Vintagerobots Posted December 13, 2021 Report Share Posted December 13, 2021 On 7/12/2021 at 9:48 PM, Downtown said: They are pretty good. Not my side of town, but for a high volume shop, they are consistent and their beans are usually distinct and good quality. I would go often if it were more convenient for me. The downfall of all coffee shops is that they begin with a very high standard for their coffee. Then typically after 1 year they adjust that quality and service to create more revenue. This is almost always when a shop decides to start roasting as opposed to continue sourcing high quality beans. This just happened with Bongo Java in Nashville. I’m not sure what their storefronts are using, but their mail order beans used to be consistently great coffee. Then all of the sudden every bag tasted stale and overall just not good.

9 Nines Posted January 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 (edited) @Downtown Do you know if Pour Cleveland is in trouble? It is only offering a few coffees now and none of its own. Edited January 14, 2022 by 9 Nines Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downtown Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 @9 Nines I also cancelled my subscription this month as a cautionary move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayglow charges like ~20% more than the roaster charges, whereas Pour Cleveland almost charged same. I'll try Wendelboe direct with Nordic post, and if takes no longer than 2 weeks, I'll get a subscription there. First I need to finish some frozen coffee and I just ordered three bags of https://redroostercoffee.com/shop/coffees/light/ethiopia-wush-wush Red Rooster Wush Wush was great last year.

I recently learned Fellows Drops occasionally has European roasters' coffees. It offered La Cabra and Manhattan different weeks recently. People reported the shipping on them was $5 with tracking and US roasters usually are free to $2 shipping on Fellow Drops. It is a participate or not service. It offers a coffee weekly via text message and you can accept with number of bags or ignore. I just started it, so will get first offering next week I guess.

Look into SEY and their subscription discount. I think their roasts will be up your alley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
