    Found the same, everyone likes something different but found it dull.
    Liked their Ethiopia Yirgacheffe, Uganda Bukhanakwa and Brazil Eagle Monte Carmelo the best of what i’ve tried from them so far

    Yeah, exactly, it's just personal preference. I enjoyed their Yirgacheffe and their Colombian Dulima. Also Velo definitely one of the best roasters to buy from in terms of customer service, always been impressed with any dealings I've had with them.

    You mean the Tandem, I have a bag of that on the go at the moment (wholebean) and think it's grand.

    Yup. I binned mine. Just didn't like to.

    Anyway,.bought some bailies over the weekend. been a while but I really like their decaf. Passing coffee angel today I got some of their decaf, knowing it's roasted by bailies.

    It's the exact same bean, now I might try and see which of their beans match bailies.

    10% off bean west until tomorrow with Thankyou1

    Free shipping over €25 too - so a lot of options for 1kg bags at €27 delivered. Great value. I ordered a couple of weeks back and it was roasted and shipped that day and arrived the next day.

    The Tanzanian is a really nice strong dark coffee if that's what you are into - just ordered the Honduran and the Panama.

    Good to know! Still trying to find a nice decaf - didn't like coffee angel's tbh. I know I am probably looking for the holy grail :D

    Didn't like it myself in aeropress, moka or v60 but I did like as an espresso or americano

    I've a feeling that's the problem maybe - I'm using a clever dripper so it's possibly not helping the decaf profiles!

    Something in the air today as I noticed creed coffee roasters on Pearse street today myself. No idea how long they've been there though, originally from Kildare I think

    Totally new to me but they look very interesting! I have to say, some of the Irish roasters need to do a bit more marketing etc. as I'm always searching online for new roasters and never found them before.

    The guatamalan looks nice - anything in particular you would recommend?

    Explains something, but I've been going into work once a week there all year.

    It's across the road from the library before the Pádraig Pearse pub.

    That's 3fe, Cloudpicker, and these within 5 mins of work. Another place stocks Bailies and I pass a coffee angel on my cycle in or out.

    there has to be a catch here

    7.49 for 230g of Ethiopian Limu is very cheap

    and free shipping for 2 bags, so under 15 quid for 2 bags of single origin, shipped, is probably the best value coffee in the country.

    I'm tempted to just buy 2, the Ethiopian and the Guatemala - are there roast dates?


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,796 ✭✭✭✭Dtp1979


    Sadly my cardiologist's orders after developing Premature Ventricular Contractions mean I've had to kick my coffee habit in to touch except for the occasional naughty brew.
    Like you I've yet to find a good decaff.

    The good bean do a decaf bean too :)

    Couldn’t tell ya. They’re new enough so maybe trying to be competitive with pricing to get customers on board. I’ve no idea


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,103 ✭✭✭Hodors Appletart


    feck it, I've ordered the 2


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,178 ✭✭✭killbillvol2


    When I lived in London I got in the habit of buying my beans from the Algerian Coffee Stores in Soho.
    Their Mocha Parfait blend is magnificent.
    Rich,deep with a hint of chocolate.
    They deliver to Ireland from their online shop.

    I used to get coffee there years ago. They don't deliver to Ireland any more though. Brexit.

    I've bought non British made stuff from Britain since Brexit. There's a rake load of paperwork, just loads probably saw they don't have that big a customer base outside the uk to make it worthwhile.

    That's an over simplification but many companies, like this one, have decided it's not worth the hassle.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,490 ✭✭✭sioda


    feck it, I've ordered the 2

    And arrived first thing this morning with a small fudge bar 😁. Brazilian roasted on the 28th of April and Guatemalan roasted end of March.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,103 ✭✭✭Hodors Appletart


    feck it, I've ordered the 2

    this was Weds night, and they've arrived today via An Post standard post. Pretty much next day given they were probably closed by half nine wednesday night.

    There are roast dates, Ethiopian is 12/04 and the Guatemala is 27/03 which is a bit disappointing, but for the price not bad.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,103 ✭✭✭Hodors Appletart


    oh yeah I got the fudge bar too, haha
