I don't buy beans from there but imagine they're good. Large selection and all... Definitely keen to hear about some decent coffee places, especially in town? Fully lacking.

seekah Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Sheinkin on Lorne St is awesome Revel on Krd make some tasty expresso Jafa Richmond Rd is another favourite also Seven in Grey Lynn is usually jaw-grindingly strong not sure if it's still there but Grind in the Chancery was really, really good too. Not so much uptown these days, it seems most of the awesome coffee is in the suburbs for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a little boutique roastery and probably roast about 15 - 20 different types of beans and you can buy them in anything from 250gram lots upwards. Id suggest going in, smelling all the different types, talking to the dude and getting a few 250g bags to take home before you pick one that you want 1KG of. Or if you live on the shore, just buy them in smaller bags so they're always fresh. Definitely worth checking out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sell coffee, have 5 tonnes of unroasted currently, all totally organic beans, volcanically fertilized, can be brought at the Albany Dairy at the end of William Pickering Drive or thru me, alternatively Dads Pie's in Silverdale use the bean in their espresso and have fresh packs available. .. More info on the actual bean, visit the below, its pritty in depth the website, however is a top quality bean and is used in a high percentage of blends in coffee brands that are very well known. www.tannaislandcoffee.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be keen to check out that Lorne St place..I'm usually stuck around that area, lots of average/run-of-mill coffee going round... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pakage Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Righto lads, let get this back on track.. Last nights dinner: Home grown green gean casserole with mushrooms, onion, sour cream, cheese & bread crumbs. Home kill beef, garlic & herb sausages. Rocket, cos, tomato & capsicum salad (all home grown) with home made beetroot chutney to dress. BOOM Here's the Green Bean Casserole recipe The only thing that i did differently was to use 1 cup of milk and about half a tin of condesnsed mushroom soup (instead of 1 1/2 cups of milk) which is what i read on another recipe and it turned out tasty as!
