Coffee has increased in price everywhere because of the poor harvests last year unfortunately. I treat myself with mail order coffee from the Monmouth Coffee Company, the Guatemalan beans are my current favourite, but they have a big selection which I’m working through. For everyday I buy Taylor’s Italian blend beans, which I also like.

What's wrong with nestle's classic coffee

My goodness, I just looked it up. I did not realize coffee was given a region, just like wine! I thought perhaps it was a name brand.

Sorry, I have no advice, since I drink any coffee offered to me, and use pods for my morning cup.

Tried many different ones. We have always gone back to Lavazza.

Taylors of Harrowgate do a good range of coffees. It's available in the big supermarkets. We once went in their shop in York and the smell was amazing.

I love Blue Mountain coffee, my partner picks up when he goes to Jamaica.
For everyday use we use Costa, or coffee from the big coffee chains which you can buy.
We bought coffee online marketed as Blue Mountain but it was horrible.

We always use beans and ground our own, making our own blends and have fun trying them all out.

Having been an aficionado of Blue Mountain for many years, the price has rocketed, hence looking for a substitute, use filter machine, do you know something good?
