Old-Dutch Dubman I do for a week mate yes. They need to degass otherwise very unpredictable when trying to get anything consistent when dialing in.
Along_the_Wire Jules72 I just went with the first recommendation I saw - I’ll have a gander at Compass too
Old-Dutch Along_the_Wire COFFEE10 for a 10% discount at Coffee Compass mate. Works on everything except Mystery Blend. If you are going to buy in bulk - might want to consider some vacuumed storage tins (https://www.coffeecompass.co.uk/collections/extras/products/coffeevac-storage-container-250g - not bad, but Airscape are better https://www.bellabarista.co.uk/airscaper-classic-medium-3.html) and or freezing the beans ( in the bags they come in squeeze out gas from valve and then seal valve with sellotape after a week of resting) to keep fresh.
Along_the_Wire Fuck me, what a game changer - coffee beans arrived this morning and the Rave Italian blend espresso is magnificent - after my cynicism, I can’t believe I’ve been pissing around with Lavazza ground coffee. Lovely.
C_J Along_the_Wire Good choice. Do they still do the Indian Monsoon beans? Those were dank as hell. Proper dark chocolate vibe going on. Think they may be an occasional / special edition thing.
Along_the_Wire C_J Dunno mate - got the espresso selection pack. I only drink espresso to be honest. I’ve had four today. Far from ideal.
bosstrabs C_J I had 12 espressos before an exam once. Felt worse than any comedown. A better move was my mate Gav, who put a mitsi in his pack of polos so he could come up just at the end of his 3rd year final, final Philosophy exam.
Along_the_Wire Jules72 Just had the Cherry Cherry espresso beans from there - absolutely tremendous coffee!
Old-Dutch Yes mate - I’m going to get some more of that soon. Got this on the go at the moment and it’s really good: https://www.blackcatcoffee.co.uk/collections/espresso/products/jingle-beans-christmas-blend-2020
Dubman I popped into Compass Coffee on Monday and picked up another KG of the new Mexico Bellavista cafe California Beans. It tastes so good now I’ve dialled in my coffee machine.
Jules72 Dubman so I tried these beans. Not bad but I still think coffee compass’ blends are still by far my favourite beans
