Coffee Bargains

Illy beans aren't bad for chucking into an office bean to cup machine. Only if there on offer though since price wise they often seem to be comparable to the cheaper bags of Irish roasters.

Over roasted mediocre coffee imo. And its ground.

I do like the tins though. Have a kinda retro feel to them.

I find Illy grand. Granted it is ground but Ive always got excellent crema from it. I do think it is over priced at almost 9 euro for 250g, you might as well buy freshly roasted beans at that price point. But at 5.50 its a good deal plus the tins are vacumn sealed so last ages.

Illy dark roast cans of beans are grand for me

Also, the cans are well made and useful for other things once empty

Anyone try the Lidl Whole Bean Coffee ? if So, what are your thoughts ?

https://www.lidl.ie/en/p/bigger-savings-xxl/bellarom-whole-bean-coffee-xxl/p45808

I did not think it was great and id drink anything. They have one for 7.99 thats a lot better in my opinion.

Has anyone tried any of the bean types that Aldi have added to their 'Specially Selected' offering ?

( packets showing BBE Sept 21 - perhaps roasted Sept 20 ? )

Note d'Espresso Cremoso Coffee Beans 1000g x 2 pack

No offense, and I know this is a bargains thread, but I'll be avoiding Amazon at all costs (literally) and will try to support local.

You better avoid those foreign coffees as well and only buy locally grown

Touché

I get most of my coffee from a roaster in Luxembourg. If you buy 2.25 Kg at a time, they work out cheaper than buying locally including shipping.

Have you a link to share?

Any recommendations

Any of their Ethiopians (Äthiopien) I have tried, which is probably most at this point

I’m just sort of working my way through the whole catalogue and have yet to find something I wouldn’t hesitate to order again. They do some assortment sets which I haven’t tried but suspect I should.

The first two I listed are standouts for me, the Indian pearlbean being particularly strong and flavoursome. I tend to order 4 x 500g plus one 250g. I'll be reordering the Mexico and Kolumian again, which are currently on hand and getting low. My main problem is I just want them all.

I am not sure if it makes a difference, but there's a location tab top left which I always set to Luxembourg. I'm not sure it makes a difference but the mswt/VAT is only 2.3% and I want to ensure thats the rate I get.

I'll pass on that and stick to paying £31.60 a kilo.

Potentially a silly question, but are Christmas blends typically different to other blends or just a bit of Marketing?

they usually make them a bit more appealing to more people
