    anyone get the Imbibe email this month? The Ethiopian in particular sounds very intriguing

    Yeah, I've been sucked in again. The early heads up email to build hype/interest is incredibly effective in marketing it to me!

    Looking forward to trying both as I don't really drink Brazilian coffees so will be nice try something different.

    Yup I have no need for it at the moment with a couple kilos of beans in the freezer but they convinced me anyways with the tasting notes.

    Have bought from their coffee club before and also just off the site and have been disappointed compared to cheaper beans from other roasters.
    Kind of showed me that what the experts consider to be really good coffee may not be great for me

    Anything particularly good, or any deals going, from the Irish roasters at the minute?

    Just finished since lovely natural Honduran from Bailies.

    Dreambeans are doing four bags for price of three and you can use 15CLUB discount code too for further 15% off (if it's your "first" order)

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    Rule of the coffee forum: if you use a discount code that somebody posts or a tip, you need to report back on how the coffee was :D:D

    Hey guys, recently bought a cheap and cheerful Swan espresso machine from lidl. I bought the grinder but haven't the foggiest idea where to start coffee wise.

    Can anybody recommend something strong to give a lad a good wake up in the morning. Now I would be adding a wee bit of foamy milk to the top of it. Have tried a COSTA pre grinded pack, a few of the Marley Coffee company beans but nothing really hitting the spot.

    I am running Formation blend from cloudpicker right now - very good in milk based in my opinion.

    Great offer thanks - just ordered a few bags! Pity they don't do the decaf online.

    Code worked for me - just take the quotes off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,023 ✭✭✭ActingDanClark


    I've tried 20%off!
    20%off
    20%OFF
    And 20% off
    No joy!
    I was buying 1 920g bag and qualified for free shipping, thought maybe I'd need to buy 2 for free shipping and discount but no joy! I guess it ain't to be !!

    if you're using an entry-level machine and more importantly same with grinder it's more than a bit of a waste buying the freshest of the freshly roasted beans as you're just not going to be getting anywhere near the most out of them, ESPECIALLY in espresso grind, particularly more subtle blends

    decent espresso grinders cost a bit (few hundred for a reasonable one) and go into the thousands for really good ones.

    similar for an entry-level espresso machine

    by all means go ahead but try also these sort of beans (buy min 4 kg for postage efficiency) to compare - they are good and hugely cheaper and work better in lower-end hardware

    Cant get free shipping if I use the code....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,922 ✭✭✭✭Dtp1979


    They’re on Instagram too if you’d like to contact them directly. They’re very helpful


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,922 ✭✭✭✭Dtp1979


    Ok the decaf should be available shortly

    Not working for me either


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 99 ✭✭Gforcemurphy


    It worked for me but that then deactivated the free shipping (had two bags in cart). Either it’s an unintended error or a case of “giveth with one hand...” 🙂

    I am running Formation blend from cloudpicker right now - very good in milk based in my opinion.

    Not affiliated with Cloud Picker but the Formation blend is making the nicest Cappuccinos I have had from my SAGE BE.

    19.5g Dose, 39g out (The BE has an 18g basket for reference). Easy dial in.

    The missus is not a coffee fan but has enjoyed a few with this blend, great chocolate/caramel flavour.

    I collect from Roastery in Crumlin (Roast date within last 2 days)
