  1. Coffee Beans
    Good evening all, I would be eternally grateful if you could recommend some good roasters that ship in letterbox friendly packaging as regular trips to the post office do not fill me with joy. Appologies if this has been previously asked...still new here. I am open to trying all variations of...
  2. Barista Skills for the home enthusiast
    Hi I'm using a DTP and newly acquired Smart Grinder Pro. I dialled in initially with Coffee Compass Mystery beans (about 25 days since roast) and got great consistency and extraction with the grinder on setting 11. Today I changed to HCR Workhorse (12 days old) using same variables but it...
  3. 👋 Introductions 👋
    Hello After having 2 Delonghi Bean to cup machines (and thinking that was a good thing) I decided to upgrade. The reason was because no matter what coffee I bought it always seemed to taste the same. So..I purchased a sage Barista touch - all was well for a day or 2 until I noticed that the...

    Assumed is that we have fresh beans with same age and we want the same output from every beans I noticed that all beans (different sorts and mixes) from one roast house needed a much finer grind than that from another! Is that saying anything about the quality of the roast house? And if yes...

    Just emptied my coffee drawer where I keep my bags, and thought it was a time for a clear-out.. They all have maybe a shots worth of beans in, and aren't worth keeping as they are all very much out of date. At least they won't go to waste as they'll go in my compost bin How come I...

    Having tried a lot of different varieties and roasters of late I'm leaning more and more towards natural style beans. Anyone have an particular recommendations or favorites?
  7. Coffee Beans
    Hi All, My typical go to beans are from Rave. I tend to buy 2kg every couple of months. Previous order cost for 2kg was £31, the one before that was £30. Latest order from yesterday was nearly £37 ?! Same beans. I'm not saying that this represents bad value for money but has the price of...
  8. Coffee Beans
    With all these Black Friday deals popping up I haven't been able to help myself and have made a tonne of orders (total 7kg....). The only way I can guarantee to get through them all without them going stale is to freeze the majority and come back to them as and when I need them. I received my...

    I'll be in Cambridge for a week in December and would like to buy some freshly roasted coffee. Does anyone know of a good roaster there? I'm thinking of a small artisanal operation, but I'd buy good, fresh beans from nearly anyone at the right price. Thank you.

    Well, to be honest, i only like beans with the flavour "like choclate". (Btw: How do they create those flavours?) I really HATE things e.g. the fruit taste some beans have.

    I have been trying a few of their roasts recently, the narco espresso blend is worth a try for sure and the columbian caldas too! Anyone else tried them?
  12. Coffee Beans
    We have a good coffee setup in our office with several good Expobar machines and good grinders. The beans however are pretty terrible, in the opinion of myself and several other coffee snobs in the office. Office management are happy for us to investigate new supplier options, however I know...
  13. Coffee Beans
    Has anyone had any of this recently? I've ordered this a few times and always enjoyed it however the lastest kg (roast date 15.10) has been awful. I would describe the taste as rancid, sour, metallic. I've never had any issues with rave and they are one of my favourite roasters. As such I was...

    What are your thoughts on Lavazza Super Crema? I bought my first 1kg bag of Lavazza Super Crema a week or so ago. It seemed to be fairly well reviewed, especially for the price and widely used. I usually buy from Rave, Union, Square Mile etc and get a selection of 250-350g bags so am used to...
  15. Coffee Beans
    The Niche finally arrived yesterday and life is good! Now it's time to go and try beans. On a recent trip to London I've tried some super light espresso from an EK43 and was blown away by how fruity coffee can be. I know I won't achieve the same at home, but I would like to try and see what I...

    Hey everyone. How much do you spend on your beans? I today spent £12 on 250g for an Honduras Single Origin. Its by far the best coffee I've ever had.

    Girlfriend is headed over to New York at the end of the week for a fortnight and has offered to bring back a few things from the US with her - anyone have any roasters they'd recommend? She'd be happy to pick up anything in NY but can get something delivered from anywhere in the US in that time...
  18. Coffee Beans
    Ok so I am considering purchasing 1kg bags of beans at a time as it works out a fair bit cheaper than buying smaller bags. My question is, is it a good idea to freeze? I was going to break the 1kg bag down into smaller quantities in ziplock bags and freeze it. does freezing damage the beans or...

    I have an unopened 250g pack of Dambi Uddo beans roasted on 6th September at The Barn in Berlin. I have no idea about the roast or the bean and I only ordered them in order to get a metal lid for my Aergrind as they were part of a package deal. I will throw in two sample packs from them as...
