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

Crap - just as I've nearly run out too. I guess Parcel Motel option isn't too pricy. My only criticism is that I picked up 6 small bags last time and they were all very similar. Lovely, but similar.

They seem to be part of the Zero One Zero (Irish Rocket Espresso Machines agents) firm.

I find mine pretty good, but it doesn't make very fine or consistently sized grounds. I don't know if that matters, other afficianados will have to advise on that.

Anyone tried the subscription box from different roasters set up e.g.
https://beandelivered.ie/

Or a new one launching

Hmm, a terrible shopping experience (fill out a form and we will tell you what you need) and very high prices (€20 for a 250g bag of beans? They better be magic beans) respectively.

Muahahaha · 30-08-2019 2:19pm

Both of those sites just seem to be marketing operations using different roasters to drop ship

The best thing I have found with any of those delivery services is that they alert me to roasters I had never heard of. I follow them on social media, see who is in the next box and then go off and Google or buy myself. You'd buy 2/3 (often more!) bags for the price they charge for one.

Right. I think it's only going to make sense financially when it's roasters on a world class who would be too expensive to ship into Ireland on a single order.

I noticed a bag on 3fe's site

Colombia - La Esmeralda: Washed, Gesha.

Was 22.50 a bag. seems to be sold out. Just wondering if anyone here tried it and any thoughts?

I think I may have been given it in Gertrude when I asked for filter and was offered a gesha.

It was nice, I wouldn't say it blew my mind but had what you would expect of a gesha coffee - tealike, delicate berry flavours, some citrus burst. Certainly not typical of a Columbian coffee, at least not from what I normally taste, so I might indeed have had something different.

KG bag or 250gram

250g, that's about a standard price for coffees on that end. Usually quite a high quality coffee for that price, or you hope at least.

eljono · 02-09-2019 9:57am

I've had a 3fe monthly 250g subscription for almost 3 years, very happy with the quality and variety of coffee. It is a little pricey for the quantity, but the quality makes up for it in my opinion.

Interested to know if anyone else who's had a 3fe subscription have found a better option? Could be better in terms of price/quantity/quality/etc, I'd like to hear what you replaced your 3fe subscription with and why.

That's €89 per Kg! I'd be wanting more like 4 Kg for that price.

Tried a lot, never found anything to beat 3fe tbh

Planet X · 02-09-2019 4:36pm

Hmmm.........out of subscription atm, got about a month max before I pull the trigger.

3fe "Tasting Subscription" per annum looks very competitive actually, works out @ €10.83/250grs. I might actually go for this having been a Bailies lad since '14.

Bailies Microlot €9.96/250grs or £108pa.

I don't mind paying an extra few cent if it's as good as.

caviardreams · 02-09-2019 7:27pm

3FE looks good value for the tasting sub alright - pity they don't do discount codes like Bailies mind you!

Forgot to mention,been with HasBean/3fe for about 7 years.

Fairly impressive by 3fe, not many companies in any industry maintain that level that long.

Planet X · 03-09-2019 10:15am

Then again,

Bailies 2 x 250grs. /pm for 12 months = €197 (Microlot)
3fe 2 x 250grs./pm for 12 months = €260 (Tasting Sub)

Hmmmm......

cnocbui · 03-09-2019 1:02pm

That's an easy decision - neither: They are both very expensive and 6 Kg of coffee a year is far to little.

Akula · 03-09-2019 10:59pm

Have a bailies 2x250g microlot subscription currently. Paying 15 a month and very happy so far given it’s just over 8 quid a bag.

Anything else very good value like that?

They're not meant to be bought at that quantity and you'll never see it in a cafe as a large-volume item. Some of these are particularly exceptional coffees that taste quite a mark above others, and there are definitely a few cups at this price range that have been unforgettable for me, can still taste them thinking about it.

Enrico Palazzo · 05-09-2019 9:20am

Also, most of those higher quality beans are roasted for filter and you generally have a better economy there vs espresso.

Weepsie · 05-09-2019 2:50pm

Fixx are doing some Single Origin Bundles at the moment. You can get 3 for 30, 6 for 54 or 9 for 72. Havn't tried them or anything, but might be worth a punt. Free shipping over 50

Went to take a look at the deal and it says ‘The Team found a bunch of Single Origin coffees from this year which still have some life in them and would be perfect for anyone who wants to try different origins at a reduced price’

Feels like these could be pretty old beans / roast dates. Pity they don’t share more.

And only good value if you buy a lot of bags. And buying a lot of them and them already being old isn’t a good recipe.

Could be grand for somewhere high volume like an office.

Enrico Palazzo · 06-09-2019 12:10am

At 3 for 30 + shipping it's not even that cheap for a cat, uhmm, beans in the bag. Admittedly, I have never tried their coffee, but it's unlikely that I ever will. From a certain price point up you expect the roaster to provide details on the sourcing, even if that in itself doesn't automatically mean you are looking at high quality beans. But if the description is very generic, that always puts me right off, as it's most likely cheap beans priced way above their value. Bourbon from Brazil and bourbon from a certain microlot or even a coop both fulfill the definition of single origin coffee, but there can be a world of difference between the two.

Weepsie · 06-09-2019 7:09am

I missed that. I've had some of theirs a long time ago and enjoyed it, so took a punt as i got 20% off.

I'll grind them and bring them into work to share if needs be.

I'll have a bought worst in the past and will do in future no doubt

Weepsie · 06-09-2019 1:30pm

Arrived, 6 dfferent coffees. Fixx told me the roast date is 12 months before the BBE, not sure why they didn't print that. 3 from Feb then, 1 from march, then a few from May and June. Not great for most, nit probably fine for me given I've just finished my Bailies stuff that was roasted in March or April. Will give them each a go.

They have a bit more info in each individual one too, and no less than 3fe, but certainly less than Bailies whom I normally get from.

Quite expensive for such old beans ..

Was about to sign up to this exact sub. Using Baboa in Celbridge for the last 2 years looking for a change.

How do you find the beans and the variety they send?

£15pm for ongoing/rolling sub is decent value. I take it that the ongoing sub can be cancelled anytime?

I only just started it. And very happy with first bags. I believe you can cancel anytime so my gut feeling is you have nothing to lose by trying.

Planet X · 09-09-2019 6:09am

Bailies........6 or 12 month subscriptions only, you can't jump out at anytime during subscription.

CosmicFool · 09-09-2019 7:04am

Came across a coffee roastery called Old Barracks roastery in Birdhill Tipperary. They roast their own coffee on site in the coffee shop. It's so so good. Not cheap but very very good coffee.
Adults only coffee shop too. No kids but I guess they have awful trouble with that.

BobbyT28 · 09-09-2019 8:30am

Signed up to the ongoing sub. You have to do a minimum of 3 months before you can change sub. You can cancel ongoing sub at anytime after the 3 months.

Jaysus they’d want to come to my house and brew the coffee each time I wanted one for the prices they’re asking.

I’m all for paying money for good coffee but that’s a piss take.

€27.50 a month pay as you go for espresso beans.

caviardreams · 17-09-2019 7:25pm

Bell Lane might still have the 20% off FLASHSALE20 code working - you could try it! Think it is only off their blends, not single origin.

Dragonfly and Moondust are both great.
Really fresh beans always.

Maybe includes shipping? Whereas shipping would be an extra €5 if ordering without a sub.

Weepsie · 18-09-2019 11:28am

Yellowbourbon in England are doing a clearance of stuff roasted a few weeks ago as they were dialling in their new roaster. Mixed blend of 1kg each for a £10. Going to get myself a bag I think as it'll be 20 all in with Parcel Motel. Anyone else interested.

I've heard about them in another forum and decent things.

From the roaster

a bunch of batches I used to dial in the new roaster. I blended them all together, it’s mostly Aricha but some new Kenya, some Guatemala and the new natural Ethiopia Shalaitu. Earliest roast date is about 3 weeks ago. Tastes bright and fruity.

For the record, they have 6-7 bags left. I'm going to order one this morning, if anyone is interested send me a PM in the next hour or 2. Probably need to be dublin based as I can deliver within reason there.

INTERNATIONAL COFFEE DAY!
Our favourite day to celebrate, we're offering 20% less on all our coffee for International Coffee Day! Automatically applied at the checkout stage, the discount will be valid for today only. Enjoy!

https://shop.squaremilecoffee.com/

This ad came up on an instagram and since looking at their prices i think it would be expensive if it were 20% of the cost let alone 20% off the list price

Shocking prices - anyone bought here??

cnocbui · 01-10-2019 3:39pm

They are about 3 times more expensive than Adams & Russell. I wouldn't buy from them.

I want to try this crowd next: https://www.mondodelcaffe.de/produkt-kategorie/kaffees/

I dummied an order of 2.5Kg from them and it came to €54.6 inc shipping. From Squarmile, the same quantity came to €135.02.

Do you laugh or cry?

Enrico Palazzo · 01-10-2019 4:10pm

Expensive, but their small bags are 350g and they offer very cheap international shipping. I have never tried their coffee, but it's a recognised brand, not the least thanks to its co-owner James Hoffman, who is a coffee guru with a solid following on his youtube channel. What I like is that they suggest recipes, at least for some of their beans. I hope this becomes a standard that everyone follows some day.

Think they offer free UK shipping too so the prices take account of that - they have a 350g bag of red brick for £10.50 which is fine pricewise imo

Square Mile are a top roaster and having 350g is great especially if you are brewing espresso where you always waste some dialling in. I really don't find that expensive at all for quality coffee. Have had some phenomenal beans from them in the past.
