We once tried the coffee that passes through the intestines of a civet cat. I think it was about £20 for 4 ounces. It really was the most beautiful coffee, but hardly something you'd drink every day.

Also look at Rise Coffee on line.
They have a different selection each month so you get a chance to savour different blends. Never had one I don't like and I buy decaf from them.

I like Grumpy Mule, various kinds and ethically sourced which I prefer. One of my granddaughters is working in a roastery in Sussex, all very ethically sourced too. They do mail order, I’ve enjoyed their sample packs. Hopefully I’ve attached a link

There are some great websites online and local independent shops.

We love our coffee ground from beans at home, we often buy small packs of different beans and mix our own.

Serve piping hot with single cream (& a dash of something stronger on special days!)

We loved trying the flavoured beans too, our favourites are flavoured with alcohol haha

I like Costa's beans. Not too strong.

I agree. You need to find the flavours you prefer. Most packs in supermarkets have tasting notes which are helpful. I like chocolate/nutty/treacly flavours so I seek them out.

Whittards do a selection box of coffees from around the world, I think there are about 9 different ones in the box. they are a good starting point to decide what type and taste of beans you like. I think you need to try quite a few before you can really hone down to your favourite.

Go on line to Roast and Post, we alway use them as DH is very fussy about his coffee. They roast your beans to order and dispatch them immediately, usually next day delivery. They do a taster pack, so you can make a choice to your preference.
We always have the beans, but they will grind them for you.

I've suddenly taken to enjoying coffee, (been a tea drinker most of my life).
So I've bought a coffee grinder and was wondering what recommendations for buying coffee beans.
I've tried Taylors and Asdas but wasn't that impressed . Thanks
