Thread has sadly stopped since we lost Grant. [emoji853]
Slightly random anniversary present from my wife was a selection of coffee beans - these are the first to try - never even knew Japanese coffee was a thing!

Not sure, supposed to be 5/5 strength, but certainly doesn’t taste it, and no bitterness. Will need a couple more cups to decide if I like it or not.
Good to see this thread continuing.
Afraid I won't be able to contribute much, as I'm quite content with Illy ground coffee made in a Mokka pot.
Yes, good to see the thread continue, Marco and Grant were always big users in the past, as I use a Nespresso machine, as it suits me , I have never really posted.
I boycott all Nestlé products - an awful unethical company.
Time to try another of my anniversary coffees - this time from India, Monsooned Malabar.

Definitely earthy, as it says on the label, like the Japanese one, it will take a few cups to decide if it is to my taste (I will definitely get the Japanese one again, though.)
I have just finished trying/comparing a couple of selection boxes (8 different blends) from Drury coffee:

Excellent range, fast service - my favourite from the selection is their “ espresso riserva”.
My notes : “coffee/dark chocolate, smooth, sweet, good depth of flavour, good (quite dark) crema -slight bitterness at end of mouthful, but not “off putting”.
I think it will become my standard/“go to” blend.
I wont be submitting a photo of my attempts - never could match Grant in that respect; always in awe of his barista skills.
I miss Grants coffee pics, they always cheered me up and reminded me that good coffee is one of life's great pleasures.
