I’ve just got my first espresso machine (Sage Bambino Plus) and grinder (DF54) and I’m just wondering where you lot buy your beans because the selection in supermarkets is really poor.

Thanks
 
There's quite a few Roasters in Kent that I know of. I've bought from myself:

Lost Sheep Coffee (Shop in Canterbury)
Garage Coffee (Shop in Canterbury)
Micro Roastery (Shop in Canterbury)
Curve Coffee (Shop in Margate)
Kin Coffee (Shop in Staplehurst)

Not tried:

Corban Coffee
Bean Smitten
Herbert & Ward
Blueprint (Shop in Whitstable) I have been in that shop but they did not roast their own coffee at the time.
We are Here
Real Deal Coffee
Do Good Coffee
Coffee Bean Shop
Coldblow Coffee
Harbour Coffee
Lost Barn Coffee
Penelope Coffee
Tunbridge Wells Coffee Roastery

To name but a few..... :D;)
 
I've enjoyed Rave, Grind and lately York Emporium. Don't write off supermarket coffee completely. It can be decent in a pinch and you save a fortune. Out of desparation I picked up a back of Morrisons brand "Italian Style" beans for £3.60, grind at 12 on my DF54 and they're honestly better than a number of "let's try this" bags I've had from Rave/Grind etc. Coffee is super subjective.
 
pact coffee for years - still on their "Pioneer" pricing which is from years ago as an early subscriber.

You can vary the timings of the deliveries etc to suit your needs.
 
Skylark are my favourite but a bit pricey at around £40 a month for my consumption.

Was given a few codes for Rave so been back on their fudge blend the past couple of months at only £20.

Hi guys, Been using cafehormozi for years, however, I think their website may have been hacked or something, because a few weeks ago they were absolutely spamming my inbox with wierd messages, literally hundreds, which looked liked posts of some kind however were all in a foreign language, I...

I'm still using Redber as their range is superb and they frequently have discounts.

Why is it every coffee website has a million tracking sites and bloat though? I swear half of them I visit don't even function right with their floating windows for reward points etc. Rave was the worst out of the lot.
 
Amazon :D
Amazon's own beans, 1kg for anywhere between £11 and 18, depending on pricing fluctuations.

I dont "Buy" coffee,

I get free coffee from the work coffee machine,

no idea where they get it from,


Probably some coffee vending company, no idea where they get it from, probably a wholesaler

no idea where the wholesaler gets it from, probably some coffee runner

no idea where the coffee runner gets it from, probably somewhere in Cambodia

I was on Rave for a while and enjoyed their coffee, but the website and their constant push for reward schemes etc ended up driving me away.
Also, your signature...I know I'm new here but I feel I should be asking questions...

Do you also write reviews for things you have not bought or not used/opened?
