Hi Joe,

I had to laugh at the title of your post - I think that every single thing on this webpage could be described by that title!

I would only ever recommend using freshly roasted coffee beans, ground before using them, which will have a very different flavour from Illy and LaVazza. If you could supply us with a location, we could recommend local roasters.

Some of my favourites are:

Sydney:
Coffee Alchemy
Coffee Masters
Di Lorenzo

Melbourne:
Atomica
Supreme
St Ali

Perth:
Five Senses

Adelaide:
Rio

QLD:
Havent been there, but have heard good things about Pioneer and Di Bella

Cheers,

Luca

Re: Roasted Coffee Beans

Hi Joe,

Do try a freshly roasted bean. Let your palate decide what you like after that experience. The opinion around here (including mine) is that fresh is best.

Like Luca said, once you taste fresh...

Re: Roasted Coffee Beans

Id add, to Lucas list, Withams in Sydney - always fresh. The Guatemalan and Costa Rican are particularly good.

Re: Roasted Coffee Beans

In Sydney, try to visit Belcaffe, it is an artisan roaster. Robert is the owner, very friendly and informative. He said he worked in Italy for coffee companies and thus focuses only on Italian blends.

Re: Roasted Coffee Beans

I think Alchemy has moved on..... the cafe has closed anyway. Hazel, where for art thou?

Their website has a fresh new look, and it appears online ordering too.

Re: Roasted Coffee Beans

Oh, and my personal suggestion: go buy a heatgun, and Ill give you some of my (overly large, always growing) stash of beans and you can roast your own, and youll never look back !

A quick Google search gives me these two possibilities.
