Where's the best place to buy genuine Kopi Luwak, I want to try it, just for the hell of it.
However I want to avoid cheap imitations or blends - any previous purchases amongst you?
It was only a matter of time and you know it![]()
Good luck!! I'm sure the coffee will be top notch!!![]()

Hope you don't also go for Square Mile - they're great but when every cafe around is using Red Brick it can get boring.
Sacrilege but anyone have a suggestion for the best coffee I can buy in any of the main supermarkets or Costa? I usually buy full bean from somewhere like Hasbean, Square Mile or Union but got some family popping round at short notice tomorrow and I don't think I've got enough good stuff left. Will be ground for espresso (Gaggia Classic) and likely made into a milk based drink.
Any suggestions much appreciated. As I say, limited to supemarkets (got them all I think) and Costa.
Thanks!
Done, thanks for the tip. Will bung some through first thing to get a taste for it.The columbian is quite nice is very nutty and milk chocolately.
Well I have been using Sainsbury's taste the difference beans while trying out my new gaggia and they taste fine.
Still need to order my non-pressurised basket and shot glasses but I am finding the whole experience with my first espresso machine wonderful. I don't think I could ever get bored, I can see this new passion of mine costing me a lot more in a few years when I take the next step up in espresso machine.
Have you got a location in mind? West London is short of decent coffee shops![]()
Whats the best bang for buck coffee machine to buy??
Im a barista myself in M&S cafe and work with £10k machines, (how id love one at home)
any good options? Also id love to see others latte art if they have any pics! i was trained by the best coffee maker in the nation![]()
I've got a Gaggia Classic at home, so I don't need an Aeropress as wellNot tried those coffees but you'll get a far better with something as cheap as an Aeropress and a hand grinder. From boiling the kettle, you'll have a nice cup within a couple of minutes. You'll find it hard to stomach instant coffee after that.
The pressurised baskets have replaced the included non-pressurised that come with the Classic and I think it's been a couple of years since they started doing that. The non-pressurised baskets are cheap and easily available though.

So what's the difference between the normal basket and a pressurised one then? And why did they change it if it's not as good?
Edit: oh, it's got a weird disc thing on the bottom of the basket. For improved crema, right?
