Hasbean service is fantastic always a quick turnaround, and the beans come in nice resealable pouches.

And another +1

Totally agree with both of the above recommendations.

ok so I will try Has Bean and Union.

Where do you like? If you're ever down in Brighton you are welcome to try a whole load of stuff at my place....

These are good enough for my palate but I'm no expert.

im in northants so no where near you

thanks anyway.

Ricky,

I'm assuming that you're fairly new to coffee at this level. If I'm wrong, I apologise and didn't mean to sound condesending. I would strongly advise you to buy several bags so don't base your costs on shipping just one bag. It is highly likely that you will "waste" the first bag trying to dial-in your grinder and then you'll have nothing left to enjoy.

I am new yes

True but buying from different places will be expensive and at the moment I dont have much money.
Only paid £60 for my Gaggia Cubika Plus and then £20 for the Porlex so its a budget kitchen ha ha

I will prob buy 2 different beans from has bean and try them both.

Ricky,

That's what I'm recommending - buy from one place to keep the postage lower, but I would suggest buying at least two bags of the same bean. Don't under estimate how difficult it can be to dial-in a bean when you've not done it before. Paul
