The Art of Coffee Roasting

Coffee has been popular in Ireland since the late 1600's, when 'The Devil's Drink' would have been the preserve of the coffee houses and gentleman's clubs of Dublin, Wexford and Waterford. Back then, coffee would have been a very strong and bitter brew.
These days, we treat our precious coffee beans with a little more care, and Ireland boasts at least 20 artisan coffee roasteries, all around the country.
Based in Birdhill, The Old Barracks is one of the finest. Join them at Jellyfish Marketplace to learn about how the Irish coffee trade has grown, and how expert roasters get the best out of their beans - and, of course, there will be lots of samples to try, so you can taste the difference for yourself!
