How do yee rate the good bean coffee?

just had the Guatemala in a FP 55/800 and it's pretty nice, lovely dark chocolate bitterness from it

has anyone tried FreshGround coffee?
I usually just go for the Spiller and Tait on Amazon but fancy trying something different

Would like to try some of the Irish options talked about here but such a vast difference in price, can't really justify it.

They're another one of these long established corporate machine and bean suppliers who are now trying something else as their core business is working from home now.

Buy low, sell somewhere in the middle. I'd pay more for less, knowing it's good quality from some of the suggesstions on here.

I've never had what I'd call good coffee from one of those office suppliers. Drinkable, and caffeine hit yes, but enjoyable no.

yeah, on that - at the start of the pandemic I took a couple of 2kg bags from the office home with me, I regretted it.

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

I got a Hershey's bar.

Finished off my AOC smooth this morning so I'll crack into this tomorrow.

Roast dates are the end of last week! Very impressive!

Let me know what you think

Hershey's is dastardly.

I'm finishing my Art Of Coffee lounge blend. Fairly impressed. Have reordered but trying some of their other options.

Anybody tried Warbler & Wren? My friend says they get it in work and it is nice. I have google it and while they seem Irish they might only distribute via some wholesalers?

My old workplace used to have Cloudpicker in one of the outlets in the building, but they changed to W&W, and the quality of the coffee shot down.

I'm fairly sure it's a white label coffee with some sleek branding

Edit

Yeah look here


https://findlaterandco.com/coffee/


same place as Lavazza and Robt Roberts

I'd personally avoid as I prefer supporting actual indie roasters.

Will be heading to cloudpicker for a trip today - pick up a bag of something, tried HENRY and SAM so will see what else they have

Handy having their roastery up the road.

Hodors Appletart

if they have anything chinese try that

Sipping Cloudpicker Frinsa Estate since last week and it is a beautiful cup. Another fermentation experimental coffee and it is beautiful through the v60 and the wave. Like the Banka it has a lot of tea-like notes imo. Worth the €14 if you're into funky pour overs.

Been doing espresso mostly but literally just got a supply of chemex filters yesterday so will break that back out.

Might go back to pour over for a bit, or more likely run both - getting a lot of caffeine these days haha

Had the Cheeky Monkey this morning.

It was lovely I have to say.

Not as rich as AOC's Smooth which is the big daddy for me these days, but lovely all the same.

I got a bag of Arawyn's Dream as well. So will give that a whirl over the weekend.

Anyway, it's a thumbs up from me.

The MAM single origin is lovely for espresso machine too. I think it is used to blend both HENRY and SAM blends.

Just ordered some Coffee Angel Forsa Gala for a change.

Any recommendations for a decent decaf blend?

I've heard 3Fe is good but not tried it yet myself https://shop.3fe.com/product/colombia-la-estrella-decaf-washed-caturra

Didn't really like the Coffee Angel one or the Art of Coffee Peruvian decaf, ut I'm using a clever dripper so they might be great for espresso. It seems tricky to find something where you don't get that bitterness. Maybe I just need to give in and use some milk and sugar :eek::eek:

Came across a small batch roastery from Donegal - Shack coffee
https://shackcoffee.ie/shop/

Free shipping over €50 or else €7 which is a bit steep!

Looks like they only do 250g bags with no discount for more than one. Very expensive. €37.80 for 1kg plus €7 shipping, ouch!

Grand.

I only got a good bean order last week.

Need to get more AOC Smooth, so I'll likely get it from them next week. Cheers.

@Caviar, it'll be made into americanos or cappuccinos so should be okay.

anyone get the Imbibe email this month? The Ethiopian in particular sounds very intriguing

The Ethiopian is our second microlot from The Worka Wuri mill. We've seen this coffee offered at €25 from some roasters around Europe. It's rare and it's premium but we're offering it at over 20% less. From what we can gather (the producers were very secretive), banana process is similar to natural anaerobic fermentation but with the addition of banana slices which add sweet flavours to the coffee. We think it's stunning.

Yeah, I've been sucked in again. The early heads up email to build hype/interest is incredibly effective in marketing it to me!

Looking forward to trying both as I don't really drink Brazilian coffees so will be nice try something different.

Yup I have no need for it at the moment with a couple kilos of beans in the freezer but they convinced me anyways with the tasting notes.

Have bought from their coffee club before and also just off the site and have been disappointed compared to cheaper beans from other roasters.
Kind of showed me that what the experts consider to be really good coffee may not be great for me
