I had also meant to ask if anyone had tried them what did you think? I am looking forward but 1.6 kilos is a lot of coffee if I do. not like them!

Did you have anything to report back on Smith Street? I pass within about 60m from them on my way to the office.

You could always give them to @Gagaryn to run through his new grinder?

I had 2 offerings. Dark Peak and The Don. I preferred the latter which I would rate as very good, but that said, am drinking Dark Peak which must have needed more resting as it is now becoming tasty as well.
I bought them on Black Friday so got a cracking deal but am sure |I would buy again

Thanks, I will pop in next week and take a look

Even though the forum is quite new, I’ve found a few references to them. Intrigued to know if they are something special or just a fluke mention

Given that Sheffield has at least 12-15 roasters and I assume most city’s are the same, just thought it funny one of the few mentioned here a few times is on my doorstep.

I had a kilo of DBARBOSA when it was available - A natural fermentation from Brazil. Very nice - only drank it as v60 or CCD. Trev was very nice to deal with too, very friendly.

Just received a kg of Columbian from Smith St, not tried it yet but was surprised there was no roast date on the bag , just a best before.

Waitforme May be an inadvertent error as no one has pointed out so far. Please give them a shout. There should be a batch number at least, which was in the case of one of the popular roasters.

Oops, I think there is what is the roast date , had to put two pairs of glasses on to make it out though, looks like it was yesterday 06 APR.

Waitforme Good! Let’s know how you got on! Enjoy the cup.
