Birmingham Coffee Hunters

A couple of guys looking to find the best tasting coffee in Birmingham. Sadly, the job has moved to Brindley Place so only coffee chains around.

@TheCaffeineKid @pactcoffee Thanks Will, appreciated. I will give it ago tomorrow

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

Looking forward to trying these from @pactcoffee over the next week. The El Mirador say it has hints or marmalade, I’m intrigued

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

I have really enjoyed this over the last week. Great flavour, @hasbean have found a great single origin supplier. If you like filter, drip or Cafetière coffee then I highly recommend it.

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

Great super quick service from @MonsoonEstates. Ordered Friday & delivered Monday. Currently quicker delivery than @amazon for a prime customer buying something in stock. Thank you to Chris, Anne & the team. With working from home & family in lockdown, we're drinking lots.

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

Looking forward to trying these from @hasbean. So glad they arrived today. Nice break from the ongoing madness.

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

Always happy to get home from work on a Friday and find my coffee order has arrived in time for the weekend. Thanks @MonsoonEstates

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

I had a bag of @marksandspencer Italian coffee beans for Christmas. Supermarket coffee isn’t usually that great so I put off trying it. But I have to say that it was pretty good and the flavour description was spot on. I will be buying a spare bag to keep in for emergencies.

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

Maragogype Nicaraguan beans from @MonsoonEstates make a great @Hario_uk v60. Certainly brightened up my afternoon.

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

Went in to @melbsinlich the other day. I know previously I’d mentioned not having a great coffee there. I’ve been in a couple of times since and have to say it was good. The flat white I had last time was excellent. Worth a visit.

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

Lovely start to the day. The Sierra Nevada from @MonsoonEstates was great in the moka pot. What is everyone else having this morning?

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

Enjoying something new from @MonsoonEstates Sierra Nevada from Colombia. Chocolate and Hazelnut notes! Very nice.

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

I am reliably informed it is a blend of Brazilian, Colombian and Honduras beans put together by the roasters @CherizenaCoffee. Worth a try

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

Well there are clearly 2 different beans or at least 2 roasts in the @CherizenaCoffee blend. When I first opened it and ground some I really thought it would need milk. But I have to say in both the @Aeropress_UK and a cafetière it is smooth and easy to drink black

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

@CherizenaCoffee No worries and yes I will. It is smoother than I expected after the first smell. There are clearly 2 different beans, what are they?

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

I have been given a bag of @CherizenaCoffee special blend beans to try. Smells dark and strong. Time to brew it up and give it a go

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

@SyrupyCupcakes @MonsoonEstates @wozie_stevie Thank you Sharon, it worked nicely

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

First attempt - 20g fine ground @MonsoonEstates espresso blend and 200ml water. I need to adjust the brewing time slightly but it’s a decent trial run.

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

Delicious together @sipsmith @FeverTreeMixers

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

@MonsoonEstates Happy new year 👍🏻🥳

[Birmingham Coffee Hunters @BrumCoffeeHunt]

Treated myself to an @Aeropress_UK here goes for the first brew. Seems to be endless brewing methods; any suggestions?
