Longest you have stayed with one bean

Platypus I’m still very much enjoying it and have no regrets about buying it thanks

Well thats bad news 🥰🤓🤦🏼‍♂️

Was hoping to see it in the classifieds 🤪

As for not using it all the time, short of feeding it pebbles it should last ours and the next generation.

As for price, i don't think they are overpriced for how we know they are made.

Doesn't mean you can measure the coffee to be 4 x the price of the philos etc, doesn't have to.

But it does mean consistency.

The longest time, before getting onto coffee forums and deep down the rabbit hole I was using supermarket beans. For more than 2 years I've been buying Lofbergs. It was among the few beans that had a roasting date and most of the time it was about 4 - 6 weeks after the production date. The flavour is ok, especially since I only drink lattes, but lacking body. Now I'm down to experimenting various sspecialty ones, but not yet sold on subscriptions.

Platypus Thanks. That’s very generous. I wouldn’t want to impose though. The roaster needs to be taken out of the attic first!

We do vary our bean purchases but keep coming back to Monsooned Malabar. Not always from the same supplier.

Nothing else seems to do it for my 'customers'. :)

I like to vary what I buy and am nearly always guided by you knowledgeable lot. I never get the nuances described as my taste buds are just not that refined but I can't say I have found one I have not liked… they have all for me, made decent drinkable cups of coffee. But, the one I always have a bag of most frequently as a back-up in my freezer, is Rave's Fudge Blend.

On starting my coffee journey it was the first I ever bought and it was that which showed me the light.

Simple mind, simple tastes… a coffee simpleton… that's me.

Pompeyexile I always have one of these available too 😎

Currently, I have four SO's on the go but usually three. That way, I don't get bored drinking the same one.

You could try putting the beans into the wrong bags, that would keep you entertained for ages and open up a whole new spectrum

Sadly, my taste buds are so sophisticated, I'd know in an instant!

I've been using Rave Signature in my rotation for about 5 months. That's easily the longest I've used the same bean for. During that time I think I've gone through about 4 or 5 Kg's of the stuff and it's been very consistent, in my experience at least.

Birds Mellow perhaps?

Just wait until next time you come around, then we will see!

I am still twitching from the caffeine overload courtesy of that session where we tested multiple shots of Jampit espressos years back. Think that's what drove me to lighter roasts
