Coffee Addicts Unite!

A bit late now, but we got the Marks & Spencer's Christmas blend and that was good.

Now though we have to work through all the coffee we brought back from the US - Green Mountain Rainforest Nut (a favourite of DW), a can of Chock Full O'Nuts (just love having the can in the kitchen, and a block of espresso (I forget the brand - not Burritos but similar)

For those interested: Taylor's of Harrogate is offering a free sample of their Rich Italian coffee.

We are Starbucks addicts and love any of their bolder blends...so sad Costco discontinued bulk bean bags.   

Otherwise, we get American coffees from AmericanSweets (Choc full of nuts, Dunkin Donuts, etc.)--sometimes you can get the flavoured creamers.

The best gourmet coffee shop I know in the UK (not that I know them all...lol) is a place in Perth that has outstanding coffees from all over the globe, including decaff (Spring water, not chemical).  If you're in town you should stop by because they will let you try anything.  Otherwise you can purchase online:
thebeanshop (dot) com.
(although they don't carry flavoured coffees but do stock certain syrups.

What I miss most of all, though, is PUMPKIN SPICE!!

Whole Foods in London do Pumpkin Spice coffees year round.

Do they?  I wonder if they ship?  Last time I sent them an email inquiry and they never responded!  

Gosh, I haven't been to London in over 3 years.  

**I just looked on their website & Glasgow is getting a Whole Foods Fall 2011**

I dont think they ship. I go there everyday as I work right next door to one and haven't seen anything about shipping.

Maybe this is a good excuse to come to London

Maybe...lol.  Perhaps when DH goes down for his DCF stuff.   

Many thanks for the info JenniferB!

I LOVE coffee....Matt, my fiance calls me the "coffee monster"

Today, I got a double shot from tesco-but I just felt like a treat.

But usually we buy Sainsbury's Peru coffee blend, or Tesco's Fair Trade Costa Rico Roast, both of these coffees are pretty good (I used to work at Starbucks, so I know good coffee) and a decent price-about £2.30, we think they are the best ground coffees you can get for a good deal also, I recommend them.

I also hope to get a job a Costa, or Starbuck's when I come back over on my spouse visa...but the job market doesn't look that great in the UK....fingers crossed.

Monmouth in London sells the best coffee I've ever tried. Only problem is, whenever I go in there for beans, I come out with a cup of coffee too!

Doesn't sound like a problem to me!

Green Mountain offers decent coffee.  My parents used to drink Chock Full o'Nuts, and we used to call it "chocked full of nuts and bolts" because it's so gross.  The other one they used to drink was Chase and Sanbourn.  Blech.

We always had Maxwell House... Good to the last drop perc coffee growing up

Just finished my stash of DD coffee that i brought back with me from my Thanksgiving Hols in Massachusetts .. waaaaaaa 

Back to Taylors of Harrogate.. I like quite a few of them so thats okay till I can get another stash of DD lol
Recently bought n tried Taylors Cafe Imperial. its quite nice.. tho my favourite for getting me awake n going is still the Java Lava.. quite a kick in it lolol
LOVE LOVE my fresh coffee and my smart cafe one cup cafetiere mug!!!

Maxwell House or Folger's

I've been drinking Waitrose's single-origin coffees, and they aren't too bad.  A little stronger than I am used to with Sainsbury's single-origins.  I ordered a different region this week, but right now I can't remember which it is.  We're finishing up a bag of Kenyan.

I might try out Monmouth.

We are down in London tomorrow for 3 days so I'll look out for Monmouth inbetween checking out the real ale pubs I've listed!
