I keep going back to the Honduran from Wogan's.

Ahh, that's where I could always smell sat at the traffic lights at the bottom of the M32

Think that's where my brother gets his as he lives just the other side of the motorway, might have to give them a go next

Been using Wogans but just bought a couple of kg bags from Brown Bear above to try.

Just ordered some Neighbourhood Grind Control To Major Tom to try.

I’ve had a few Kg of Ethiopian from Moonroast (Hampshire-based small roaster) but thought I’d give this one a go as I’ve heard good things.

We just ordered from Teesside Coffee Company - roasted on the 1st and delivered by Hermes on the 2nd. Very impressed with how quick they process and deliver orders. Leaving them to rest while we finish our Rave beans.

Had another Hormozi Swiss Water Decaf last night. The beans have gone quite oily now but it still tastes good.

Order some more from Hormozi.
House Blend in medium and light roast. And some of the Jamaica Blue Mountain light roast.
Never really had light roast so interested to taste the difference.

47 Degrees have their Yirgacheffe in again...it's a bit of a faff to dial in for espresso, but worth the effort, deliciously sweet when you get it right.

Makes a nice filter too obviously.

I always get light roast much prefer it, to me just tastes less bitter. Each to their own of course.

I might try a light roast next time, just to see what it's like. Still working my way through a lot of beans, we over-ordered...

No such thing as over-ordered. You just need to drink more! Such an awful scenario to be in

Wag going to order some more from Hormozi but their prices have gone in the wrong direction now.
Back to Lavazza Tierra for me, until I find something else to try around that price.

What's your target price here?

£15 for a kilo is the limit.

I have been told to try Dark Woods... Can anyone convince me I should?

You wont be disappointed. I've bought from them twice & there's a shop on my round that stocks their beans & have done so for a while. Its the only coffee bean supplier he's stuck with, as the other suppliers the shop has used over the years have come & gone.

I normally buy the "premium smooth blend" 3kg at a time which works out £13.83 per kg.

3kg would last me about 3 months, would it be alright for that long?

I don't really notice any detriment to the beans, 3kg would last me probably 3 months also I guess.

Ah, most of the kg bags we get are about 16-17, but imo they are worth it.

It will lose a bit of quality in that time but how much you actually notice is another question though (I probably can't tell too much difference.). Other than that, keep it out of direct sunlight and it will be fine.

(since I make bulk purchases to get cheaper postage)
I freeze any beans I can't use within about 5 weeks post roast date - and subsequently defrost in fridge, and bring up to room temp before re-opening, using.

Agreed. I was going to try them out by getting one of their selection packs. Turns out it’s cheaper and I got more beans by buying three “normal” packs from my usual roaster.
