Not sure if my palate has changed or if their quality has gone down or what. I remember my mind being blown the first time I ever had a latte from there. Nowadays I find them weak / bland / disappointing whenever I pop in. When I'm in town I tend to go elsewhere unless I'm specifically around Paul Street. Pink Elephant on Washington Street brew with Stone Valley and it's glorious. I believe Alchemy up on Barrack Street and Filter over on George's Quay use 3fe. Plenty of better quality options out there IMO. EDIT: That being said €7 for 224g is definitely on the cheaper side. Most roasters tend me around €9-€11 for that size bag.

Danger781 wrote: » 30 euro per KG is pretty standard, if not on the cheaper side. Have you checked the prices of some of the Cork based roasters? West Cork Coffee, Red Strand, Stone Valley.. All in the €30-€40 range, sometimes more.. How are Maher's roast dates? Never considered them to be honest.

The other two are mine. I reached out after I fell in love with their INDONESIA - BENER MERIAH and it subsequently sold out, and he recommended the Burundi to me. I've been left pretty cold by a lot of SA coffee this year, but again, the recommendation of the PIENDAMO was worth giving it a bash. TBH, it's WCC, and so far I have a 100% hit rates with what we've received from them.

I'm thinking I may have overdone it though! We tend to get through about 1kg per month so that'll be about 6 weeks of coffee. It'll be losing some of its freshness by the time my next order comes around... Happy lad this morning either way.. Just gotta get through the remainder of my Three Fools stuff. Thought it would be gone by the time my order arrived but I clearly underestimated how much I had left :pac:
