Freshly roasted coffee beans online

You are absolutely right,most of the fresh espresso blends will do .

You might switch to espresso/americano some day,so you could appreciate single origin then otherwise you just wasting expensive beans.

Same as mixing Middleton Very Rare whiskey with Coke,I guess.

that's an even better analogy when you think about Natural Process coffees, I've just opened a bag on Square Mile Nensibo, from Ethiopia, and the aroma from the bag is a beautiful cherry liqueur sweet.

What's people thinking of the coffee angel blends that were on sale recently.

Do far tried 2 of them in my b2c as americanos and fairly unimpressed. Needing 2 shots to get any flavour from them.

Can't remember which ones.

I had the Su Beatha as a filter and it was lovely - a nice solid bean, even if nothing unusual or standout, which is what I kind of expect from a house blend to be honest

It's roasted / sourced from Bailies so probably a comparable level to their blends like Pendo, Umbra etc

OK I see Paypal option now.

What's good from them?

Yeah I wonder is this really premium level coffee or have the prices been hiked up for the sake of the sale?

The KG prices are crazy.

I got 4 bags for 63e.

I remember having a coffee in there shortly after they opened but the beans were expensive so this is a nice deal.

That comment is quite unfair. Yes they are expensive, and being a newbie to all this, I haven't had a chance to purchase from other vendors yet- but their pricing is similar to coffee angel (for house blends) for example

(I've no connection to them, beyond having had a coffee there a couple of times)

Not sure if it's just me but I find coffee in Ireland to be quite pricey especially compared to the UK. Possibly down to the large number of coffee roasters so they have to remain competitively priced or perhaps the exchange rate becoming more favourable recently, but there's a lot of decent coffee about for under £10 for a bag.

My last order was from the Czech republic. Lovely coffe but the shipping ended up being a bit too costly and took too long. I'm hoping to get around to putting in an order today with my more usual roaster which is located in the Black Forrrest area of Germany. Another frequented roaster is in Luxembourg. I find the quality of these suppliers products to be more consistentently high with no dissapointments.

These days I only order from Irish roasters when it's some significant special pricing and I happen to be about to put in an order.

Interesting. I'm assuming it's keenly priced taking shipping into account as well?

The other one is Mondo Del Caffe nominally in Luxembourg but seems likely a German concern: https://www.mondodelcaffe.de/produkt-kategorie/kaffees/

Shipping cost is higher but the choice is far larger. Their current €412 per Kg offering I have never seen before and is very unusal for them. That has got to be taking the piss?

"We are very pleased to have succeeded in purchasing a small quantity of Bourbon Pointu / Grand Cru from the island of Réunion. We received 10 kg of this exceptional coffee. About 8 kg of roasted coffee is unfortunately only available from this rarity.

For several decades it has not been possible to get this coffee at all. It is only thanks to the efforts of dedicated farmers that coffee cultivation on the island has experienced a kind of revival since the 2000s. But what makes Bourbon Pointu so special?

For one thing, it is the unique climate of the island of Réunion - with a mixture of sun and rainfall that is ideal for coffee cultivation - and the terroir. Bourbon Pointu is planted on the slopes of the Piton des Neiges volcano. The variety / plant species used (Bourbon Point de Réunion) is extremely rare - and for a short time was considered practically extinct. This variety is naturally low in caffeine with a moderate body in the cup and finely fruity, flowery characteristics.

Yet even King Louis XV and his court particularly appreciated coffee from Réunion around the year 1700. The whole soul of the small island nation would express itself in the cup of coffee, which was considered particularly fine and multi-faceted even then.

The Bourbon Pointu is still harvested by hand and then fully washed. This ensures that only ripe cherries enter the preparation process. After processing, the pergaminos are dried in the sun, then peeled and packed in boxes or jute bags for transport to the roastery.

Réunion Bourbon Pointu Grand Cru is a coffee with a protected designation of origin. The coffee is checked again with a near-infrared spectrometer before export / dispatch to the roastery. If all chemical values and the quality of the green coffee are correct, it may be sold with the designation Réunion Bourbon Pointu. Grand Cru is the highest quality level.

Sorry guys, that's still a pass. I wouldn't care if every bean was hand wrapped in gold leaf.

I'm not so much after low price as I am high and consistent quality at a fair price. I have bought several different coffees from Irish roasters in an order, and been disappointed at a lack of differentiation in the taste. Adams and Russel in the UK was like that too. Their Tiger Stripes was superb, but then the other 3 would be indistinct.

Ordered 1kg of house blend from Barracks, €23 shipped. Just to see what it’s like. Yet to be shipped!

I ordered and got no email or nothing, checked spam, nothing there.

Anyone else still waiting for an order and heard nothing?

They had some issues around promo codes not being applied and extended their dates.Maybe give them a phone call.I described above how I got 1kg for the price of 250g .Lady on phone said they were flat out busy...
