The Brazil - Fazenda Sertão (my favourite - would absolutely reorder on a regular basis!) and the Colombia - Finca El Nivel - also excellent. I like a nice rich, chocolately coffee mind you, not one for the citrusy ones!

Got a sample of the Peru and it was very nice too - slightly preferred the two I ordered though.

I'm going to try these guys out. Seems to be a good bit of word for them. How long did delivery take take?

Assume they roast to order, or once a week?

Every time I've ordered from WCC it's been at most 2-3 days after. He roasts on a regular basis earlier on in the week.

Although currently the postal system is a mess, it might be a bit longer, but that's the same with basically anything at the moment.

Just got 3 bags, delighted with them.

I may have just got lucky but ordered the 23rd, the roast date was the 24th March and arrived on the 25th! I imagine there may be courier delays at the moment that are worse than when I ordered, but even with a few extra days it would be fresh.

@Caviardreams,

Ordered .

Thanks

Just wondering if anyone has tried the ariosa coffee subscription?
One 500g bag per month for 6 months is 90 quid.

mad m · 21-04-2020 7:10pm

Got delivery today from WCC. They threw in a handmade bar of dark chocolate. Roast date was yesterday. Ordered Sunday evening. Very quick delivery.

Squidgy Black · 21-04-2020 7:16pm

I see Indigo and Cloth have a Lychee Process coffee from Nomad on their website. Very tempted but I've way too much in the freezer at the moment and €32 for 200g is a bit pricey for an anaerobic.

I would like to support small irish business as much as possible right now.

Thanks.

To add to this. If you buy Coffee Angel, you're by extension supporting Bailies who roast their beans or so I've been told by 3 of their baristas at different times.

Yep few different places doing their own labelling on roasters stuff, Bear Market do the same with Silverskin I think.

Soma is another one I left off the list, forgot they roast their own too.

Wow. That's brilliant. Thanks so much, it's great to see so many on the list. Let's hope they all get a share.

Thanks.

Don't see the kenyan bean on the site... might give this one a try when I order next week: https://www.westcorkcoffee.ie/shop/eugenia-nohemy-diaz as well as replenishing my stock of the Brazilian bean

I've had their house blend a few times at the cafe - i liked it "An Fear Mearbh." chocolate/caramel vibe

They do small runs of different blends every month or 2. not sure what their current stock is like with the current situation. Always seem to have at least 2 or 3 selections available.

As much as I love Stone Valley, they seem to be pricing themselves out when compared to other roasters based in West Cork alone. Taking the three I know and comparing their prices for a 1KG bag of wholebean Brazilian Coffee:

https://www.westcorkcoffee.ie/shop/sertao :: €36.00 (20% ATM = €28.80) (Free Shipping)
http://redstrandcoffee.com/product/brazil/ :: €31.00 (+€5 shipping)
https://www.stonevalleyroasters.com/shop/harvestmoon :: €40.00 (+€5 shipping)

SV coffee is seriously good, but I just find it hard to justify the price over the other two..

Slattsy · 28-04-2020 11:53am

Got a couple of bags from Cloud Picker. Not that impressed.

I might try Dreambeans that someone posted.

Any recommendations for red strand, looked at website and realise I know the guy who runs it so when my gear arrives I'd prefer to support him.

Interested to know why you weren't impressed? Were they the same coffee or a selection, were they stale, poorly roasted?

I'm interested as I have some on the way... Not that I know how to get the best out of it yet, but I'd like to know what I'm dealing with.

Just all a bit meh. Roast date stated middle of April so relatively fresh. Got the Brazilian and the Burundi. Neither blew me away.

Used both French press and espresso.

Squidgy Black · 29-04-2020 3:19pm

Got two bags from Upside for a change, got the Brazil Mantiquiera Mountains, one a darker "classic espresso" roast and the other a more standard medium roast.

The dark one is gorgeous with milk, definitely more on the chocolate side of things, wasn't a massive fan of it as straight espresso but I normally wouldn't drink dark roasts straight anyways.

Are the prices quoted on their webpage already including the discount do you know? Already very expensive at 10-12 euros for 227g!

Bluefoam · 30-04-2020 4:05pm

My coffee was shipped yesterday, arrived today... but roast date is 21st April. Should that be correct?

Similar with me. Expected it to be close to date of my order which in a lot places it would be.

They may be only roasting one day a week, remember their biggest customers are all closed, cafés

Yes they are - when you select the quantity and grind the old price displays. To be fair that's standard pricing for single origin. Plus the 1kg bags are much better value - 1kg of single origin for €29 is very good value especially with free shipping on top.

My last order from Adam's and Russell works out at €5.26 per 250g including shipping.

IMO the single plantation range is more comparable to true single origin with a lot of other roasters - so 3 for £21 is a fairer comparison. A&S single origin is not really what most would mean by single origin - i.e. the same estate.

I do take your point it's still cheaper though, but I haven't tried it myself. €10-12 per 250g bag would be common for single origin (i.e. single plantation) however.

Cheers for all of your tips guys, including Slattsy, natch.

Ordered 2 bags from WCC to give them a whirl. Looking forward to tasting it now when it gets here. Probably Tuesday I'd wager.

What did you go for? I just reordered some yesterday - went for the El Salvador and the Innovation Series Hydro as a treat :-) Sounds interesting!

Just the Brazilian (Fazenda Sertão) based on the descriptions on here as well as the East Timorese which sounds up my street based on the WCC description.

Free delivery is not to be sniffed at neither.

Oh the Brazilian is fabulous! Was tempted to go for it again but thought I'd try something different. Enjoy.

Slattsy · 30-04-2020 9:54pm

I'll get another few days out of the beans I have, will await updates on the WCC fan club before pulling the trigger there.

BonnieSituation · 30-04-2020 11:32pm

I actually wanted to get some Badger and Dodo and reading through here made me take the plunge on WCC.

I usually spread my business around a few places: Bell Lane, Badger & Dodo and Bailies mainly, but the WCC offer at 20% and free shipping is too good to pass up atm imo! Will be back to the others soon no doubt but WCC will also be in the rotation for sure :-)

EletricMan · 01-05-2020 11:33am

Hi guys, just got my first coffee machine. It's a delonghi etam29510b. What grind bean do I need for this machine?

That's a bean to cup machine, so you'll just need to buy whole beans. All the best with it!

Bawnmore · 01-05-2020 11:46am

Ordered a kilo of the Brazilian from WCC. Looking forward to it now - thanks for all the info above folks.

caviardreams · 01-05-2020 11:54am

God everyone is going for the Brazilian - I will feel personally responsible now if it doesn't go down well - won't be able to show myself in the forum again!

:o

Seems the local coffee shop (which I tend to avoid as I hate the atmosphere and their tiny cups) has Imbibe Colombia, Kenya and Rwanda as well as 3fe Passeio, Decaf and one in a pink bag I can't make out from the photo.

I know the 3fe well. What's Imbibe like?

adrian522 · 01-05-2020 1:55pm

WCC - The difference in value between the 227g and the 1KG is huge. I'd normally go for 2 or 3 smaller bags but you really have to go with the 1KG in this instance.

And this Brazillian coffee had better be good

Picked up some Kalita filters too.
