look at the banners on the site, too many to mention, I have used 5 so far and all have been excellent. Lots of internet companies could learn alot from these coffee companies when it comes to customer service

Additionally, check the forum banners for offers from our sponsors.

Currently some are offering an extra 10/15/20% off their prices

Funny, just bought some Taylors beans and they're not too bad (ran out of fresh and fancied a change from Tesco's own)

Why do you drink supermarket beans?

Because I ran out of my fresh so usually have a bag of supermarket ones to fall back on. Off away soon so will no doubt be bringing some fresh ones back home fro, Edinburgh - plus I'll be paying my local roasters a visit to try some different ones from them in the near future - or some Cervetii beans from a lovely café we sometimes go to in York (£20/kg) nice and fruity.

I'm just staring out - got mine from Starbucks online - Peru, Houseblend and Caffe Verona. Starbucks are not on your list - have I gone the wrong way? (Waiting for a grinder before I can comment on taste.

Thanks

We all started somewhere. You'll definitely get a better result from fresh whole beans roasted by a specialist roaster - like those listed on the roasters thread Glenn refers to in post 2 above. So lots to look forward to once you get your new grinder.

I'd recommend www.coffeecompass.co.uk , great beans that usually arrive freshly roasted the day after ordering and they have a 20% off discount code of "happycoffeebean" until 3rd May.

If you like dark roasts then you have to try their Monsoon Malabar Hit Mahogany roast.

Definitely hasbean and foundry coffee in Sheffield

The hasbean espresso or filter starter packs are a good place to start - 5 bags of different beans for £20. Don't buy coffee from supermarkets - you can do much much better direct from one of the roasters recommended on the forum.

I use thecoffeeroasters.co.uk for a monthly sub, fully flexible, no commitment, you can also buy from roasters direct through the site, loyalty scheme too

It is hard for me to do internet subscriptions in the area I live. My habit is to collect small amount of beans from every outlet within possible reach, at cheap or affordable prices, and then grind/brew/sample as much as I can. It could be a good way to learn the craft and training my taste buds while manage some savings for good beans.

Another plus for Compass! Really enjoying several of their offerings.

## lawriemiller (May 3, 2015)

Highly reccomend the following:

HasBean, Koppi, The Barn Berlin, James Gourmet, drop coffee (swedish), alchemy.

All can be purchased online for £6 plus or I higlhy recommend a good highs treet coffee shop that sells good speciality coffee.
