Most of you coffee snobs are going to be disgusted with me when I say this but Tesco have great (columbian) beans on offer under the "Tesco's finest range" !!:oops: (only cost me €2.50 for a bag !!)
I'm very fussy when it comes to my coffee but I tried them out of curiosity and they produced great creama with a fantastic rich aroma - much nicer than what Illy have to offer for a third of the price (Using an Ascaso Inova dream/grinder).
As the old expression goes....don't knock it until you've tried it
