OK, so my brother in law got me an aeropress coffee maker for Christmas, it is awesome, so smooth and easy espresso.
Anyways, I am trying to find some good recommendations for online coffee, ie beans you can order online, I am sure there will be more than one wanabee barista's who can help me out...
Ta!
Not sure if they sell online but http://www.monmouthcoffee.co.uk/ is my first stop if I'm in London.
Booths supermarkets if you're in the NW.
I bought an Aeropress a year ago and bought my brother one this Christmas.
Having gone through a few different supermarket ground coffees and being dissapointed I have started buying from Hasbean.co.uk, just finishing their Jailbreak blend and ordered some of their other stuff.
They also have a handy Aeropress tuition video on the page for the Aeropress. They use the upside down method that I abandoned as too fiddly, but they say to rinse the filter as it leaves a taste in the coffee. The upside of this, is it makes the filter stick to the base and not move off centre, so it suddenly makes the upside down method much easier 🙂
P.S If you are buying pre-ground (you may sniff, but the Aeropress is nearly as quick as making a cup of tea, but my hand grinder takes ages!) then you should buy the filter grind.
I've been using [url= http://hasbean.co.uk/ ]Hasbean[/url] for years. Great service and proper fresh coffee, i.e. order on day 1, roasted on day 2, arrives day 3. Actually, I need to place an order today...
+1 for hasbean
Yep, another vote for hasbean here. Great coffee. My current favourite is their Blake Espresso blend.
Mmmm coffee time I think
The Bean Shop in Perth do good coffee (as beans or ground), and will sell it online.

I had an order go AWOL in the Christmas post, I let them know and a duplicate fwas sent out immediately 🙂 it was only a week late. (early December so before everything goes nuts)
Intrigued by the Aeropress, hadn't seen that before. Just watched the video and all - I might just nab one of those.
I use a Nespresso machine at home, find it excellent.
Another +1 for both Hasbean and the Aeropress.
I'm liking the [url= http://www.hasbean.co.uk/products/Ethiopia-Konga-Peaberry-Natural.html ]Ethiopian Peaberry[/url] in the Hasbean subscription pack this week. Tiny tiny beans. Great coffee.
I love my aeropress.
It gives consistently excellent results combined with a Bodum Latteo milk frother.
For supermarket coffee, I find that Lavazza is best.
Beefy - you're in Holmfirth so you should be getting some Grumpy Mule from Meltham ([url= http://www.grumpymule.co.uk/ ]http://www.grumpymule.co.uk/[/url]). Cheapest place to buy beans is in any of the Wooldale Coops (New Mill and Wooldale being best). Some of the other local outlets are a quid more expensive!!! Bean choice isn't excellent compared to online but it's good to know there's decent locally roasted beans for grabs in the local Coops if you run out. Unfortunately they don't sell from the Roastery door 🙁
+1 for Hasbean
I've recently started using [url= http://www.theethiopiancoffeecompany.co.uk/ ]The Ethiopian Coffee Company[/url], only had a few bags but so far impressed. More impressed with the missus buying me a Delonghi bean to cup machine for Christmas 😀
Mmmm coffee time I think
This. 🙂
Grumpy Mule +1. I get mine from Taylors in Honley (Meltham Rd).
My choice and you can walk in from Bond Street Startion. I prefeer it more to Monmouth
Greta teas too!
Hasbean, Coffeebeanshop.co.uk or Origincoffee.co.uk for me... all very good.
Excellent suggestions at, not been too impressed with grumpy mule, but will try grinding my own. Which brings me to my next point, what is the best grain size to use?
I have used [url= http://www.anothercoffee.com ]Another Coffee[/url].
And I use an espresso grind in my Aeropress. It is the same grind that I use in a Gaggia and it works fine.
