Freshly roasted coffee beans online

That Forsa Gala is good stuff.The last thing you want is a full kilo of bad coffee to torment you for a month or two (or more)

Would you commit for 6 months? Wcc have a 6 month singe origin sub for €204 including delivery - €34 per month essentially. Always excellent bean and you would get a new coffee every month to try.

Box arrived this morning, really cant fault 1kg of Lavazza gustoso for a tenner

Dolce gusto pods for here were 1xpistachio latte and 1 x tiramisu latte, tried one of each and not bad with a shot added

Nice idea but wow that's pricey. 360g for €24.95 + €4.95 p&p 😮

I've not tried Soma coffee, are they actually worth that price?

Ah yes, it was yourself that recommended WCC a while back. Consistently good coffee there for sure, I see they have another Guatemala there so time to replenish!

Just this month I got my 1kg sub bag in a resealable bag from WCC - woohoo!

I enjoy Artessa Fusion Blend for my milky coffees these days

Philips bean to cup and milky coffees?

Dark roast would work better for you.

or I say , nothing but dark roast would work at all.

Philips known for tiny brewing unit , only could take up to 8g coffee AFAIK. ( 14g for Delonghi, 18g Melita or Jura)

What choice do you have ?

Did you buy it at Amazon with 30 days free return? I would replace it with Delonghi or Melita ( maybe less reliable than Delonghi, but coffee taste much better.)

ps.with Darker roast you set grinder to the coarse settings and going up to fine with medium.

( every bean to cup works this way AFAIK)

Yeah B&D do great coffee - how versed are you in beans? The different processing methods? Washed, Natural etc

My advice would be to start with their Fairy Floss blend, which is a blend of Washed and Natural Ethiopian beans - it's normally a great coffee. Then have a look at their single origin. Work your way through the different offerings, compare a Washed Ethiopian to a Natural, compare South American v African beans, compare the growing elevations.

Nice one. I'll tell you how my journey went.

When I got into proper coffee I hadn't a clue what I was doing, so I asked someone to get me a year long subscription for my birthday. Each month two new bags of beans would arrive from a roaster, along with tasting notes, description of the processing method, details of where the coffee was grown and things like that.

I liked it so much, I renewed for a second year - after that I felt I knew enough about what I liked or didn't like, how to interpret the information presented on the different roasters websites, I was confident enough to start ordering for myself, based on what I like instead of relying on the roaster to choose for me, and also if I spot something that looks a bit different or something I haven't tried before I might get that along with something I know I'll like.

It's a great hobby, and my other advice would be to get used to drinking something other than coffee in other people's houses if they aren't "proper" coffee drinkers like you are about to become. Does that sound snobby? Yeah it does, but you are definitely about to become a coffee snob, so embrace it early. That also applies to coffee shops and cafes by the way.

Lovely stuff, I've found that Brazilian coffee isn't for me really, but I do go back to it if I see a Natural, or Honey Process or something like that. Brazilian and Columbian coffees, especially Washed ones, are maligned (I think) because they offer the more traditional coffee flavour profile, they aren't really "exciting" enough, if that makes sense.

I love East African coffees, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Kenya all produce amazing coffees, I really especially love the natural process ones. Loads of weird and wonderful flavour profiles there.

Recently I've been enjoying Central and South American honey process coffees, they are a bit more expensive so not every month, but the odd time they are worth checking out.

Here you go , very good blend for beginner

Buy 1kg bags , keep them in the freezer.

It is creamy, simple, every day bean , medium roast .

Stay away from complex ( floral/fruit) beans for now , until learn something.

Don't bother with milk until you could pull few decent espresso in a row.

yeah I contacted them, and they said they were waiting for some green beans to arrive.

Fair enough, but they offered me a full refund, which I wasn't looking for - I just asked them to continue with the order, and they said they'd throw in an extra bag. Half an hour later, I got confirmation it's shipped, they use GLS so I wonder if it will arrive tomorrow.

Thing is, I'm running low on my supply at the moment, so I'll have to go and buy some in the local coffee shop and freeze whatever arrives from WCC.

Wow, I must be doing something wrong but my best WCC order was 5 days and worst was 6 days confirmation to delivery. But....they are always as fresh as can be so I don't mind in the slightest.

I do also normally order a selection too so that in itself could slow the process if they are possibly roasting to order.
