[Coffee] Beans!

[mandana]

It was R160 at the end of Jan for a bag of beans at the Woolies, has this changed?

Up by 10% on average .. but still good value.

The only problem with buying 1KG bags is that you must use it all within a month. After a month the beans loose their flavour.

Bean There Kenya is good. But their Ethiopian is a good all-rounder.
Colombo Aggressively Chocolate is the best blend I've tried.

If you want good coffee, find a decent roastery and don't buy pre-packaged stuff, e.g. Woolworths.

And you recommend?

Living where we do, decent dark roast coffee beans are hard to find, and I have always bought the Woolies Dark roast when we drive to a bigger centre to shop (a 300 km round-trip).

I will now try a company called Ambeans for my next bulk order, as they will ship free for orders over R300

But their Espresso blend is R 352.00 / kg. Ouch.

Yes, it hurts, But I still save money as they will courier me the coffee for free if I order more at least R300 per order.
It's still a cheaper alternative for us, compared to driving to and from a bigger center (our nearest town with a coffee roaster is Robertson, WC) which is a 140 km round-trip

Look at Barusch someone posted earlier. They charge a courier or postage fee but prices are great.

This is true.

Well I'm not sure where you are based, but Bean There, Motherland, Junipa's and Tribecca are my favourites.

 

[codus]

I ordered a selection from them to try .. but their prices just went up too

 

[airborne]

Woollies 500g coffee price has jumped by R10 and no more 10% disc

 

[codus]

All imported coffee will probably increase sharply in price due to the weak Rand.

What coffee beans/brands aren't not imported?

What coffee beans/brands aren't not imported?

Only 2 I know of are Assagay and Beaver Creek in KZN, Assagay is crap, tried it a couple of times, don't know about Beaver Creek

Most [but not all] are imported. We do have local growers.
