Trying Square mile’s Thirika Kenyan coffee this week in the Aeropress. First time and it’s a really unique flavour! Would love to hear thoughts on these beans or Kenyan coffee in general!

How is the square mile stuff? From when I last checked they were a bit more expensive than the roasters a bit more local to me so haven't got round to trying them yet

The extra cost is to subsidize hair product.

I do rate them but you are right they are definitely more expensive than other options. I don’t mind so much when it’s a more out there type as they do seem to support the growers. They do have redbrick which is a decent espresso blend for around £13 a bag.

They seem more expensive because they use larger bags. I guess there are a few less spendy roasters too.
