TT if you want to try a selection of beans then Monmouth will sell you beans in multiples of 10grams which is a great way to do a tasting session to see what you like.

I can't see how you can order online. Do they deliver or do I have to collect?

I can wholeheartedly recommend Hasbean. Have bought from them for years. If you drop them an email and tell them you're a coffee noob and that you'll be pairing with a cigar then they'll send you a list of recomendations. Really lovely folk who live and breath coffee!

Coffee

Evening all. Coming back to this post I have now finally got a decent espresso machine. I went for the Delonghi Scultura which has great reviews on pretty much every website. Now I'm after a website where I can order a selection of different beans, like a selection box so I can try deferent blends. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Gents,

Looking to try a coffee and a cigar for the first time as I keep seeing and reading about how well they can go together.

So I'm just after any advice on flavours or blends to try.

Cheers

I don't think you can go wrong with a freshly ground Cuban or Jamaican coffee with any of your favourite cigars, Brew ,light up,sit back, relax and ENJOY!!!

Tommy, I've got the duo version of this machine (makes filter as well). The espresso is by no means top of the range but we've had ours for several years now and it makes perfectly good coffee. You could do much much worse for ?25

I concure a burr grinder is better. For every day user I use an Andrew James filter machine with an integrated burr grinder. Makes a lovely brew. With regards to beans, it's very much personal taste. I'm lucky enough to have a small coffee and tea murchant near by, so everything is fresh and unbranded. My favourite bean is Jamaican Blue Mountain, smooth with a lovely flavour; but it's very expensive - ?50 plus for 500g so its an occasional treat bought but the 100g. In general I tend drink either a Costa Rican or Kenyan Blue Mountain bean. With regards to espresso I like a darker roast Arabica bean, although Levazza make a lovely espresso coffee. But try different blends until you find something you like.

If you're going to start grinding and haven't yet bought a grinder, then go for a burr grinder over a blade grinder. Burrs give you a much more uniform grind which will make better coffee.

You could try Hasbean.co.uk as a place to start for coffee beans. Worth emailing them and asking for recommendations - they're very knowledgable people and always happy to help.
