This looks like something special on WCC - Peruvian Cup of Excellence (they only have one sack in stock so will go fast). Would be on this if I hadn't just ordered 1.5kg from Good Bean!

10% code: ELVIS
... until Sunday 23:59

€40 a kg, discount code brings it to €36

Is that a high end coffee?

With WCC it usually is tbf.

Got some more Good Bean there. Can't bate it with that discount.

AOC will have to wait another fortnight.

We should sticky this. Great resource for anyone looking to step up from preground supermarket coffee. He really makes consistently great content.

He has a dedicated reddit subforum now and posts on it himself. His stuff is informative, but the forum has gone the way of most of reddit and being a w@nky circle jerk of weirdness and slightly obsessive meme makers

Did a certain Mr Hoffman turn you down? :pac: Dont think this forum is obsessed and If it is I haven't seen it. He is entertaining/informative and he makes speciality coffee more accessible. Can't speak for Reddit though. People that post obsessively on there are odd anyway and I don't think that is necessarily his fault. It's a great intro to buying better beans which is bloody overwhelming at first.

Just opened the ethiopian limu from Good Bean that arrived yesterday (roasted 2.5 weeks ago so not bad). Very nice - smooth and light. Could see myself going back to this given its price point. Looking forward to trying the blends next.

NATLOR · 22-05-2021 1:10pm

I ordered over 2kg from the good bean and was left short 3 bags. E mailed them yesterday and got no answer. First time to use them,not a good start

22-05-2021 1:22pm

Must say it's handy that I can get velo in Dunnes to tide me over while I await my imbibe order.

Try their Instagram. They’re fairly responsive on that. They’re also on Facebook

I was left two bags short too - hopefully will hear back on Monday (I emailed them also)

That's pretty poor from them I would have expected some communication to say they were short, will see what happens on Monday

It's nothing to do with him. There was an endless amount of **** posting after the bripe video and then endless amounts of aeropress begging posts too for ages rather than anything informative

Still better than the coffee subreddit which can be openly hostile

The espresso one is as bad. Any posts asking about starter setups are met with "bro you have to spend MINIMUM 2k or it's not worth your time".

I saw a weird one on that forum where a fourteen year old was asking for feedback on his setup... He had a 300 euro plus manual grinder. :O I think the more global you go, the weirder the stuff you'll see.

Ordered from 3fe on Thursday, arrived today, 2 Bolivian blend, a Mexican and a Rwandan, opened Mexican straight away and loved it... Highly recommend it

Dtp1979 · 22-05-2021 8:59pm

The good bean guy told me that the people missing bags should receive them Monday

Had a Mexican that I got from reference/meet me in the morning last year. Bloody great so it was.

Unicorn Milk Latte · 23-05-2021 12:55am

Anam coffee here in the Burren is fantastic.

I've tried several of his coffees over the last year, all very good, but the 'Mustafa Mohammed Ali' Ethiopian he offered a little while ago was outstanding.

I don't really pay attention to his fans so I guess I never really noticed. The coffee subreddit is so bad. Haven't been in their in years after I posted how I preferred the cup from the ceramic over the plastic V60 which didn't go down well. Who gives people agro over something like that?

On a side note which is also probably an unpopular opinion but the aeropress is massively overrated. No idea why people were so desperate for him to do a brew guide.

NATLOR · 24-05-2021 6:30pm

Got the balance of my good bean order today so all good

please don't take this as me being "agro" with you, but they are 2 fairly contrarian opinions that you hold, so they may get people's backs up a bit, especially on the internet where people are a bit more forceful (as you yourself seem to be

)

Not at all. Theres a difference between agro and discussion. I always appreciate the latter. My gripe with the aeropress is personal - badly burnt myself

a bad workman and all that..

Anyone get the 25% off COLOMBIA NARINO Finca La Piedra from Art Of Coffee. 1kg is €44 , down to €33 with voucher. Anyone tried this bean?

I got that email, how is it for espresso? The advert says filter

Yeah was wondering, Fusion out of stock!

Dammit, I could do with ordering this week. I usually like to leave it sit for at least 5 days

Yes, hoping to try this in another couple of weeks. Delighted to see it's a light roast as I'm using filter. Coupon is good till June 14th I think so will hold off for a bit and use up what I have.

dubstepper · 25-05-2021 10:26am

I wasn't mad on the AOC fusion blend. Preferred their Lounge one. Have bought a few bags from them recently so going to try something different next time.

25-05-2021 10:38am

AOC being out of Fusion gives me a chance to try something new so I've ordered this instead
https://www.beanwestcoffee.com/store/p11/arabicaintenso.html#/
Free shipping on over 25 means I can get 1kg delivered for 25 which is very reasonable, I'll buy more if I like it. I always ordered 2x 1kg on AOC to get free shipping

Have tried the Bean West Honduran and liked it - super fast service from them too. Roast is a bit dark for me so I'd say it would be even better for espresso.

26-05-2021 8:13am

Bean West coffee arrived at my door this morning by Fastway with a roast date of 21st may and a nice hand written thank you note. Brownie points awarded!

I'll not open the bag for a good few days I've half a bag of Fusion to get through.

Hodors Appletart · 26-05-2021 8:21am

that's smashing service!

caviardreams · 27-05-2021 6:29pm

I see Good Bean do a custom blend option! Nice :-)
https://www.goodbeancoffees.com/products/custom-blend

Wasn't gone on the Cheeky Monkey but really enjoying the Deep & Meaningful blend as a filter (in fairness the cheeky monkey is an espresso blend)

What’s the difference? I’m not up on these coffee terms

An espresso blend is designed for making espresso-based drinks and usually a darker roast - a medium roast is usually better for filter brewing like V60, French press, pour over etc.

I assume espresso dark roast is stronger, ie caffeine wise?

To my knowledge the roasting process doesn't affect the caffeine level much, so a longer/darker roast wouldn't have more caffeine

Hodors Appletart · 27-05-2021 8:08pm

actually it does, and it's the opposite - lighter roasts have more caffeine

Stronger flavour, slightly less caffeine than a light roast was my understanding.

That's where I've been going wrong so

Also though, Espresso will have have more caffeine per mg/ml of brewed liquid than a pour over. So if you're drink an espresso, it's most definitely going to be a bigger hit of caffeinne than a sipping a pour over for a bit longer.

I tried some robusta beans recently. An espresso made with them and I was wired.
