    My 'go to' coffee is still Tesco Finest whole bean Columbian Supremo. I occasionally try coffee from Has Bean, which is normally very good and promptly delivered.

    It was Alex from here many moons ago who put me onto Columbian Supremo. I regularly try other roasts, but this really suits my tastes and it's only £2.99 for 227g, so for me it's hard to beat. Has to be whole bean though.

    I am getting used to the steam power now.
    I have just found my problem.
    I was putting the tip too far in, too early. Just below the surface and the milk (even though it is semi-skimmed) froths nicely.

    I just need to stop pouring the last bit of froth in now and lattes are officially nailed!

    You should be able to find it anywhere Grant, apart from Tesco Express which often don't stock it. But every normal store should have it?

    Certainly I've never struggled to find it, unless you've been in a store straight after me as I sometimes clear the display

    They used to have 2 x bags for £5.00 offers, then I did clear the shelves, but not seen that in awhile. It scored very well in a Which report a few years ago.
