Too posh for Nescafe, but too lazy for proper coffee?

Then like me you probably have:

Tea in the morning for me - can't function without a mug of tea first thing in the am and then another on arrival at work. M&S Gold tea bags FTW.

After that, then free coffee at work from our bean to cup machine, or Nespresso at home for faff-free gadgetry.

[edit: I'm not a snob or owt. I like decent tea bags and nice coffee but I'll happily have a cup from a garage or a Nescafe as well. It's the caffeine, I swear they put something in it to make me crave more 😉 ]

We've got a bean-to-cup machine in the office which is pretty good - not sure what coffee we use though. Did a loop into the Pentlands on my commute this morning and it was nice to get the coffee machine fired up when I got into work.

Got an AeroPress that I keep in my desk at work - it makes better coffee than I can buy here. Coffee I use varies - Mexican Espresso this week but tend to buy from Wogans Coffee or 2Day in Bristol.

Got a big bag of Brazilian from Monmouth Coffee here. For work I buy whatever looks decent and not too expensive as my colleagues help themselves.

Adams & Russell continental blend, roasted & bagged 3 miles from the house!
The best coffee I've ever tasted, we use it in the cafe.

M&S finest something or other, we're lucky enough to have a really good coffee maching at work, makes the mornings all the more bareable 😉

Greggs!
Bacon sarnie meal deal with the best machine-made cappucino there is. all for 2 quid 30p!
And my 'local' is staffed by middle-aged ladies, they look after the 'regulars'! (Banter, smiles and friendly service - before the gutter-minded join in!)
Reminds me of this:

I recommend Hasbean too. Wide selection with detailed profiles of character/flavours. They roast on demand and deliver next day. I've been drinking a lot of their Bolivian coffees recently..really good!

Been drinking that Kenco half instant/half ground stuff for a quick cuppa on a morning, 'tis quite pleasant.

Use the Aldi ground stuff in the cafetierre which is good value at less than 2 quid a bag, it tastes good.

Cold brewed filter coffee chilled overnight (3 pint jug),tin of condensed milk stirred in. Small glass first thing in morning unless riding then its a pint. Super caffeine hit, super energy hit.

That sounds horrendous to me!

We usually drink whatever blend takes our fancy from the local specialist shop. If we can't be bothered to make proper coffee we have morrisons cheapest own brand instant, it's strangely good!

Dark roast coffee from the coffee machine at work.

That's it. Oh, and orange juice at home.

I use [url= http://www.coffeebeanshop.co.uk/ ]http://www.coffeebeanshop.co.uk/[/url] , simply because I was bought some of their stuff and it was very good. Any idea how they compare to Hasbean or the Happy Donkey place?

Aldi own brand Arabica is fine, but the Royal Blend from my local proper Italian cafe even better.

I have a subscription with http://www.jamesgourmetcoffee.com but also buy Has Bean from a local cafe. Both are very good. Buying freshly roasted is something you can't do at a supermarket. If you're not careful it will become an addiction 😀

i make a blend of various instant coffees, nothing special, nothing too expensive but surprisingly a lot of people ask what my coffee is/where to buy it.
