My absolute favourite is made with Yirbacheffe beans, very strong with a splash of not milk.

Other than that any really nice bean made the same way.

This weeks guest coffee is Lofbergs, Brazilian Arabica, sweet and caramelly, medium roast.

I’m looking forward to the next one - ‘Grumpy Mule’ roasted in Yorkshire.. it’s a very dark roast. I’m a little concerned to be honest

My needs are simple: either a good espresso macchiato or an Americano. At home, always from my trusty Moka pot (also, can we have a word about its beautiful, timeless design quality?!).

I occasionally treat myself to a flat white or cappuccino, but only if I know the place makes good ones; I won't chance it anywhere...

I grind beans and create a blend from 3, 4 and sometimes 5 strength beans. It just means the coffee is never quite the same and more interesting.

Sounds like fun lol but why not just buy the already ground stuff and mix it?

I looked at this a while back grinding beans I mean. But the beans are the same price as the already ground coffee for the same weight

"Pumpkin spice lattes.

When I'm not being a basic bitch? Probably a double espresso with a brown sugar cube but I'm not really meant to be drinking caffeine at the moment so I normally have an iced coffee and pretend the ice lessens the effect of caffeine."
Yes, when you are not that, that double expresso with brown sugar sounds good too. Iced coffee is good. I see. I couldnt go a day without caffeine, could you?

Coffee.

And if coffee is available, a cappuccino.

And if I could stretch you to serve me something special, it’s a salted caramel or a gingerbread from Costa.

Or simply shove some rum Into a freshly ground filtered coffee, and whipped cream.

A macchiato with a reduced amount of milk, using dark roast beans (preferably an African variety). Freshly ground and using a warmed cup.

I did have some beans once that had been stored in bourbon barrels, which gave the coffee a wonderful flavour. It was definitely an after dinner taste, not for daytime drinking.

Because I find pre-ground coffee loses the fresh aroma a day or so after opening the packet. Beans seem to retain the aroma which is released on each new grinding. I'm no expert, but I think this is because ground coffee oxidises once the packet is opened. That doesn't happen with beans because they have less surface area exposed to air - the volatile compounds remain locked-up.

I enjoy getting coffee beans from Square Mile, their Filter Blend is lovely but will sometimes splash out on one of their speciality blends however both are not cheap.

I most often get Union Sumatran coffee beans from Sainsbury's as love the aroma and taste but also are the only off the shelf brand I've seen that have a "Roasted On" date so i can get the most recently roasted one.

I usually brew using a Clever Dripper but on occasion will break out the Mokka Pot

I use the Has Bean inverted Aeropress recipe. I get their beans.

In the... many years I've had their subscription (once a week), I've had two coffees I genuinely didn't like.

I first started buying from them a decade ago, so that's a bit of an ask

The farm that springs to mind is El Salvador Finca Argentina, although Brazil Fazenda Inglaterra and Cachoeira da Grama also spring to mind, and Bolivian coffee is always pretty special.

Or try their filter pack on their website - it's very good value compared to individual bags, if you can spring to it.
