Works out at €52.82 per Kg. I just got some Indian Tiger Stripes from Adams & Russel which works out at €26.13 per Kg.

Perhaps in small quantities, but their beans are €35/€36 per kg delivered, which while still pretty expensive, is competitive with Bailies, Coffeemojo and B&D etc. Admittedly, you'd get 2Kg of your Indian Tiger Stripes for that price.

What are the Adam and Russel beans like?

Really nice coffee from them.

Just on the Bell Lane single origin costa rica las palomas - lovely. Nicer than the previous ethopian one I tried imo. Have been very impressed with their new single origin range and good value with the 20% off code at the moment - hope it lasts a bit longer.

I've been buying green beans from them and they're superb and interesting. I'd assume the roasted beans are too!

To change things up for a bit I ordered some Suarez Columbia from Rave rather than my usual local medium roast blend. I've dialled it in and am getting exactly a 60ml double after 29 seconds but I'm getting very little crema compared to my usual blend. The beans were roasted on the 24th April so should be perfect.

Bought a bag of Tiger Stripes from Adams and Russel - shipped today so might have tomorrow, but likely early next week.

How are you roasting them?

Sorry if it's been discussed before

I'm just looking for a one off order of a few bags and they do free delivery over 35 euro, but not much info on roast dates etc. From what I can see which of putting me off!

Quality coffee. The Ethiopia Kochere Debo is a great coffee.

Does anyone know which carrier the Adams & russell beans are delivered by - is it an post? It is so much easier for me as I can pick it up from the mail centre if I am not at home.

cnocbui · 03-05-2019 7:58pm

Yes, It's An Post - at least my order was. It was sent via Royal Mail so...

Jamie here from Upside Coffee Roasters. Always good to hear ways we can improve our online store! We are working on an update to our site, (should be ready in early summer this year) after which we will have a range of different subscription options available.

Hi! We roast our coffees in weekly batches, so 99% of cases, the coffee is less than a week from roast date when it is delivered to our customers. As we mentioned in a reply above, we are working on improving our website. We will certainly take your suggestion on board, and make it clear on our website that we're sending out fresh coffee!

I have an unopened bag of this, although a little older as I get through the 1kg of their espresso blend I'm getting through. I got some at end of Feb and enjoyed it.

I'll open this morning and feedback. I usually aim for 18g in, 36g out in 30s.

Zagato · 05-05-2019 11:06am

Roasted 5th April. Have had an espresso and Americano and certainly enjoy this one.

I tend to end up buying about 1.5kg of coffee from them to get the free UK shipping - orders >£25 (parcel motel) but is really more coffee than I drink in a month. I think OH drinks instant just to spite me.

Mine arrived via DPD today for what it's worth.

Cracked open the Tiger Stripes - still dialing in the the shot, but what I've pulled so far has been really lovely already. Came to £30 in total for 2 kg, which is great value. Only thing is that there's no roast date on the bag. There is an expiry date, which is 02/05/2020, which I'd take to possibly mean that the roast date was a 5 days ago.

Definitely grounds for divorce:)
Excuse the pun;)

MadDogGreener · 14-05-2019 12:55pm

I've just signed up to https://indycoffeebox.co.uk/ for the 3 bags/month package. Should work out around 10-11euro per bag. Havent got anything yet.

Apart from that, in the past year I've ordered coffee from Roasted Brown, Upside, Boabab, Bell Lane and Bailies. All have been great.

s3rtvdbwfj81ch · 29-05-2019 12:25pm

Any good deals out there at the moment?

can anyone tell me the name of that coffee that gets good reviews, supposed to be a sweetshop flavour or something like, could be making it up!

adrian522 · 29-05-2019 12:30pm

That would be sweetshop espresso from square mile in London

s3rtvdbwfj81ch · 29-05-2019 12:33pm

That's the one!

This a good sub option? Good coffee?

Getting a pain off Bailies not replying to emails trying to find out when my sub is up?

When I log in to their site.......it never tells you when your sub is approaching it's end or anything.
Their price and coffee is good but customer care leaves a bit to be desired imo. Been with them on and off since 2104.
Maybe time to change.

G rock · 29-07-2019 6:57pm

I've been buying from hasbean, and more recent, foundry, quite a bit.

Coffee from both has been excellent, and I use parcel motel or similar to reduce postage costs.

Worth a look

Planet X · 29-07-2019 7:00pm

Just pulled the trigger on Square Mile......rolling monthly sub so I can pull out whenever.
Give it a spin.

Ah..........Bailies reply at last to my two emails.

4 days later .........albeit including Saturday and Sunday.

I've flown...............wouldn't think it'd bother them too much though.

Mr Magnolia · 01-08-2019 10:27am

Signed up for the Bailies sub recently myself. Is the square mil sub not very expensive with shipping?

Planet X · 01-08-2019 10:43am

£1.50 per 350gr. bag.
Not too bad.

Is that to Ireland or is there a parcel motel fee on top?

That’s for all Europe. Directly to address.

Keep an eye on roasting dates.

I'd gotten bags that were heading for 3 weeks past.

can you link please - cant find a square mil reference:

I’ve bought a Bailies sub for two years now on a Black Friday deal for peanuts.

One espresso sub and one filter sub.

Great coffee.

Muahahaha · 04-08-2019 12:52am

Does anyone know any info about the bean used by Ariosa in coffee shops? Their website just says they specialise in single origon but theres a few items on sale in their shop, not sure which one of the three it is or could be something entirely different. The shop on their site lists Sumatra Mandhaling, Kenyan Kiambara and Costa Rica Hermosa.

Planet X · 07-08-2019 6:16pm

So....Square Mile, rolling sub. I can cancel anytime, paying monthly.

First order dispatched 7 days ago......no sign yet. Not good. It says on their site that Europe can take up to 9 working days.

Got my last Bailies sub order today, they ship first Wednesday of every month. It arrived today, Wednesday. Fantastic delivery these days but it wasn't always that good. now you get a DPD txt or mail when it's on it's way.

So......I've cancelled my Square Mile coffee sub. without even having received a bag yet. Way too slow. I know it'll arrive any day now but I was left short of coffee for a few days......not good :eek::eek:

Bailies was roasted two days ago. Great stuff.

BullBlackNova · 08-08-2019 10:34am

Ordered from 3FE on Tuesday morning; arrived this morning. Always impressed with the service.

Not sure if it's the right spot for this but - anyone have any tips/feelings on the metal Aeropress filters or, possibly, reusable V60 filters? On the former, is it possible to buy metal Aeropress filter in any bricks and mortar shops (I'm in Cork but all the cafés here seem to just have paper ones) and, on the latter, several reviews of cotton V60 filters have used the term "wet sock" so I'm not too keen! But I tend to fly through the paper ones for both at the moment so alternatives would be worth a look.

mossym · 08-08-2019 10:56am

Badger and Dodo sell the fellow aeropress filter/bottom, it's not into the filter but a replacement bottom that is supposed to regulate the pressure better. I got on as an Xmas present last year and have been impressed, might be worth looking at

Will have a look - thanks!

Muahahaha · 10-08-2019 12:31am

Use a metal filter in mine and find them great compared to using the paper. Just slide it off the coffee puck before going for the bin otherwise it could end up inside it. Got 6 of them from Aliexpress for a bargain €5.50 and gave a few to friends.

There is no free delivery to Ireland with AdamsandRussell anymore.. £10 flat rate shipping for any order .

cnocbui · 22-08-2019 7:47pm

Well that's a bummer. So glad I received 2kg from them, with free shipping ,earlier in the week.

yep, still ok though. I stocked up. After Oct 31st it will be worse.

cnocbui · 22-08-2019 8:10pm

They still have free shipping to UK addresses for orders over £30, so I can use ParcelWizard and cut that £10 to £3.52
