Coffee recommendations?

[Retired_member41]

Just been looking at bags of costa coffee beans on ebay, I do like costa but weary about sources as I didn't know they sold them etc

Anyone have any favourites? At reasonable prices, no recommendations for £100 a cup coffee lol

I have a Tassimo coffee machine at home and work, you can buy Costa pods for it or use their own flavours. Costa is smart about promoting their brand and product use outside of their own stores.

I should have shares in them the amount I spend on good coffee!

Try Illy coffee Caz

Caz - this is my favourite:

But I drink espresso generally not milky - but it's very smooth and creamy done in small shots.

above out of stock, try here:

Yes espresso is me too, that one must be out of stock, will add it to the wish list.

Thanks for the advice, may look at a pod machine.

Good choice Dale, I have this already lol, thought in moving from ground to bean I will try something else. hence the costa type mix.

If you are looking at a pod machine, Nespresso takes some beating.

The Senseo machines are good when you get a Coffee Duck for them - http://www.coffeeduck.com/en which means you aren't limited to coffee pods you can get whatever ground coffee you like.

I quite like -

I used to drink Jamaican Blue Mountain, cool little coffee bean shop in the trafford centre in manchester, when I was working for night clubs doing marketting used to try all different coffee's when I stopped in. My boss of the time was happy swapping drinks vouchers (alcohol over the bar) for coffee which always amused me somewhat.

Anyway of the dozens I tried blue mountain was one of my fav

Thats just pure dirt could never drink instant coffee.

lavazza coffee is nice which you can buy from most places if you love coffee get a bean to cup machine

 

[nick-harper]

Has anybody tried rocket fuel coffee? It isn't one for the fine coffee experts but if you need a kick it certainly wakes you up!

 

[TinkyWinky]

Steampunk Coffee - small coffee house in North Berwick - but they send nationwide and take paypal!

Second off - lavazza espresso beans... sorted!!

Get a decent grinder - i.e. £300 decent in order not to 'burn' the beans as you grind - and to get a consistent size for the coffee...

I love coffee....

Quite enjoy, Lava Java for an early morning cup. Link to it below but I usually get smaller packs from Asda or tescos if they are stocking it.

Coffee for me:

+

No milk(after being in the UK for a few years I am still surprised by this) and no sugar.

I have a posh coffee place in the building where I live but nothing is better then putting the kettle on and throwing a wee bit of Nescafe in the cup

Met the owner a few times and seems a good service and coffee.

I have a Bean to Cup Machine (Delonghi Magnifica S) and try a variety of different beans. Keeps it interesting. A big fan of the Italian varieties though
