Sorry, little PHP problem, all sorted now.
Try this list as a start.
It needs a bit of updating, which we hope to get around to soon, as we're in the process of completely revising the site at the moment. On which note, if anybody else has any references to add to the list either send them to me in a PM, or mention them here for our new chum RS.

Have you considered roasting your own? If you can make the time, there is nothing better than the smell of freshly roasted coffee. The price differential between constant deliveries of fresh roasted beans and large supplies of greens could easily fund a good roaster IMHO
Coffee Plant on Portobello Road could be added to that list (which already contains a few excellent choices) - They supply to the trade and have a good range of beans

Oooh, put me down for a couple of kilos of their Strong French.... 75% robusta
Looks like another roaster who is anti-homeroast too
As for roasting your own, Staff, I'd avoid this to start off with, as it requires quite an investment in time, skill and money. Try and focus on simply producing a decent espresso, and I mean something that members around here would actually drink. If you can do that, you'll be ahead of the game for a start!

Seriously: if you consider roasting in house, I suggest you go and check out the RedRoaster in Brighton, which is still one of the most amazing coffee houses I've ever seen. He has a beautiful red Probat (I think, might be a Dietrich) in his shop, spends all day roasting while his staff prepare great espresso's, latte's, teas. He even has a small kitchen for panini's and muffins. It's the completest coffee shop experience.
