Extract in Bristol, Square Mile London, Podda and Wren Lake District, Routon coffee North Yorkshire. Can't remember where Hasbean are based but they're solid.
I've got coffee from all of them at one point or another and enjoyed them all.
Seems roasters are all over the place these days :)
Edit: have a subscription with Podda and Wren ATM, new coffee; roasters choice delivered fortnightly.
Cheers, will have a look at those! My first port of call was Google but it's a bloody minefield these days.
No worries, enjoy your coffee experimentation
Current drinking a cup from Kickback Coffee in the Peak District, great coffee and great people, usually go and pick it up in person.
Cheers, they look good and not too expensive
Most welcome, and really enjoying this thread for recommendations myself. Others I’ve been to in person in the last 12 months now I’ve had to think about it:
Places I personally avoid from experience:
Personally I really enjoy the whole going to the roastery and seeing what they have, trying a few things out etc, so I’m heavily biased towards what’s available to me locally. I’ve got The Nocturn to try when I next run out of Kickback, but as I’ve never tried any I can’t pass any judgement.
I like rave
I did come across them in my initial googling and they seem to be reasonably priced 👍
Off the top of my head... Rave, Origin, Django, Pact, Square Mile, Caravan, Foundry, James Gourmet, Horsham...
Thanks for those suggestions!
There’s some great suggestions here already but to add a couple more: Union coffee & Edgcumbes. Had great beans from both!
Cheers! Will take a look.
Currently drinking Origin because I wanted to use a B Corp roastery, but shout out to Jericho Coffee in Oxford who are all very friendly with a good line of beans.
