In principle I’d prefer to buy local. but I can’t find one I like.
Where are you? Have you searched by location on the link I put up in the post above yours?

Yes, thanks, I’m in Northumberland and the local roasters are a bit restricted and/or expensive, so I’ll stick with Pact for now. I also sometimes buy from Rave.
Fair enough 🙂 I mix it up with my Pact subscription and local roasters. I'm lucky in that those near me are often around the same price as Pact or even a little cheaper.

These were recommended to me recently but I haven't tried them yet (although they are shut until 10th April it would seem 🙄). I have been buying Hasbean but they sneakily changed the pack size from 250g to 220g which now makes them too expensive so I won't be buying there again.
Hormozi have a good range, well priced, choice of roasts, free postage and prompt. I only buy origin coffee and vary each order but never been disappointed.
Taylors of Harrogate (Italian blend?) on the left, Horsham "Bwishaza" on the right (finally started a subscription and arrived yesterday). Very different tastes.
I’ve never done a subscription because I quite like the monthly ritual of choosing a load of different or new coffees.
I tend to split between local roasters and batches from Hasbean and now Yallah and Horsham coffee roasters. The main thing is places that roast to order, or in regular small batches, so it’s fresh. I’ll get about a month’s worth each time - 4-5 250g bags.
I agree about Hasbean’s shrinkage. They sent an email about it, so they were up front, but I’d rather they’d put up the prices to make it more transparent. I haven’t bought from them since either.
