the nerd Posted December 18, 2015 Share Organic doesn't mean much. Also fair trade is a farce rather go for direct trade if you can. Most roasters get from the same supplier in South Africa so very little difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike111 Posted December 18, 2015 Share I'm looking to buy a coffee making machine but don't know much about them.Could anyone please give me some advice on brands and what I should look out for in terms of their offering.Ideally I want a "foamer" included and obviously one that can change the strength of the coffee.My budget would be around R2500.I have a Dulco Gusto great coffee maker cold and warm nice before bike ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-Boy Posted December 18, 2015 Share Yes, I agree. Â I know Jake the Snake from way, way back. Â More interested in beers than coffee then I promise!Surprisingly they seem to prefer tea to coffee in that store.I suppose the smell of roasting coffee can get to you after a while, its what I love most about that store though.

V12man Posted December 18, 2015 Share I want some advice on where to get coffee beans - I like a dark roast - Italian. Like the Illy in the tins but they are expensive. Any sites or shops that can be recommended. What is the optimum quantity to buy beans, or put another way do they have a best before date ?  I am using a bean to cup Delonghi machine.Try the woolies beans - they are pretty dark roasted - just be aware that they change flavour after a couple of weeks - not my favorite beans but taste is personal. Just watch out for grinder issues with oily dark roasts - smaller grinders get dirty and rancid pretty easily - which on a super auto is a pain to clean. Happens on big grinders too, but they are designed to be cleaned fairly easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too quickly for my liking. I find their beans on the shelf are usually halfway between production date and expiry date. I.C.E. purchase only.
