What coffee beans?

[snotrag]

Im sure there are some coffee geeks on here.

Getting into it in a big way this past year - got myself a grinder and a stovetop.

I've had a variety of beans but all mainstream stuff that you can get in the supermarket, that starbucks stuff, tescos posh ones etc.

Any reccomendations? Any good online stores?

Blue Mountain coffee, but remember the saying you get what you pay for. It is hellish expensive so if you find it "cheap" it probably isn't Blue Mountain. Also it only need consist of 5% Blue Mountain to be called Blue Mountain.

If you want to try something a little different get some Kopi Luwak. It's lovely stuff, but unfortunatly hideously expensive.

I buy the regular beans from Caffe Nero for my bean-to-cup machine. Good value and very yummy, IMO naturally.

Useful too for my parents in Spain as they will post overseas.

I bought some Blue Mountain (not from the above as they don't have it ) last month for MOH's birthday - yarp it is about 10 times more than normal!!
