Too Much Coffee

Hi all!

This is my first post in TMC, so hi everyone !

I've been reading CG and HB for a while, and a lot of people there talk about Black Cat, Hair Bender, Toscano, and a long list of signature blends from US roasters (I haven't tried any yet).

Is there any UK roaster offering a signature blend? The only one I'm aware of is HasBean's Espresso Blend.

Cheers!

Hi Rob and welcome to TMC

UK signature blends? James Gourmet Coffee has the 'Formula 6' blend that a few folks round here have spoken highly about. A bit like Intelli', HB has a few well known 'name' blends, Perfetio is well worth trying, we have it quite often and really enjoy it. Perfetio is one of Breako Boy's favourites - he'll probably be along in a bit to extol it's virtues

Steves Cup of Excellence espresso blend is a real treat too

Nah can't stand it Cakes

Thanks for the answers, I'm new to the UK coffee "scene" so I don't know who's who and where to get good freshly roasted coffee from.

Thanks for your recommendations .

WBC Espresso from Square Mile is running out fast, so try it before it goes.

Actually it ran out a fair while ago.

Have got two bags of Perfetio in the post!

Never tried it before, looking forward to the experience!

You'll love it Quoad...I hope

Good lord, I've only just realised that it's only five days old

I've got through nearly 250g Though a lot of that's been experimentation!

FINALLY got it running perfectly through the MCAL today And've twigged why you love it! It might be that it's had a few more days to develop (it's still only 5 days old!) or it could be finally getting the temperature JUST right on the MCAL (which tends to need a LOT of warming up). But - yep - great stuff!

I introduced someone to espresso yesterday (new French assistant, 21yrs old, ex ballerina, etc ) with Muchoki peaberry, and Steve's Skyberry / CoE el Portillo. All through the Zaff (frankly, less chance of f*%^ing up the extraction). Next time, I'll be offering MCALed Perfetio And, um, mebbes some Sumatran Decaff. And, hmmm, *thinks....*
