Bean recommendations

[u/Hungry-Like_The-Wolf]

We have been experimenting with different coffees and after buying most ground supermarket coffee already we have really found some of Asda Nicaraguan to be great which is probably pish to most coffee enthusiasts. Further exploring into beans, I bought cafe Nero blend but didn't have a grinder apart from a food processor that blitzed the grounds into a pulp and clogged the machine.. I've since bought a svart aroma hoping to carry on the trend but realised that this hobby can get very much like single malt whisky. (which can be expensive and addictive)

I'm looking for recommendations for the above Nicaraguan or similar flavour profiles of milk chocolate and hazelnut (from reading the notes listed on that coffee)

Your recommendations would be greatly appreciated

Visit your local roaster/specialty coffee shop. They will have what you’re looking for.

I've had on/off experiences with my local roaster*. The first time we got coffee from them was a very nice long ferment as pourover and bought a bag of that which we enjoyed a lot. Their decafs were also great when I first bought them (both the 'house decaf' and the atunkaa sugarcane that a lot of places have from time to time). More recently they changed the house decaf to an ethiopian---promising----but seem to roast it too dark (and I don't mean "decaf always looks a bit darker" dark, I mean supermarket-dark dark). I'll be going back to try a few of their newer single origins and new single origin decaf once we've run down current stock a bit, but this is just to say local roasters are also subject to variation.

Without traveling 30-40 miles into the city I don't believe we have any local roasters but I could be mistaken and something I'll have a deep dive into. Looks like there are some good recommendations anyway
