    Do you know if it's any good?

    We make coffee for groups that use part of a building I'm in and would go through a kg bag every couple of weeks and as we don't charge, it would be nice to get a bargain like this

    I'm sorry I haven't tried it yet, it arrived, works out at €5.50kg which is very good.

    Have ordered from Pure Roast before and found their coffee is excellent for the price. Cant comment on that specific blend but I've always been happy with what I've bought from them.

    Me too, I order from them regularly and have always liked what I got

    I just notice it states: "Rio Alto is a complex and sophisticated blend of Arabica and Robusta beans" - Robusta beans are generally very poor quality, you really do get what you pay for, nevermind the suppliers getting a fair price for the product also imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,786 ✭✭✭✭Muahahaha


    Depends on the blend, Ive had coffee that is 80% arabica and 20% robusta and it has been perfectly fine. Also good robusta beans do exist, its just that some roasters use cheap ones as a filler to save costs.

    Regards Pure Roast coffee I've tried their Temple Bar, Signature and Extreme blends and all of them have been solid drinkable coffees and at around €8-11 per kilo. They usually have offers on a lot too if you sign up to their newsletter.

    Used "flashsale20" this morning on Bell Lane coffee and it worked for 20% off. Worked out at €6.90 for a 250g bag delivered. Favourite coffee at the moment, excellent quality.

    It's showing as €5.01 for delivery for me. Anything I'm doing wrong to get that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 52 ✭✭Vooice

    No, I don't think so, that's what I paid for delivery. So I ordered 7 x 250g bags (like the variety), subtotal 48.30.
    Apply flashsale20, minus 9.66, plus 5.01 shipping equals 43.65.
    43.65 for 7 bags delivered or 6.24 each. I'd said a bit dearer in my original post.

    I prefer this coffee to the likes of 3fe and I have to pay 11/12 quid a bag for that so it's bargain for me!

    Roasted Brown are doing 10% off and donating full proceeds to cafes. You can either check out social media of cafes you like who use roasted brown for their individual code or use WORKTOGETHER and it goes into a pot to be split amongst cafes.

    3fe are also doing 25% off 1kg bags if you visit grand canal terrace or Sussex street where they've set up an ordering counter for minimal contact and social distancing.

    Cloud Picker are doing 25% off 1kg bags of Henry & Sam blends if you use code WECANDOTHIS and collect from their roastery tomorrow.

    Got 1kg bag of 3fe. Have a mini gripe. They are offering 25% off which is great but they are basing the 25% off at the 250 bag rate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,606 ✭✭✭alec76


    Surely with all coffee shops closed down , roasters have to sell some unwanted commercial beans .....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 799 ✭✭✭Akula


    Seems disingenuous. If they just said it was 15% off... people would still be happy given the circumstances. Feels like needless overselling.

    Full circle roasters are now selling online too https://www.fullcircleroasters.ie/


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,376 ✭✭✭caviardreams


    Bailies launching a new single origin sub (tbh I thought that's what the microlot was but I guess this is a step below that!)

    Really interested in this myself - 15% off with code COFFEEDROP

    Are the delivery problems people mentioned recently still an issue?

    Some solid coffees here - their Brazil is solid, and the Burundi and Kenya are also fab coffees.
