I've been meaning to try out some new roasters recently so looking for some suggestions.

What about them stands out for you?

[–] lemme_at_it@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Like any taste, it is hard to put into words but it has the right amount of bitterness & smells great.
I make a lot of latte & this one is good for that IMO. As I said, hard to put into words.

For the decaf drinkers, decadentdecaf is excellent.

I'm using coffee link at the moment, it's really good for the price nothing to special in terms of quality though. I usually order two 500g bags for around 22 quid which lasts a good month

I ordered an anaerobic coffee there the other day though and it was not great, not a fan of that type of coffee. Don't know if it was just that particular bag but the smell of the anaerobic coffee is not the one (the taste was actually fine)

Solar Bean coffee. Ethically sourced coffee roasted via solar power! Home compostable packaging to!

Their Rwanda Gitwe 630 is amazing.

Been buying from Rave for a couple of years, I get their Discovery subscription. It’s always excellent

I used to use Redber, but Rave made way more sense financially and their roast consistency had less dud beans than Redber. That said, some of Redber's offerings were really nice. The Rave packaging is a great bonus.

Union Coffee, using the house blend at the moment.

Fellow Union enjoyer here.

But I buy my coffee pre-ground, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

heathen pre-ground drinker! What's putting you off buying a hand grinder?

[–] Sheltac@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Procrastination. A hand grinder is exactly what I want in my workflow, but couldn’t yet be arsed to work out which one I want 😅
