Coffee Appreciation

Guilty. The coffee I buy is usually about $25 a bag + shipping. So I tend to 'subscribe' to a roaster for a month at a time, which gets free delivery. Then just cancel. I.e. this month I have finally subbed to Sey in Brooklyn. $24-25 per bag + shipping, or if you sub its $58 with free shipping for 3x250g bags. So quite a big saving.

Last months sub was with Flower Child Roasters in Oakland, CA and I think that was $62 for 3x250g bags and free shipping. Seems to be the going rate for a three bag sub from a renowned specialty roaster this side of the pond.

I have paid £16 from a coffee shop a couple of times for remarkable beans when I’ve been caught short at home.
It is not financially responsible, the coffee has always been banging though.

Looking on recent orders, it averages around £9/250g once you add postage for a 5 bag order.
Which is still absurd in many ways, but I’m unlikely to go back.

My local is usually between 11 and 15 euros. Occasionally I've gone for a limited run bag for over 20 but not very often.

No shipping though as they're just down the road.

Not regularly, but if it's really fucking good then yeah I'll spend that.

That Wush Wush I posted about a few months ago from A Matter of Concrete was £18 for a 100g tub, but it was really fucking good.

£18 posted bag just turned up £2.70 postage so don't think it's bad.

Also S/O to Coborn coffee who were going to cycle over a bag as it was delayed through royal mail. Haven't tried the coffee but would order from them again

No, but the question was 'interesting' coffees. People using nespresso machines do happily pay £20+ for 250g regularly
