Badger & Dodo ordered. 1kg Nensebo Refissa + 1kg Bota Fora. That should be me through the Christmas.

The Nensebo Refisa is fantastic, sadly just a recent memory now. I bought just shy of 2kg of coffee from Ponaire, hoping to find a similar coffee, but they're all pretty m'eh. The decaf isn't bad, but I always get a cardboard taste from decaf coffee and it's present in this one too.

I found the Ponaire Colombian nice. Glad to hear you enjoyed the Refissa!

I just popped into Ponaire and picked up 500g each of the Sumatran and Burundi and have put them in the freezer. I still have about 750g on hand from my last order but thought I should grab the deal while its there.

Bloody no ziplock with Ponaire nor Mahers I think.

Picked up upside Burundi from local cafe on Sunday. I had got through all my Greenbean/Dream beans coffee, I found they all worked best in a french press.

Anyway the upside is quite nice. Also, i've given out about them before, but saw 2 of the Velo Coffee roasters single origin I think in Aldi for 4 quid each and thought I'd try them. Had the indian. Again in a French press, it's more than adequate to quench that coffee need.

Cool my mrs arrived home with a bag of the Indian the other day, will give it a bash in the Aero see what's what with it

I got a bag of Ponaire Colombian and I think it is really nice, once of the nicest Coffees I have had recently and would recommend.

Before I was drinking Brazil - Carmo De Minas from Roasted Brown I also found really nice.

Former boss was from Cork. Went home every other weekend and would bring up a bag of Mahers for us in work to use in the frenchh press.

Ordered Ponaire on Wednesday night about 12 o clock, dispatched before 8am on Thursday and delivered Friday afternoon, nothing wrong with that.

Went for the European blend and a small bag of the Peruvian Single Origin.

That's mad, m.

My Italian was in a Ziploc. As is the monstrous vanilla (way too sweet for me) that I got for herself.

Whats the best bang for buck coffee around ?

Can’t beat Nick’s espresso blend at €6 for 250g or €22 for 1kg, with a free coffee, for value IMO.

Just opened Mahers Italien blend as well, its in a zip lock, very smooth cup of coffee. Very nice...

Must try the vanilla, i love sweet black coffee...

Any subscription Black Friday deals likely? Going to get a whole bean one for a sibling

Bailies always do one. Not sure what Brexit will to do that though.

It's very sweet. I really don't like sweet hot coffee, so I'm not one to judge it for you.

Me! I've gone through a 250g bag in two weeks. Make of that what you will.

I opened the Burundi a couple of days ago. It's rich and dark in the way 85% dark chocolate is, though I'm not saying it tastes of chocolate, but it seems to me it might be over-roasted, but is still perfectly drinkable and flavoursome. The West Cork Burundi is better, though.



Ponaire Burundi on the right, WC on the left.

Back to Mondo del Café for my next order. Even at the reduced price it's not value for money compared with what I normally get for a lower price. Hope the reduced price Suamatran is better. I think I'll send Ponaire an email with feedback.

yeah that looks over roasted for an East African coffee

Lads, was going to order Xmas blend off 3fe because my favourite blend is there.
Is there a Christmas blend that trumps theirs?

I know it's all about personal taste

Just trying to figure out if I'm drinking too much coffee. Just the wife and myself (of coffee drinking age) we are averaging about 1/2 kilo a week. Is this sort of what others are using?
