Booths coffee

[fred25]

Came upon the 'coffee' page of the Booths supermarket website, which (incredulously) mentions things as freshness of beans (they claim their beans are available in stores 24h after having been roasted), and 'hand-roasting' - apparently they have their own in-house roaster:

So i was wondering if anyone had tried any of their coffees? I'm not expecting them to be actually good (what we would call good!), but are they actually better than what you usually get in supermarkets and the like?

I wonder if Cakey knows they got a picture of him on their website

[CakeBoy]

Indeed, and did they not catch my good side wonderfully? As you can see, I am adjusting my new headset in the photograph

[fred25]

yeah, though that right hand is curiously empty of any sort of cake....

I think we should be told what happened!

[CakeBoy]

My cake! Who took ........

[kingseven]

I used to work for Edwin Booth - I will try and find out a bit more about it all....

[fred25]

thanks, I'd be really interested what the score is....

(nice to know that there's at least one person staying on topic )

[Gouezeri]

We have topics???
Would be good to find out whatever you can Jim. I realise this isn't going to be an ideal option for most of us, but it could definitely be a step in the right direction for the general masses, and for that I think it should be applauded.

Topics schmopics.

Schmopics ....... I prefer pain au raisin; no chafing either

[marionhaste]

I do not want to know what you could possibly do with a pain au raisin that would cause chafing. It really is Too Much Information.

Pass the smelling salts. Gah.

[CakeBoy]

Pain au raisin doesn't chafe ....... but pain au chocolate, now that's another story!

[fred25]

there's no e at the end of pain au chocolat, Cakey.... (I'm just letting you know before Dom sees it and you have to suffer the shame of being corrected by him!)

[Gouezeri]

Actually Fred, the kinda places that Mark frequents, that is what they call em

[fred25]

then I don't really want to know!

(honestly, spelling that with an e.... tut tut tut )
