    Such waste of timber though.
    I’ve tried one of them last year ,Honduras , I think .
    Thick crema in espresso but so tasteless....

    It's so bad that it shouldn't even be called coffee.

    Please all; it's a coffee bargains thread. If you've found a good value purchase then post a link.

    There are plenty of other threads to flog the dead horse.

    Perhaps you could apply a rule that anyone putting forth a negative opinion about a 'bargain' coffee should be required to supply the name and source of a coffee which they think is better for the same price or lower.

    Wouldn't work. A coffee being 'better' is all down to personal taste and preference. As an example; a poster might think a teabag is a better value option than Lidl's barrel coffee and thus more arguments would ensue further derailing the thread.

    I hope you get what I mean but please drop me a PM to discuss it further if required. I'm hoping this thread can return to it's intended purpose.

    Just looking at Ponaire subscription, they only have 500g or 1k per month and works out at €13 a month for 6 months but you are getting 500g for the €13. You can choose different types of coffee also from their selection when your month is nearly up.

    Is there much difference in taste between bailies espresso coffee and the microlot coffee?

    It says the microlot is best served filtered etc.

    No idea but the Amazon listing is funny. 449 on it's own but 659 if bought together with 1kg of Lavazza.

    Its great coffee, no doubt about it

    I grabbed a bag of Machu Picchu blend. They’re ok but nothing to write home about. Grand for a milky drink but darkish roast so not really my thing for espresso or filter.

    Good value if you do like a dark roast though as I’ve had a lot worse dark roast beans than these.

    I've seen some specialty single origin beans in Aldi today.
    Roasted by The Studio Coffee Roasters in Meath 2 weeks ago ( there is actual roasting date at the back ) 200g bags,under €4
    Anyone tried them?
    Ok , got Tanzania Mutawari AB beans roasted 12 AUGUST for €3.60-3.80.
    Very creamy,medium roast , tones of flavour, good for espresso, definitely worth buying.
    I had worse beans than that which cost me 3 times more.

    just curious, how do you prepare it,
    I had it in a cappuccino and though it was very nice. Are you buying beans and grinding yourself & what way are you drinking it?

    I got it in a restaurant in Rathmines. Farmer brownes. Got an americano. Badger and dodo have instructions on their site.


    Recommended dial-in as follows:
    18g at 28 seconds on espresso to yield 40 grams double shot
    60g/L, 90deg, 2:30 infusion is plenty in any brew or filter device

    I’m thinking of buying a kg bag of that blend though. Full beans. I have a Mahlkönig Vario Home V3 grinder

    Any benefit in opting for the "special offer" of 3 x 227g (681g) for €18 over a 1kg bag of the same coffee for €19?

    Buying by the kilo will always be cheaper on any site

    The benefit for me is I would rather choose 3 different bags than be limited to one large bag that I might not like. I may go the kilo route after I've tried most of whats available
