Ponaire had free shipping once you ordered over 500g ... has that now changed to over €50?

Been using the site for years ... this has changed in the last couple of weeks? Disappointing

It was same when I was ordering, however once I got to checkout shipping was free. Try it

Definitely charging €5 at the moment , after trying ordering 1kg beans

Yeah. Paid for shipping during the week. To be fair, I don't mind paying for shipping when it arrives so quickly.

Yeah, see it now. Bummer, must of been a glitch.

It happened me the other week and it seemed to be over 30 and it was free. And I was only ordering 25 worth.

Threw in some of their teabags for a 5er and worked it that way.

Does it Ponaire long to deliver?

Both delivery costs are still listed on their site in different locations - a bit confusing top say the least.

dubstepper · 12-10-2020 09:55AM

That's weird. I ordered 1kg from Ponaire about 2 weeks ago and delivery was free.

Don't think it is quite as nice as the Two Fifty Square I was drinking, but its about 15 euro a kllo chearper!

Anyone ordered coffee from Velo? I'm getting a machine from them and they're sending a few bags of coffee free. Just wondering what to expect.

Their tendem blend in Aldi isn't great but I've heard good things about the BMX blend.

I've had some coffee at the shop there and it's quite nice actually and took a bag of their fixie aswell which went down nicely.

I'll probably get banned for mentioning the name but...

6x200g whole bean blonde Starbucks for £12.69
Not bad considering its about 7€ each in store !
There's 6 packs ground coffee there too

https://www.amazon.co.uk/STARBUCKS-Espresso-Roast-Blonde-Coffee/dp/B07X63LCXC/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_mod_primary_lightning_deal?dchild=1&keywords=starbucks+beans+blonde&qid=1602674241&sbo=Tc8eqSFhUl4VwMzbE4fw%2Fw%3D%3D&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&sprefix=starbucks+beans&sr=8-2

If you don't like that though there's other offers on other brands for Amazon prime day deals

Hodors Appletart · 14-10-2020 02:12PM

do any of the amazon based coffees roast to order?

Bigbooty · 14-10-2020 02:32PM

Pretty sure they never expire. Starbucks roast their beans over a nuclear reactor to get them as dark as possible.

4 bags delivered 2 days after ordering. All roasted on the 9th of Oct.

Their Sweet Sorrento I just finished off was excellent

The Haven · 14-10-2020 04:21PM

Just started with my first order:
v60, brazil coffee from B+D, using normal kettle.
Hmm, nice coffee taste, but lack of flavours - so my technique needs plenty of practice.
Onwards to tasting plenty of coffee around the world

Hodors Appletart · 14-10-2020 06:56PM

it could be just brazilian coffee being good at being coffee flavoured

but do watch the hoffman v60 video

Aye looked at that, but started off with 15g / 250ml ...
I might tweak it, but will stay with that for a few coffees first.

Bigbooty · 14-10-2020 09:58PM

I brew with the V60 pretty much everyday and you need a gooseneck kettle for pour over brewing - you've no control over your pouring with a standard kettle. Do you use filtered water? Tap water is for the most part gross for brewing coffee. Keeping as many variables as possible the same will give you consistently good cups.

I use 30 mg for 380 ml of coffee and it's not hugely strong (to my taste). Try more coffee and definitely a goose necked kettle.

The Haven · 15-10-2020 04:25PM

I'll see, yeah I do need to tweak it.
Just starting with 250g bag, before I use 1k bags etc

Pulled the trigger on Green Bean. 4 for 3 is hard to ignore. Ordered:
* Jaggy Loko
* Tiger Paw
* Sweet Sorrento
* Decaf Dream

2kg for almost the same price as 1kg of WCC..

Lombardo123 · 17-10-2020 07:40AM

I've ordered few different varieties over the last whole.

Coffee Angel: very good service, free delivery and coffee is great. My standard offering.

Bean In Dingle: Came recommended and was delicious if not little expensive.

Upside coffee: Best of the group for a long coffee.

Thinking of cloud picker next, any other suggestions?

Try bailies, I believe they supply coffee angel with their beans

Bought a 6 week Espresso sub from Bailies - not a great start ... same bean 2 weeks in a row

A bean called Nota - a bit meh.

Ponaire have fixed their subscriptions - which offer a nice discount!
1kg of beans a month for €25 including postage.

How much is the bailies sub? Nota is only 5.50 sterling a bag

Good to see that from Ponaire.

Just finished my Indian blend. It's nice, but I think the Connoisseur is a better blend for my requirements. So I'll stick to that for my next order.

Will be starting into the bag of Sumatra Single Origin now on Monday. Looking forward to it.
