ive been to monmouth a few times. lovely place to sit and have a cup if their seat is free.

ill have to check markus coffee out,
was handed a family heirloom the other day, a 1920's brass hand coffee grinder. my gran used it all her life. funnily enough it grinds as well as my electric burr grinder. and does espresso size better.

Selected from the Wallenford Estate, this is the quintessential classic coffee. Rich flavour, aroma, full body and balanced, mild acidity. Of all coffees this must most closely match the description given by Sheikh Abd-al-Kadir in 1587 that "coffee is like common man's gold, and like gold it brings to every man the feeling of luxury and nobility". Considered the 'Rolls Royce' of coffees - they certainly make us pay for it!

I don't drink coffee anymore but Monmouth Street Coffee is the equivalent to JJFox - Robert Lewis as far as I'm concerned. A mecca.

Markus Coffee on Connaught Street has been there since I was a nipper. I remember being sent there repeating "a quarter pound of fidelio fine ground please" all the way so that I wouldn't forget! Over the last 40 years the neighbourhood has changed a lot (Tony Blair now lives around the corner) but this shop has remained. That must mean something.

I work near Harrods and so pop in there every few weeks to pick up some coffee. I get them to grind the beans as i dont have a grinder at home. Seems to stay fresh for a couple of weeks but is drinkable for longer.

At the moment i've got something called Bourbon Brazil and some from the Galapagos Islands. I've heard good things about Monmouth Coffee in London but never been there..

I normally go for this Medaglia D'oro. I love the stuff. Unfortunatly I have to rely on family sending it over as it's an Italian Coffee you can only buy in the US. Figure that out? I have yet to see anywhere in the UK that sells it,



I'd like to try some of this cuban coffee as well, if I can find where to get it.

wow
how complicated is the roasting process? do you just oven roast or over the hob?

[TomUfer]

I buy green coffee beans and roast them myself at home. My main source is www.sweetmarias.com. They are in the states but I'm pretty sure they ship anywhere. Perhaps there is a similar outfit in the UK?

what coffee are you drinking right now?

I am drinking frappe

Right I'm tired of my cheap beans. I want to rediscover my love for single origin coffee.

I used to get all my beans from red roaster in brighton, a favourite haunt. I don't get the chance to go there much any more and am looking for the best online alternative.

So, where do you get your coffee!
and what single origins/blends do you like the most
what coffee are you drinking right now?
and isn't coffee the best thing? the bestest of best things

COFFEE!!!!
