Interested in hearing what coffee roasters the community recommends. I’m getting into specialty coffee (single origin, roasted for filter brewing), and am keen for recommendations. But also keen to hear about whatever it is that gets you going in the morning.
My favourite roaster at the moment is Rocket Coffee. Their roster of beans is constantly shifting, so you’re not necessarily going to get the same coffee every week – but there’s always something interesting and/or absolutely delicious.
@[email protected] I feel like you’d have some input on this based on your post a while back,
PS the bourbon aged coffee is back in stock, but I’m not so happy about the shipping cost. Haven’t pulled the trigger yet, will have to think about it I’m willing to pay almost double…
Do they have some kind of explanation somewhere of what they do with the beans? I’m intrigued – but that is some heftyyy shipping.
I think just what’s on the page, but there’s a bit of info there. It sounds like they take the green beans, then put them in the charred bourbon barrel (there’s a photo in the slideshow), then “age” them (it doesn’t say for how long), then after it’s aged they roast them.
I am also very intrigued and keen to try it. It’s odd that I can’t actually find it on their website, only from the direct link.
Odd, but I think I respect the confidence.
They talk about it selling out fast. So I mostly worry that they removed it from the website when it sold out but didn’t remove the direct link.
Alternatively they might not have announced the next batch yet. I just ordered 1KG so I will see if it goes through. @[email protected] said on the previous post not to get a large bag… but I need to make the most of the shipping cost so I’ve just gone for the big bag. Probably should have got two bags to make the shipping even better.
Edit: Have received confirmation it’s being shipped
