How long an answer you want?
I would start rambling but I defer to Monkey66 on coffee. I can suggest a few though if he doesn't pipe-up.
T."In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock!" -
looking for something easy to get hold off every day use and recommendations for something a bit special.Comment

Well how do you intend to make (brew) the coffee? I like different beans for espresso, stove top and filter coffee but I hardly use a cafetiere.
As a start try reading this....

I get freshly ground coffee from HasBean but they will send the beans- I just don't have a grinder. Typically the beans are roasted the day before delivery.Comment

Another recommendation for Hasbean here - fantastic little firm to deal with and top notch coffee.
I always used to use Hill & Valley coffee, truly sensational bourbon espresso beans from there........... until they slapped on a minimum order of 2kg's and silly postage................Comment

There is a great coffe roaster on I think Castle Street in Dundee, Like stepping back in time 100 years.
They roast the beans in the cellar so it's all fresh.
Well worth a look.
Also "the Bean Shop" in PerthComment

Looks like HasBean is popular
Can anyone recommend some coffee's worth a try?Comment

Depends on your brewing method, equipment and preferred drink (shot, cappu, latte etc.)Originally posted by giga View Post
For my espresso shots and base for cappuccino or americano I tend to prefer a Brazilian Bourbon espresso bean.
If I'm doing filter coffee then something lighter; or if I'm feeling extravagant then Jamaican Blue Mountain hits the spot every time!Comment
