Coffee Bargains

WCC - 1kg single origin rotation 380 for 12 month - great value imo. They throw in some lovely stuff like honey processed and naturals etc

Any codes or offers guys? I need a top up!

I got Into coffee as whiskey was getting too expensive .Now a year or two later it’s nearly as bad ! Bell Lane seem to be getting most of my serious coffee money lately .Jairo Arcila to die for .I had stuck with BearMrkt for a while and liked their orangey stuff..It seems that unless you pay the big bucks ie €15-20 ( and now I see Bell Lane pushing the €25 zone :-( ) per 250g bag you’re at nothing .The cheap stuff is all the same ….’just coffee ‘ ….I don’t particularly like the taste of ‘coffee’ but boys oh boys a decent pour over with a smack in the face of whatever it’s MEANT to taste of eg strawberry , blueberry , orange or those stunning figgy /dried fruit ones is worth paying for .All the bland same-ish stuff just talks of notes of nuts and caramel etc ….utter nonsense .1kg bag a bit too big for me ( and painful if you don’t like it ) Using Clever Dripper / Timemore C2 24grams per 360 ml .I’d be tempted to upgrade grinder but I’d sooner spend the dough in good beans which I know will have more of an impact

Any recommendations other than stop being such a coffee snob :-) ?!

Anyone any experience with McCabes coffee, good, bad?

presumably this thread is also for equipment bargains?

For the lattes or cappuccino everything goes ( robusta dark blends probably even better than expensive arabica single origin beans). Quality of the milk and steaming technique more important than beans.

If espresso/americano out of a table then Slumber Jack absolutely fine. You probably have to clean grinder more often. I don’t think Slumber Jack is drinkable as pure espresso or americano though.

If someone has 2 grinders ( one for good beans and another for milky drinks) then buying Slumber seems like a smart choice. You might consider this beans instead :

It not that dark , perfect for lattes and even it has some nasty bitter robusta side notes when drinking pure, you could taste some nice South American arabica beans there too . If milky drinks is your main choice but occasionally you want to have espresso or americano then I think it definitely better than Slumber Jack and it won't break the bank too.

ps. I didn't like milky drinks until I’ve got dual boiler machine , it makes it so effortless compared to my old Rancilio Silvia , you could make few latte in a row quickly without losing steaming power. I’ve thought beans like Slumber Jack or Madrugador have no right to exist few months ago but I am not that snobby anymore :)
