One of the best things about coffee is trying new roasters and combinations. Never even heard of these guys before but they’re local so giving them a go!

    If you don’t mind me asking, what did you pay for beans like that? I love a quality bean, but not willing to pay too much for them with the volume I go through 😂

      It was between £10-£12 per 250g bag which for the UK isn’t the worst I’ve seen but still petty pricy. I still think that’s fairly reasonable for single origin responsibly sourced coffee. I’ll use 22g per cup so it’s roughly £1 per cup.

      Next time I’m going to give Limini coffee a go, they’re another local roaster to me but their single origin 250g bags start at about £7.50.

      The most I’ve spent is around £22 for 250g for some square mile Kenyan stuff which was fun for a one off but definitely not an every day kind of coffee!

      I usually have a couple Asda ES columbian bags on hand and they’re 2x250g for £5.50. Definitely not amazing coffee by any stretch but I can’t splash out all the time 😂

    I’ve been using reddit for years to find new roasters. Hoping to find some recommendations here. Let us know what you think.

    trying new roasters can be fun when you get something good and it’s a surprise. did this recently and was stoked on a light roast and now have gone down the light roast rabbit hole

    Nice! I just found out a local roaster offers 4 oz sample sizes. As soon as my manual grinder arrives in probably going to be going on a hit of a spree.
