Calling all coffee lovers

We LOVE coffee and we have a 'plan' with Pact coffee www.pactcoffee.com By subscribing, we get a better price (£7.95 per 250g bag) and can chose between ground, beans and pods. We can chose the delivery frequency and can change it at any time, also 'hurry up' or 'delay' a delivery as our needs alter. It is quite frankly, the best tasting coffee we've ever had. And they buy the complete crop from small coffee growers all over the world, thus ensuring the growers get a better price than even Fair Trade. If you wanted to give them a try, you can message me for a discount code. Happy supping!

I have freshly roasted beans delivered every two weeks from Pebble and Pine coffee roasters. I highly recommend them and have been a customer for a few years. I also buy Lavazza Oro 100% Arabica beans and sometimes mix the two together. I have a Krups ceramic blade coffee bean grinder, that is excellent too. I use a French press and yes I confess to being a bit of a coffee snob.

I love Littles but haven't tried any of the flavoured ones. Its the Colombian Premium Instant for me every time.

This doesn't help you, sorry, I'm just responding for the heck of it. I'm a coffee pleb, I guess - I prefer Sainsbury's decaffeinated instant coffee with 2 heaped teaspoons of Coffee Mate stirred in it (anti-clockwise, please). I could drink it all day, hot or cold. Fresh ground coffee always tastes burnt and nasty to my uneducated palate - I'd rather drink floor-sweepings tea!

I drink tea. Nuff said.

I saw Dragons Den and thought I’d give Littles coffee a go.
At present, Lavazza decaf for me any day. I buy the ready ground from Amazon, 8 packets, definitely cheaper than supermarkets up till now.

I like a really strong full flavoured coffee so I always buy either Aldi or Lidl french blend ground coffee and use plenty in my cafetiere.

Littles Coffee. I use their Colombian Premium Instant. Won't use anything else now.
They were on Dragons Den last night too and did well!

For powder - Lavazza. Beans - Taylors of Harrogate available in supermarkets. Also, Volcano, Kiss the Hippo and Electric Coffee all great coffee's, beans or powder, order on-line, no monthly subscription necessary.

Ringtons have great coffee.

Columbian ground, every time, from any of the supermarkets.

I do a postal subscribe with Monmouth Coffee in London. Such good coffee

Thankyou all with your suggestions I will take a look at the coffee grinders

Can anyone suggest a coffee bean grinder. Nothing expensive . I don't want to buy a liquidiser, just something small to grind beans . Thankyou

John Lewis do a very nice one for £25.

The Costa Rican coffee is lovely, especially the “pea” coffee.

I’ve got an old Kenwood one that my mum gave me, which does a great job. They still make them I think.

Lavazza beans, we grind ours.

I vary my coffee choices. I know what flavours I like to look for - chocolate, caramel, almond, treacle- and read the tasting notes on the packs of different coffees. Currently, I'm drinking organic Machu Pichu.

I’m struggling to find a ground coffee that I like, having been given a stainless steel cafetière, I have poor sight so safer. It has to be decaf which limits my choice. Not sure if it’s the coffee or the way I make it though I do follow the instructions to the letter.

Aldi do lots of different coffee of various strengths for filter machines, we use their decaffeinated coffee, they do coffee beans as well.

DH is a coffee fan. We use a company called ‘Post and Roast’. You order on line they roast the beans and you get them the next day. You can choose beans or ready ground.
They do a tasting pack so you can make a choice. Currently we’re having Morning Reviver at Breakfast.

I subscribe to the Coffee company "Rise" they send me different coffees every other month. They are all from artisans coffee companies in the UK.
I first became aware of them after I was given an Advent calendar bought from JL a year ago.
Never had anything I dislike so far, tried many shop bought ones , some definitely unpleasant.

I buy fresh beans and grind them when needed. Currebtly enjoying Honduran arabica.
Just to add some flavour to this thread I did watch a video on youtube of James Hoffman buying and drinking a single espresso that cost £265. And yes, that is two hundred and sixty five pounds!
