I try and avoid buying coffee in the supermarket if possible. If you're in London, these guys are great: http://www.monmouthcoffee.co.uk/ - I get my coffee from them whenever I can, and stop in at there shop and grab a cup if I have a moment...they know how to brew their coffee nicely. They do mail order as well. Whittards also do a bunch of fair trade stuff and their prices and quality are pretty good. I've started recently grinding my own, but am still experimenting to try and get it to taste as good as the guys at Monmouth Street...I expect this is a neverending battle. billy (who has just finished a cup of Guatamalan Elephant [bean size, not passed through civit style] and is now bouncing off the walls) -- Billy Abbott Photography - http://www.cowfish.org.uk/paw/
