I have just gone in to thr Roberts roastery website e-coffee.co.uk which was shut for ages, but has been revamped (not sure when, haven't looked for a while).

I notice they are selling green beans now, not a huge range, but good prices: £4.50 for 500g of Brazilian Cachoera incl postage, which is actually even cheaper all-in than our resident favourite, who will no doubt beat me senseless for passing this info on :lol:

Worth a look, and they do some excellent (roasted) espresso blends.

Just got my order from Roberts, 500g of roast Sienna espresso blend, and 1Kg of Brazil Cachoera green including postage and packing fror £16, bit of a bargain really. The roast beans were roasted 3 days ago, so nice and fresh too. I had forgoten how good the Sienna blend is, very swet with chocolate and fruit.

I hope this isn't the end of "Simon's Weekly Blend"

No, I just like to have a roasting break sometimes, plus it is good to try some "pro" roasted stuff as a reference point for judging the home roasts.

Yeah, I have to admit that if I lived next door to a roaster then I probably wouldn't bother roasting my own - there's never enough hours in the day...

Yes Davec, very much. It should be very interesting and educative to see a pro go about his roasting business. I am always eager to learn some new tricks about the trade.

Sure would Dave ..... all very interesting.

Dave.... I find that the Monsooned is wonderful as an espresso, giving a lavish crema and a mouthful of great flavours. I just love it as does everyone tasting it. Give it a go.

Parden my ignorance if so, who is your local roaster?

Could be worth it though Dave especially if he is as good as you say. It might even be good for him, in that it could open up a market he is not able to, financially, tap into. You sound like someone who needs talking into it...I'd say give it some serious thought. You know as well as we all do that speciality coffee is a growing market, wouldn't it be great to tap into that and give the larger companies a run for their money? Go on, you know you want to...

Do they have a website or did I just become rubbish at using google?
