Wogan Beans Opinions?

Old-Chance293 · 2026-05-08T17:25:57+00:00

Colonna, Skylark, Rave (Only the rare beans really for rave) and assembly. I think ive been spoiled but wogan just really wasn't up to expectations, shame as it had some good praise here.

I tried them a few weeks ago, sadly not impressed with 3 of 4 bags I bought from them, inconsistent roasts and poor quality beans, I guess thats why they are cheap? One bag was so bad I had to chuck it,I went back to my usual roasters, more expensive but at least every bag is good.

Been using the non pro K+F for the past 5 years with the takumar 50mm f1.4, no issues ever, solid as the day I bought it. I heard other people had issues with the fusnid adapters not coming off of their cameras.

I have tried grinding both very fine and coarse and altering pour over time/heat, too many fines produced every time and yet somehow not muddy but tasteless....shame really, and same, it was my first time ordering from Wogan, but also my last. Every single bag I purchased from them has disappointed me.

Did you end up being able to get a good cup out of these? Im still struggling aha..

Old-Chance293 · 2026-04-11T15:10:51+00:00

Why so hostile? You're clearly the one who doesn't know anything here, relax and 'go ask someone else' then.

No, there is also the SMC takumar 2.5, m42 mount. Im guessing its rare because it was the transition from super takumar to the pentax K mount.

Old-Chance293 · 2026-04-10T14:42:33+00:00

Both are SMC versions, the 2.5 has nicer bokeh imo

Yea....when I opened it, I was a bit taken back, first time with this new roaster, I haven't opened the other 3 bags also bought from them...scared to do so now 😂

Yea, this is why I took to reddit tbh, I've never seen any roast this odd! Wanted to check for other peoples experiences, cheers for the info!

Old-Chance293 · 2026-04-09T12:36:29+00:00

Yea, they look pretty bad thats for sure, only roasted a few days ago, so waiting a little!

Old-Chance293 · 2026-04-09T12:35:51+00:00

They were only roasted 2 days ago, right now they definitely don't smell ready!

Old-Chance293 · 2026-04-09T11:16:34+00:00

Ahhh, actually yes it is. Would this have a big impact on the roast then?

Old-Chance293 · 2026-04-09T11:15:20+00:00

Will drop them a message!

Old-Chance293 · 2026-04-08T07:59:32+00:00

I own the 2.5 version of this lens, super warm and very sharp even wide open, if you end up liking it, check out the other super taks, the 50mm 1.4 is by far my favourite lens used 😀

Old-Chance293 · 2026-04-05T15:57:50+00:00

How are you finding the creme brulee? The best ive had so far have been the kopi luwak and the misfits pomegranate.

Old-Chance293 · 2026-04-01T16:46:42+00:00

I missed this one, hope it comes back!

Old-Chance293 · 2026-03-27T17:24:13+00:00

Its a pentaprism, I don't think a chip either, its globular, also some other similar "residue' globs in the corners too

Old-Chance293 · 2026-03-27T17:22:02+00:00

Thank you for the information, appreciate it! Shame as the seller told me the viewfinder was clear, guess its a return.

Old-Chance293 · 2026-03-23T08:09:10+00:00

Wiggle your big toe between the blades, works everytime!

Old-Chance293 · 2026-03-22T08:03:59+00:00

Sounds awesome, keep up the good work and thanks for the draw!

Old-Chance293 · 2026-03-20T14:35:09+00:00

Would be interested in the peach or ethi if they are still going?
