I also have that coupon. I think I ordered the Connoisseur, European and Mexican Jag a while back. Toying with ordering the Mexican lion boy

I debated ordering the Lion Boy. Maybe next time. You should order it in the interest of research for the thread

Iv tried a few of the Mexican beans from different roasters and I'm never particularly impressed, especially given they are usually more expensive

Ponaire kindly sent me a code for a fiver off (free delivery in practice) so I ordered a Colombian, Nicaraguan and Peruvian at 2am yesterday. It's being delivered this morning.

Same here , got Colombian.
Beans were very fresh . Dark roast . Nothing special apart from freshness.
You’ll get very same bean at M&S ,similar roast profile too ( M&S used to have medium roast for this bean , I did like it a lot , not anymore though)

I ordered the Conneusieur, Bob o Link and Mexican Lion Boy, arrived on Thursday.
The Mexican is quite nice. The only problem is it has me singing that stupid Mumford and Sons song at 8am in the morning.

Anyone tried Chinese coffee? See Cloudpicker have their first Chinese bean atm: https://cloudpickercoffee.ie/collections/filter/products/china-banka-natural?variant=39466163470485

Hodors Appletart · 28-03-2021 08:32PM

bloke I know in the UK was raving about one the other week.

KnicksInSix · 28-03-2021 08:47PM

I just bought a second box of the Banka Natural from Cloudpicker, it's a beautiful coffee packed with incredible strawberry and floral tea kind of notes.

killbillvol2 · 28-03-2021 10:06PM

I drank a lot of local coffee in Yunnan, good stuff. I'll have to pick up some of this.

Yup, I bought banka natural and washed from manifesto in Edinburgh. Really enjoyed both but I preferred the natural one as it was more unique. Interesting comparing both.

The washed was quite sweet(plum) with delicate notes of black tea while the natural was chocolate and really big hit of red wine. Would be keen try it again so I'll grab another one from cloudpicker this week.

Bell Lane have been counting down to this launch tomorrow - https://www.instagram.com/p/CM_eaqsgpAp/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

I really don't know enough about processing to understand this but sounds like a big deal form the marketing anyway!

Way too many good coffee roasters these days - need to up my consumption

:p

Bigbooty · 30-03-2021 12:29PM

Got some of that Diego burmedez coffee myself. Hopefully it lives up to the hype. I love experimentally processed coffee and I was looking to order it after hearing good things.

Danger781 · 30-03-2021 11:53PM

Any decent offers anywhere at the moment? Down to my last 250g bag so need to stock up...

breeno · 31-03-2021 12:24AM

Got an order from Ariosa this morning. Ordered Sunday evening so a good turnaround. Free delivery over 25 quid is good too.

Went for their house espresso blend as well as "Cabin Fever" and "Perfect Everyday". One was roasted on 29/03 and the others 23/03 so nice and fresh.

Tried the perfect everyday and it's a nice medium everyday coffee as described.

Bean west have an easter selection with free delivery over €25 with Free25 code:
https://www.beanwestcoffee.com/store/p55/easterselection.html

adrian522 · 31-03-2021 12:57PM

Seems to be the exact same price as buying the beans seperately, i.e no discount on that "Easter Selection Box". Also spelling Colombia with a 'U'

Another Irish roaster with pricing so great I can't help looking elsewhere and finding more for less.

Sorry just saw it on insta and presumed it was a special!

caviardreams · 31-03-2021 08:38PM

Found a couple of new to me places

Bad Habits (Naas) https://badhabitscoffee.ie/shop/

Pine Cone (Baker's corner - Dublin I think!) https://pineconecoffee.ie/

Hodors Appletart · 01-04-2021 08:04AM

That Trio selection for 30 quid at Pinecone look a good deal.

Bigbooty · 01-04-2021 01:17PM

Roasted yesterday, delivered today. That's some turn around from bell lane. Unless they have a secret roastery in the DPD depot.

colhickey · 01-04-2021 07:14PM

Couple of new-ish roasters that I have come across and keep going back to:

Tra Coffee Roasters (Tramore)
Blue Butterfly (Waterford)

Bit partial to the Tra Colombian myself.

We have tried both as well and liked them.

killbillvol2 · 01-04-2021 08:42PM

Blue Butterfly don't roast their own coffee though?

BonnieSituation · 01-04-2021 11:26PM

Got my latest delivery from AOC this morning.

2*250g of the Smooth blend and one bag of Nina. got some Irish Breakfast tea an their Ice Ice Baby fruit tea while I was at it.

Also grabbed their last bar of Valrhona White chocolate. It's a glorious thing.

10% off the Congolese beans at WCC:
https://westcorkcoffee.ie/shop/congo

10% code: BH10

Valid until 23:59 Monday

Have to say, trying a few different coffees recently and some have come out weak in Cappucinos etc.

Based on bean density (Going on what google says, higher density = lighter roast), seems i have had some light roasts. Maybe I should have played more with the temp changes etc.

Would really love if sites would give some more info on their products, roast, intensity, recommendations for brew etc.

Finding myself going back to tried and tested rather than trying new now.

Not online I know, but worth mentioning:
I have a card for Musgraves (big wholesale cash 'n carry). I called into their Ballymun store.
They have about 10 to 15 types of beans, all at very good prices. e.g. starting from €10/kg. But more commercial then a lot of the more exotic offerings we usually talk about here.
I bought the following:
1kg South Coast Coffee Rebel Espresso Blend.
1kg Douwe Egberts Barista Editions Rich Espresso.
1kg Eduscho Espresso.
I can't remember the exact prices, but IIRC they were all in the €10-€15 range.
I'll be using these for Cappucinos & Americanos. I look forward to trying them!

Freshly roasted with a roasted on date?

There's a big difference between freshly roasted and commercial supermarket coffee. Very few here are looking for cheaper coffee, myself I pay €28 per kilo for my regular but it's roasted the day I order it.

Good point sir.
Batch numbers, but no specific roasting dates.
Best-before dates only: March 2022, Aug 2021, March 2022.
I'll get me coat ðŸ˜
But I'll be interested to see if there is much of a difference against my recent fresh online purchases from McCabes, Ponaire, and Ariosa.
