Jules72 I’m going for the sweet bourbon after chatting to the owner today. It turns out it’s named after the island and not the drink.
Haha yes I hadn’t realised that at first. Don’t think you’ll be disappointed mate. I’ve gone through 3 500g bags of that in a few weeks
Just finished my Brighton Lanes and onto the Sweet Bourbon today….. every time i order other beans they don’t come close
Jules72 Popped into compass coffee today and had a nice chat with the owner. I bought 500g of sweet bourbon and he gave me a sample of some different beans. The smell in the Wearhouse was tremendous.
Dubman can imagine…so he reckons sweet bourbon is the one right?
Jules72 I did ask him what his favourite was. He said it all depends what he fancies. The sweet bourbon is very popular. I’ve forgotten the name of the sample he gave me. He did say it’s quite fruity.
How did you get on with the Sweet Bourbon beans, Dubman?
I’ve just tried the Chocolate Point from Black Cat Coffee. These are immense. Highly recommend.

It’s pretty good, not that strong though. I’m going to order MEDITERRANEAN MOCHA ESPRESSO next. which has a hint of chocolate in it.
Old-Dutch might give these a try… ordered another batch of Brighton Lanes and found them a tad underwhelming versus earlier in the year… consistency is often a problem with beans - sometimes you get good batches and sometimes not so good batches
Old-Dutch so have been using these beans the last few days… initially I thought they tasted really weird and was disappointed… but left them in my machine last few days and that now seems to have done the trick - pretty good… guess the beans were too young with them having been roasted just a few days previously.
Old-Dutch ordered this today - wish i’d seen your discount code - oh well! look forward to trying it!
Bean quite impressed with a selection from Rave Coffee. Good variety and smaller bags keeps the rotation going. Just double up on the order. https://ravecoffee.co.uk/collections/espresso-coffee-beans/products/best-selling-coffee-bundle?variant=19949439418422

Old-Dutch ta 👍
Yes mate, best to leave them to rest for a week before using them. Just finished my chocolate point and onto the Black Cat Signature blend which is lovely too
Just cracked open a kilo bag of this - absolutely beautiful. My wife’s favourite of everything we’ve tried so far. Apparently they’re down to the last few week’s supply and won’t be doing it again sadly. Gonna get another kilo in and stick it in the freezer. Expensive but so good. The discount code and free delivery is a touch though. Can definitely get the almond taste coming through. Not a strong intense coffee so maybe not your thing if you love a strong coffee flavour.

Old-Dutch bit of a fruity one right?
Haha yes. I like my coffee like my men
Old-Dutch haha didn’t mean it like that… I generally go for the more chocolatey beans - never really like fruity beans that much. Also find that I prefer blends than single origin …no idea why
Jules72 I generally go for the more chocolatey beans
I’m halfway through those mediterranean mocha beans from Coffee Compass and they are very chocolatey. They are my fav bean for their so far.
It’s got an almond/ nutty vibe. Not really chocolatey at all
Is it sweet like chocolate boy?
