Quality coffees in the UK?

Hi everyone,
In main land Europe, it is pretty easy to find good beans for my Maximatic. However, in Great Britain, its different.......they love their instant coffee.

If anyone could possibly give me some names, that would be great.

cheers.

Hi

For internet suppliers, I've used and been very happy with hasbean (http://www.hasbean.co.uk) and the beanshop (http://www.thebeanshop.co.uk). Both offer good selections and fast delivery service.

Burgil Coffee and Monmouth Coffee also ought to be good; I don't have any personal experience working with their coffees, but I have had quite good espressos made from their beans at Climpson & Sons (who I believe use Burgil's coffee) and flat white (who I am quite certain use Monmouth's coffee).

It is not clear from the websites, though, whether it is possible to mail order from those two roasters.

Another question, i keep on hearing that different coffees suite different machines. I tried many different coffees with my Maximatic, and thought that i found the right one.

But why is that the case? Is there something like a set answer?

Thanks a lot!

As excited about it as I am, I wouldn't expect anything for a few months. (I am working on it though!)

Another vote for http://www.hasbean.co.uk - have bought only a few 250g packs from them thus far, but swift delivery and freshly roasted, great tasting coffee... highly recommended

In addition to the others people have mentioned, you might check out Hill and Valley Coffee in Aylesbury. His tastes run darker than mine, but what he does he does well, so it's worth a look.

Best,
David

Agreed, Hasbean and Hill & Valley produce great coffees. Here's a particular coffee that worth trying at some time in the future : Dominican Republic Barahona and the only place in the uk that I can find this is Anothercoffee http://tinyurl.com/2cllsl
