i'm going to, but they say on their webpage it needs signing for or will be returned, and they deliver wednesday/friday and i'll be at work. i'll be able to order sometimes, but was hoping to find somewhere to pick up the odd bag when ordering doesn't work

Parcel Motel? That's what I use.

thanks guys, appreciate the suggestions. most of the time i 'll figure out a way to get an order delivered when i am home, so i don't want to go down the parcel motel route. i was jsut hoping there was a shop somewhere so that if i suddenly emptied the grinder on a thurday i could pop into a shop on friday to stock up for the weekend.

i can get ponaire in my local supermarket anyway in Killaloe anyway, so not a huge deal, but have been enjoying the B&D a bit more lately

Just went into Starbucks in Stillorgan and bought five 250g bags of coffee beans (1 of each type) for €28. I suspect I could have got a better coffee bean elsewhere cheaper.

I've a burr grinder for a French Press. Where in Dublin has good coffee beans reasonably priced? And of the beans available in mainstream supermarkets, what is the best quality and price? Thanks.

5.50 euro for bag of 250grams of Nicks coffee , plus they give you any coffee for free.

I know coffee in a can sounds slightly off topic - but with the weather like it is and Nitrogen and cold coffee sounds like such an exotic mix...
Does anyone know where to get a can of Nescafe Nitro?

I've tried tesco and dunnes websites with no luck.

it's definitely off topic in a thread called "Bricks and Mortar Sellers of Speciality Coffee + Equipment"

Marks&Spancers Colombian coffee beans , quality may vary from batch to batch , but it is defenetely one of the best mainstream beans.

I find the Deluxe Costa Rica beans that appear every so often in LIDL quite good - a 500g bag for €4.99 I think. Better than their Italiamo beans

Well it's definitely speciality coffee, and i've seen it in a brick and mortar in a Dunnes store. Although it was in a separate giant containers at the end of one of the aisles so might just be special offer introduction test thing.

If you are looking for better beans , you might as well try some different brewing methods.
Hario V60 or AeroPress for instance.

Managed to get a couple in Dunnes. Had to ask for them to be brought from storeroom-They had 2 for 4 Euros offer when I scanned them- but wasn’t advertised anywhere.
Didn’t like the Americano... Too bitter.
The Late was ok- interesting experience with fizz- I don’t normally take sugar so it seemed a bit sweet. Milk tasted slightly uht style. Cans much smaller than I expected- ok for 2 Euros but not more.

Inside it had the same plastic nitrogen widget the Guinness used to have.

Speciality yes - but not gourmet by any standards.

Might buy again if weather is hot and I can get one.

Just went down there this morning and joined the queue outside. Bought the 1kg brown bag and it has some white seal clip on the bag but what do I need to do to seal the coffee and keep it fresh? I've opened it but that white clip isn't sealing it.

alec76 · 07-10-2018 7:51pm

Bought one of those recently, 15£ delivered . Definitely keeps beans fresher than airtight jar.

Anyone know of a B&M store in Dublin that sells a blind filter?

s3rtvdbwfj81ch · 25-11-2018 11:21pm

anyone know of anywhere around D11, 9, 7, 5 areas selling decent fresh coffee beans?

mad m · 26-11-2018 12:12am

Silverskin coffee roasters

Unit 13 Blackwater Road Glasnevin, Blackwater Rd, Dublin Industrial Estate, Dublin 11

You can ring owner and go in and collect anything from 250g to 1kg. He has some lovely stuff plus he may give you a free coffee...

s3rtvdbwfj81ch · 26-11-2018 11:55am

that's amazing thanks

I've had their stuff before, thanks

s3rtvdbwfj81ch · 29-11-2018 12:17pm

Was around in Silverskin just now, he did indeed give me a coffee while I was there

The one he gave me to drink was a Colombian Caturra, Finca La Argentina, it's very nice. He gave me about 100g of the beans as a "sample" to take home.

I told him I liked light to medium roasts, so the others I bought he picked out for me.

I got a Yirgacheffe, a Red Bourbon from Rwanda "Nyamasheke" and a blend of Arusha and Typica from Papua New Guinea.

Looking forward to these.

mad m · 29-11-2018 7:00pm

Yeah, he is a great bloke to deal with. Glad you got sorted.

forumdedum · 07-09-2023 1:04pm

I have a Sage Barista pro for several years. I'm thinking of upgrading. Apart from Arnotts, Harvey Norman etc is there a store I can walk into and talk coffee machines? Something like the Rocket Appartemento.

Thank you

Very unlikely. But worth asking, they might have such a facility.
