I've ordered from them twice and gotten within 48 hours. I wonder is the variation in timing linked in part to which days they roast?

I just had an Arabic coffee in a Syrian restaurant here in Cork.

It's life Jim, but not as we know it.

Without doubt, it was the weirdest coffee that I've ever tasted. The wife nearly threw up when she tasted it 😂

It's an acquired taste!

It's strong and black with what's best described as sludge in the bottom of the cup. Often drunk very sweet. I like it.

Yeah, read up about it after I questioned it.

Stopped ordering from Bailies, as the last order I received from them had a roast date more than four weeks previous. They gave me a 20% off voucher, but that doesn't cut it for me, if you're paying for a premium freshly roasted product.

Just ordered from Coffeemojo.ie for the first time in a long while (they weren't roasting at the height of the covid-19 pandemic), and they only roast on Mondays, so doesn't always suit, but always really enjoyed the coffee I got from them. Free postage over €40, so ended up buying 1kg + 2 x 250g, for €43.50 delivered, which works out at a pretty reasonable* €7.25/250g.

(* by Irish standards).

Stopped with Baillies too and friends I recommended them to previously have also stopped for the same reasons

It genuinely smelled and tasted like there was perfume in it.
Similar to Turkish coffee in that there's coffee/sludge at the bottom but really isn't like coffee at all.

I didn't add any sugar, perhaps that's what you're supposed to do

I got 2 x 1kg recently - one was about a week old which was fine given delivery time etc. - the other was two weeks which was disappointing tbh.

Good shout on coffee mojo krusty - been years since I ordered from them so might give them a whirl :-)

There might have been cardamon in it. Another acquired taste!

I ordered from Bailies on Weds, roasted Thurs, delivered on Friday. Can't ask for better than that really.

Nope, fastway don't know where the parcel is. Absolutely useless courier though. They're sending a new order and said I could get it posted or delivered to their cafe as a one off. I am luckily around the corner from the cafe tomorrow.

I'd bought some 3fe beans when passing them in the meantime, so was okay for the week.

Has anyone bought anything from Ponaire? Not sure if i've seen them mentioned here, but came across their site. Would like an opinion before i pull the trigger!!

I got my laat two orders from them based on a recommendation here for their Sumatra. Very fast delivery and roasted either the day I ordered or the day before.

Good to know. And the coffee?

mossym

i'm only a few miles from Ponaire, my wife is actually there right now picking up a couple of kg bags for me as i'm on the last few beans in the house. i normally used B&D but the last couple of times gave ponaire a go (used to get theeir stuff a few years back but not used in a while). Very impressed, the sumatra as mentioned is a lovely coffee, especially if you like a stronger coffee. i've gone for a nicaraguan and a guatamelan this time to try different. overall though would recommend.

Slattsy

Thats all i wanted to hear. I like to try a lot of places.

just received my WCC Burundi - roasted on 14th Aug

also included was a 50g sample of some Bolivian Caturra

Used Ponaire a good few times and will agree the Sumatran is excellent, in fact none of their coffees disappoint but the Sumatran stands out.

Not opened those yet, still have a few grams left of my previous bag - their Guatemala La Bella which is very nice.

Went for the Colombia Totoro and the Ethiopia Yabitu Koba this time. I think they do a good selection and the prices are very reasonable, especially when they are doing a discount. I used the 15% discount so these 2 cost me around €18.50, including the postage.

I still await a sample from WCC.

Let us know what you think of the Caturra when you get a chance.

I've had a few Caturras from Bailies over the years, I'm very indifferent to Latin American coffees tbh

I would be the same myself. But I will take a decent latin american recommendation from someone with a taste for that Burundian.

Cool, so I did an aero 15/250 again - same method as with the Burundi above.

The bag says Grapefruit. Praline and Chocolate, 1770masl

I'm definitely getting the very citrus Grapefruit flavours, blending with the dark chocolate bitterness - as it cools the nuttiness starts to be apparent.

I mean it's a good coffee, very clean and drinkable and good flavours. I just prefer a bit of spicey fruit that comes with east africans. I prefer citrus in coffee to be more toward the orangey/lemony end than how bitter this is toward grapefruit.

If you like very sharp citrus notes and bitter chocolatiness then this is for you, if you prefer something that's a bit fruitier, maybe even a bit more of a creamy chocolate thing going on then maybe not.

There's all landed today. God i love next day delivery.

Only tried the Sumatra. Probably need to tinker (can you say that word or will people get offended?) with it to perfect it but very nice.

Got a subscription to square mile coffee with their filter varieties, anyone have any experience or know roughly how long deliveries take? Was shipped on Wednesday and I'm running low until it arrives

Thanks!

Depends how it's shipped. Royal is usually 3-5 days iirc.

Signed up for the Bell lane sub around fathers day.


Have been a bit underwhelmed by the last couple of bags.


Anyone else sign up for it?

I signed up for the espresso blend sub, 500g every month for 6 months, is that the one you are on?

I've been happy with it, i especially like this months moondust espresso, I also liked the first one which was dawn chorus.

It's nice to have 500g of epsresso beans coming every month so I can buy some single origins elsewhere for use in pourover.

I was considering posting the exact same. Not much better than some of the supermarket beans. Considering the price per bag I will next go for the Badger and Dodo 1kg 6 month subscription for their rotating single origin - their Ethiopian Gora Kone is delicious!

Are you having much issues getting it dialed in?


I keep having to make big adjustments as I go through and change the bag. (moving from one bag to the other of the same coffee that is)

General I find I need to adjust the dial in for bean changes, but I struggled with the first two bean types from Bell Lane while at the same time I was getting good dial in on various other beans. I think it was happening too often to attribute it to poor dial in - just an underwhelming product from Bell Lane IMO. Nonetheless I still enjoy drinking it while guffawing and tut-tutting at the maxwell housers!

Edit: just saw you mentioned 'same bag' in your post. Doesn't sound like you are perfectly satisfied with the beans.

Interesting. Yes other beans are ok (dial in wise). I think I'll probably give this crowd a miss in future. Pitty I've had bags from them in the past that were very good

I haven't had huge problems dialling this one in, but last month I probably struggled with it a bit.

I guess I don't pull enough shots so I end up needing to make a fair bit of adjustments but usually fairly minor adjustments.

By the way I really like the Jam Jar espresso from B&D.

Bigbooty

Joined imbibes coffee club and just opened one of them, the Colombian El Placer - pink bourbon varietal processed via carbonic maceration. Two bags of coffee for 34 euro is honestly super reasonable.

I'd recommend for anyone to join it if they want something different. Really happy with what they've sent out so far.

Blush_01

The imbibe coffee club is great too because there's no pressure to buy, but the stuff is just gorgeous so... well, it's difficult to resist.
