Was round at a mates house this week, and they used this machine. Have to say, I was impressed at the coffee. I checked out the price though, and gave it a miss. I’ll stick to my stainless steel drip method.

I’ll add to the mix the espresso beans from..IKEA!
Surprised me, very nice!
Other than that, coffee direct or pumphreys in grainier market.
Always buy beans as well and grind them when you want to use them. Avoid pre ground as the flavours already been largely lost!
The IKEA ones are ok but give the Aldi ones a shot and let me know your thoughts.
Have no coffee roasting places established in Sunderland yet ?
Always liked Pumphrey's while up in the North East.
Currently use an Aeropress. I am the only coffee drinker in the house, and for the amount I drink can't justify a coffee to bean machine. I also enjoy the ritual of grinding the beans and creating the brew. It is like a meditation.

Coffee to bean sounds interesting - backwards meditation?
You imagine the grounds spiralling back up into the machine, passing through the burr and turning into beans.
It inspired some of Hawking's best work on black holes.
Will give them a whirl mate.
Always end up going back to illy.
Loved monsoon malabar from coffee direct but the beans are oily so eventually messed up old machine! Tried beans of the same name from pumphreys in Newcastle; rank! Not even close.

Never ordered yet but these always seem to get good reviews. Going to give them a try next time I have to buy some coffee.

I use Pact coffee to get my ground stuff, they do the perfect grind for my Aeropress that I use at work
I just buy beans in bulk off amazon for my bean-to-cup at home usually a tenner for a kilo bag

Tesco Sumatran beans are nice, as are Waitrose espresso beans and Monsoon Malabar.
I've tried loads and keep going back to these over ones that cost far more.
Pumphreys do some nice ones mind.

you're much better in using an online service that roast beans to order. Even after having the same bag for about a month I can notice the difference, you get less crema on an espresso the older they are. Supermarket beans must have been roasted months before you buy them.
