Got my 7.5kg of beans today ... really impressed with the speed of posting the beans out .... I really didn't expect them until next week. This will definitely keep me busy over the weekend

Yes, I prefer African and South American beans, I find SE Asian beans too earthy for my taste.
Order arrived intact a while ago, ordered Sunday 21st arrived 10.30 AM Thurs 25th, pretty good considering I'm out in the sticks about 160 km North of Adelaide.
Well done Coffee Snobs and Australia post.

Columbian supremo is great, excellent aroma and taste, it's our favourite bean. We'll buy double or tripple the amount of supremo to anything else.
PNG coffee is also excellent, Ethiopian harrar roasted slightly darker in low quantities in a blend works for us too. El Salvador has some nice brews, man the world's your oyster, have at!

Hope you enjoy your selection Jazzy, have roasted and enjoyed Colombian Supremo in the past, easy bean to roast, the batch I had (few years ago) produced lots of crema.Originally posted by Jazzymc View PostIn the end I ordered 7.5kgs of green beans to try out:
Peru Ceja
Columbian Supremo
Brazil pulped
Can't wait to give them a go (and try different blends between them) .... this amount of beans will last me a while for sure!

Yep, Andy does a great job. My order is also on its way. I also order for work and the staff asked that I order more from Andy.

With what I have left from my previous order should last me about 12 months.Originally posted by Jazzymc View PostWOW, that is one massive list ... you obviously have one serious roaster at home!
I roast 725 grams at a time (green) in a Coretto.
The reason I posted the list was to give you an idea of the type of beans I am buying to suit my palate, thought it may help.
PS Placed the order a little after 7 PM yesterday, got an email just before 5 PM today advising the order was ready to ship.
As usual, brilliant service from Andy and his team.

I used to sit on my back deck with oven mitts, shaking my popper so that the beans wouldn't burn on the bottom. My kids loved the chaff. Like some sort of weird caffeinated snowflakes.

Just be aware with the Brazil pulped that it is a chaff monster. Nothing wrong with that, but it may surprise you just how much chaff it does produce.

Hi there,
the columbian supremo is probably a good one to try. That was in fact my first bean with a popper as well.
Brazil pulped is a great option, nice and easy to roast.
