Chinadoog Posted September 19, 2009 at 06:40 AM Report Posted September 19, 2009 at 06:40 AM Anyone know where to buy ground coffee beans in Chengdu? Thanks. Quote
muyongshi Posted September 19, 2009 at 07:04 AM Report Posted September 19, 2009 at 07:04 AM Starbucks. One of the 10+ locations. Coffee Beanery should have it to. Any large supermarket like Carrefour should also have something. Wether it be yunnan or something else. Quote
akdn Posted September 19, 2009 at 12:05 PM Report Posted September 19, 2009 at 12:05 PM Imported coffee can be found in these places: Carrefour (家乐福) Ito Yokado (伊藤洋革堂), basement supermarket Metro (麦德龙) Quote

akdn Posted September 21, 2009 at 02:28 AM Report Posted September 21, 2009 at 02:28 AM No worries. Tip: the best deals on ground coffee are in Carrefour. Y30-40 per 250g of imported. At starbucks, you're looking at upwards of Y100. Quote
muyongshi Posted September 21, 2009 at 02:38 AM Report Posted September 21, 2009 at 02:38 AM Actually you can get it for as low as 70 or 80, typically more around 90 with some being more than a hundred. And if you are very particular about your coffee, starbucks is typically the better option. Carrefour may be a good deal but not the best flavor necessarily. Quote
Chinadoog Posted September 21, 2009 at 04:53 AM Author Report Posted September 21, 2009 at 04:53 AM I'll check out Carrefour first. Another question - does anyone know where to get a decent coffee maker for less than 250kuai? Quote
muyongshi Posted September 21, 2009 at 05:11 AM Report Posted September 21, 2009 at 05:11 AM What kind of coffemaker? A french press at Ikea is 99 kuai. Check out taobao as well for good prices. Can't guarentee that they are under 250 depending on what you want but it's a good start. Quote
Prodigal Son Posted October 25, 2009 at 11:01 AM Report Posted October 25, 2009 at 11:01 AM go to Sabrina's on 科华北路, they have a big bag of Yunnan coffee grounds for 25 yuan Quote
Chinadoog Posted December 27, 2009 at 05:52 AM Author Report Posted December 27, 2009 at 05:52 AM Sabrinas and Starbucks were the two places that I found what I was looking for. Carrefour only had instant coffee. Sabrinas has the Yunnan coffee, and I found some Folgers there too for a great price. Quote

patrick123 Posted March 19, 2010 at 07:58 AM Report Posted March 19, 2010 at 07:58 AM Flying Turtle Coffee will deliver Yunnan Arabica coffee anywhere in China. Based in Yunnan so delivery to Chengdu is pretty quick. http://flyingturtlecoffee.com/ Quote
MrMaKe Posted May 3, 2010 at 12:20 PM Report Posted May 3, 2010 at 12:20 PM I've been working in DuJiangYan and at the Trust Mart there, I can purchase Yunnan beans for 88rmb a kilo!! Fantastic price, in fact the best price I've ever encountered in China considering the quality....I don't go to Chengdu ofter, so I have not checked at Trust-mart there... Of course Starbucks, but all their beans are imported from the US to ensure their characteristic bitter taste. Of course the Stbks beans are more expensive here than in the US... I've never found roasted beans at Carrefour, though I have asked... Quote
turkeylegs Posted April 7, 2011 at 01:57 PM Report Posted April 7, 2011 at 01:57 PM Is it possible to get Lavazza in Chengdu? If not, anyone know how Yunnan coffee compares? I'm guessing not too different from Laos coffee? Quote
