Where do you buy your coffee beans from?
Discussion
at the moment? https://doubledrop.coffee - coffee with a play on the drum and bass / clubbing snd drugs theme but the product is really good. "Original Dubplate" is genuinely great tasting.

We've been getting ours from Coffee Link
Been impressed with all the ones we've had so far. Roasted in Suffolk.
Get mine from a local shop, but since lockdown have been using Coffeelink as well.Been impressed with all the ones we've had so far. Roasted in Suffolk.
Have a offer over BH weekend (ends today).
Large variety and decent description so you can try a selection to find one that hits the spot for you.

They a decent price so ordered a few different ones to try.
I’ve always preferred Starbucks to Costa, but agree Nero is better than both of them. I think it might be that Costa put too much milk in their flat white.
I went through lots of varieties of Lavazza from Amazon at around £14/kg but the stuff Costco does is better at almost half the price.

Question for those with a bean to cup machine who are on a subscription service and get different beans each time...
Do you always have to adjust the grind or do you just leave it at whatever setting it’s on as I’m wondering if I get different beans each time, is the first shot always going to be a tester to check if it’s too bitter or weak..?
Yes, and it's a pain in the hoop.Do you always have to adjust the grind or do you just leave it at whatever setting it’s on as I’m wondering if I get different beans each time, is the first shot always going to be a tester to check if it’s too bitter or weak..?
I'm no expert but tried a few different ones from Amazon, this Coffeemasters one is our favourite at the moment.

Over the years I’ve bought from Rave, Pact, Hasbean and Extract.
Finally settled on Resolute blend from Origin https://www.origincoffee.co.uk/products/resolute

I’ve bought from www.redemptionroasters.com this year.
They’re based in Aylesbury prison and give inmates a trade for when they get out which helps reduce reoffending.
Those of you who care about that sort of thing can get a warm fuzzy feeling about supporting a social enterprise. Those of you who don’t care can get a warm fuzzy feeling from drinking very nice coffee

North Star for me, the Brazil is sublime with a bit of milk. Local company too
It depends on how you make it.
For filter I would recommend Waitrose or M&S Kenyan - the former comes ready ground or beans, the latter ready ground only.
For espresso it really depends on your taste for high/medium roast and northern or southern Italian style - or the newfangled single variety.
I favour Drury Coffee Gran Riserva but there is so much out there, you need to work out what you like

Seconded! I used to go here monthly before I left the country; their retail store is fantastic. Tried a number of their beans over the 10+ years I went, but I always came back to their Creole for my daily espresso. Very dark and oily roast - wonderful stuff.For Londoners, I've been using either the Monmouth Street Coffee Shop people in Seven Dials (can also be bought at the petrol station in Highgate for early morning emergencies) or the Algerian Coffee Shop people in Soho for decades. Great choices in both but neither at the bargain basement end of the market. I think both will grind beans to the customer's specification.
My barbaric wife is fond of flavoured beans and orders packs online from www.frescogourmetcoffee.co.uk

Get mine from a local place, the house roast: https://uecoffeeroasters.com/
Used https://coffeebeanshop.co.uk/ a lot in the past, but prefer the stuff from UE now.
