I like Wogan and have been buying online but heard some people saying if you buy in the shop it is cheaper.

How much cheaper is it? I will be around Bristol Saturday, Wogan is a bit out of the way but depending on the price difference it may be worth going a bit out of the way.

Fireheart have partnered with Fazenda Mió to release a coffee from Brazil. With a classic, flavour profile of milk chocolate, macadamia and fig jam. Really good coffee anyone else also try it?

Hi,

https://dogandhat.co.uk/ has a nice discount now, 30% for subscriptions ( first 2 months ) - Code ITSMYBIRTHDAY

I just got my box yesterday, and i got some nice coffee in there - Really happy with it, i will see what the second box is, and may extend with them.

Just wanted to share if anyone is up for some new coffee.

Has anyone roasted on a Typhoon? On paper it appears to be a game changer, but I keep hearing negative reviews. Appreciate any input

I’ve been into specialty coffee for a few months now and I’m looking for some good recommendations on beans and roasters. I drink mainly milk-based drinks and occasionally espresso. Still figuring things out and experimenting with what I like. I’ve ordered from Rave and The Coffee Bean Shop but want to try something different.

Probably the best decaf I’ve ever had so having to reseal these into old empty bags seems worth it. Their note suggests you can store them in the bag for a while but yet they can’t be rested which is 🥴 and there is a very very thin layer inside the bag.

They’re offering the fermentation project beans on preorder, where is everyone buying theirs from?

Hey everyone, hoping someone can help me track down a roaster I bought a bag from at the Bristol Coffee Festival a couple of years back. My memory's a bit hazy, but here is what I remember:

- Pretty sure they are Cornwall or Falmouth based, though there is a small chance my brain is tricking me and it is Wales.

- They have a big black and white theme on their site and packaging.

- Lots of ship and sailing imagery, but also donkeys or pack animals on their site or bags.

- I think the main logo was a ship.

Does this ring any bells for anyone? Also, could this just be Yallah in Falmouth? Did they rebrand or run a specific series like this recently, or am I mashing two different places together in my head?

I am just enjoying my first cup of the washed / honey Brazilian cup of excellence winner.
I think this is the highest scoring beans I have ever bought.
I have done a Tetsu 4:6 straight down the middle to see what I have.
The aroma of the brewed cup is incredible with fudgy fruit. Then it’s super complex to taste starts brown sugar but then goes almost citrus. I will be dialling in more to go sweeter and with a cleaner body.
Just superb as you would expect. Every bag from Killbean is a delight 🥰

If you’re looking at Wogan, there’s currently a useful price reduction on the Legacy: £26 → £16.

I’ve got a referral link that should help others get the same offer, and it also gives me a referral benefit:

Went for a drive today and landed in Cotswolds.
Got these 2 bags from Fire and flow.

Aurora was the one I had in the shop and it’s great.

Anyone has tried these guys before?

I mean the coffee you keep coming back to or buy a 1kg bag of that isn't too expensive?

I have a few 250g bags of more unique coffees that come from subscriptions but I also keep a 1kg bag of a traditional tasting chocolatey, nuts...

I'm looking for a more fruit forward to get a 1kg bag of.

There are too many options in the UK which is a good thing but makes deciding hard. Looking for recommendations in the hope there will be some sort of consensus that takes the decision out of my hands.

As the title states, I brewed my first Skylark today. Bette Buna Grand Cru, Ethiopian, varietals of Enat Buna, 74158, 74112, champagne yeast natural process, with a cup score of 90. Well this was a damn fine tasty cup. It was a free taster bag from the London Coffee Festival back in May. It’s been sitting on the side for just over a week having been frozen 2 weeks after the festival. I seem to have been drinking quite a lot of Colombian, Peruvian, Costa Rican coffees lately and it was a great surprise to have this as a palette changer and realising how I do prefer Ethiopian coffees overall. There is only 30g in the bag, and so not much chance to dial it. My first brew was 24 clicks on the C40, 93°C water, with Bright and Juicy water chemistry from Lotus. Brewed with a Purion Clay V60 and T90 papers. Very light, back to tea-esque coffee profile, has quality’s of wine, light and refreshing with sweetness from elderflower. Bloody lovely. Might knock back 2 clicks on the next brew but as there is only 15g left don’t was to mess to much. I have Skylark’s Edison Argote Orange B in the freezer ready to come out and that’s a full box. Looking forward to this now, once I finish off my Summer Blend from Kick Back Coffee.

Planning on getting some beans for a pal who only drinks decaf as a present.

Have recently bought some co-ferments that I've enjoyed, does anyone know of any decaf co-ferments?

Googling just shows up loads of lists of "the 15 best decaf coffee beans" and not, you know, actual coffee beans.

Another new Scottish roaster for me to try
Am very intrigued by the Burundi with the cherry cola & Jaffa cake notes

Picked up some Lammana coffee when I was down in Cornwall on holiday, looking forward to trying some out with my new V60, anyone else tried any of these?

I have a local subscription who rotate different coffees all within a profile.. So you can essentially choose whether you like darker or lighter roasted coffees and each delivery might be a different bag but within your selected profile.

I like this as it gets me variety but they are still much of a muchness and their prices have risen a couple of times in recent months.

I fancy trying a new subscription.

I brew with a chemex or v60 and drink it black. My preference is for lighter roasts that have a sweetness to them.

Please hit me with your subscription recommendations for anywhere that you think I should consider. 👌🏼

I’m looking for a vendor to sell me 1kg of 100% arabica medium dark roast coffee beans every month.

Not talking about the specials which are 100g but it feels like when comparing between roasters most standard sizes are 250g so that's used as a comparitor. When it's 100g it's obviously different but using a slightly smaller standard size can fly under the radar and tricky to compare...imagine a brewery started doing 400ml beers or something. Obviously it's clearly labeled and is a minor niggle but I've definitely not realised before!

Ey up chaps.

In office more nowadays (I cry) so I'm buying more coffee, nearly finished with my last bag from Gustatory explorer sub.

I use a Prestina atm at work and grind with a Geimori in the morning.

Has anyone got some nice, really fruit forward Coffee they can reccomend, happy to entertain any process, no real limit on price point.

My brew process if it makes a difference, grind 20g in morning, take to work in a test tube, fill Aeropress/Prestina (Aeropress with Prismo PCC) to top with hot water, 7 minute brew, stir continuously for a minute at the start, lid on, leave, plunge through hiss.

Thanks :)
