Aside from anything Espresso, I have been drinking supermarket roasted whole beans that I have been grinding myself. Now I have sorted out how to roast Malabar Gold for my Classic, I want to buy in some green for my daily work Press pot coffee.
The beans I tend to favour are the supermarket Classic blends. I don't like the heavy dark roasts too much as the burnt flavour overpowers, and I'm not too fussed with the very citrus like, weaker blends that lack the full body and all round flavour.
I seem to favour the blends that are marked "3" out of 5, 5 being the darkest. Best of both worlds. Obviously, a good all round press pot green would have price to match its all round performance! I don't want anything costing £££'s to start! Or cheap crap either!
I'm looking at HasBean, and there's just too much. I know... personal taste... have to try them etc...
But, I want a couple of kilos of a trusted banker to enjoy as I try others. Any ideas?? I know roasting to different levels will make a difference... but there must be a consensus on a good press pot coffee?
Cheers
