Buy a hape of green beans and roast them as you need them. They keep for a few years

[glasagusban]

Why not? Are they going to not pick it?

[glasagusban]

At the severe risk of a lambasting, I made a turmeric latte the last two mornings. I normally drink my coffee black but I decided to try this because I’m all in favour of any way to consume more peanut butter. Coffee, hot milk (I used almond), half teaspoon of turmeric and a good teaspoon of peanut butter blended up.

It’s delicious.

[TreatyStones]

Sounds mental.
What’s the consistency like?

[glasagusban]

You get a little froth but otherwise like a slightly creamy/milky coffee. It’s genuinely really nice. Wouldn’t want to use too much turmeric or it’ll overpower it.

I think it’s bog standard like Robert Roberts

Its a tad different but I still wouldnt have it ahead of the likes of Velo (Some cork based crowd who sell through Aldi).

illy isnt hectic for the price wither in my opinion

[glenshane]

I’ll go on record and state that this is the best coffee on the planet. I bought another 2kg, which was probably a bit optimistic what with pandemics etc.

So this is what craft beer drinkers do when they hit their 40s

Mrs Mac arrived home with a fancy coffee maker during the week and I’m now making flat white every day

…A disturbing revelation.My wife arrived home with a bag of the Frank & Honest ground coffee a few weeks back, but I left it sitting in the back of the press. Eventually opened it today and it’s surprisingly good. I’d nearly go as far as to say it’s very good.

Does that need to go into the coffee press or is it instant

[TreatyStones]

It’s for the coffee press. As I said I was pleasantly surprised with it.

I’ve probably over dosed on the velo stuff as I’ve been working from home.

Yer man in Velo has a cafe of same name in Cork. Very nice spot. Have never had the coffee but hes a fair operator to get it into Aldi from nowt

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

Not?

[backinatracksuit]

He’s practically giving it away to them, similar quality coffees are usually treble the price

Tis easy enough get products into Aldi for small Irish businesses. You just need to be willing to make a massive loss on it.

Thats not necessarily true. A friend of mine supplies few bits into them. Margin is tight enough but they make it very easy to do business with them. And they pay on time. You wouldn’t want to become too reliant on them though

Margin is all I’m talking about. Depending on the product they’ll slice away at it. Different for every industry of course. You pretty much pay for the privilege of being in there unless you’re well established from any business I’ve seen.

Not wishing to panic anyone but I suspect coffee will be one of first daily staples to fall by the wayside in the current crisis. Can’t see production and exports continuing In Covid hit regions of South America and Africa.

I’d more imagine it’ll be “if ye are too ill to pick it lads, there’s plenty more looking for work”
Who knows though. You tend to be right.
I have plenty of pods in.
Might even fire up the oul steam powered Machine for the laugh.

Pods? Why do you hate the planet so much?
