cheaper online? Initially at any rate, I'd like to have a sort of selection box of very good coffees to taste them all and decide which I like most. Any suggestions for a coffee and a seller?

Also, does that Discount Coffee Ireland website sell any top quality coffees at good prices? If so, what would you recommend?

cnocbui · 07-11-2018 8:20pm

I haven't tried the coffees you mention so can't speak for comparable taste, but you could look at https://www.ponaire.ie/

Prices would be typically be more like €30 per kg than over €40.

Anyone have any recommendations for a subscription that gives different roasters each month? Everything I have found so far has been from a specific roaster but just want to see what all the options are before going for anything specific. Will be looking for 1-2 bags per month, probably go for a 6 month sub at first but wouldn't rule out a 12 month one either really.

s3rtvdbwfj81ch · 27-11-2018 9:58am

I don't know of any like that, all of the subs that I'm aware of are from single roasteries sending a different coffee each month.

Any tips/recommendations welcome!

The only service I know that does that is Barista Hustle and it is a bit expensive for international shipping. It would be a nice service though!

I've just finished 12 months of 3fe, and I loved it, fresh beans each month and not knowing what was coming, it was great.

I've just ordered 6 months of Bailies because it came with a keep-cup that looked nice, and felt like a change.

I like B&D too, and will probably do 6 months of them once the Bailies is finished.

As predicted I'm back. DeLonghi coffee machine packed it in so returned it to Amazon. Never got round to getting grinder that time so have gone ahead and Ordered the Sage Barista Express which has a grinder in the machine.

Machine should be here tomorrow, really looking forward to getting stuck in. Just ordered 1kg bag of Rave's Colombia Suarez beans and the Espresso Taster pack to get me started
