So i've been really getting into playing around with coffee recently, starting from just a normal filter coffee to owning a cheapo espresso machine. Recently bought myself a nifty burr coffee grinder, been trying some beans from starbucks but I'm finding it difficult to get any other beans. Not really sure where to buy any. Couldn't find any in tescos and found 1 kind in the co op.
Just wondering where i could buy some more beans? Are there any good places to buy online in engalnd? or any good stores about the place?
just curious, how popular is coffee in the UK compared to tea? i've been wondering this for awhile, as coffee is by far the number one go-to caffeinated drink here in the states, and i know tea is big over there.
Tea is colossal in Ireland with coffee being basically an after thought
For truth we drink more tea per person than the UK now...its just a stereotype for the Brits to be mad into it. as for good coffee, was wondering about that myself.
I know this is an older thread, but I have just the place for you to source coffee, which in turn has been sourced with pure passion and love.
Square Mile is a roaster in the UK, and the people who work there and many things they have accomplished in the industry is absolutely astounding. Give them a look?
www.hasbean.co.uk is another great roaster in the UK, he gets coffees from all over the world and also does alot of good coffee equipment like baratza grinders, chemex, and the coava stuff like the disk and cone.
@100_Hertz: Well in london most, but not all, people out would order coffee but at home there seems to be more of a balance with a lot of people drinking lots of both. This might just be in my little world but it seems stuff like green tea has become quite popular recently over the more traditional cuppa. I'm sure it varies a lot across the country and even across longon but this is just what I have seen in shops and at different people's houses.

I know this is an old thread, but I have to know: is Irish Coffee at all common in Ireland?
@Example1013: It's certainly not something we drink to keep us going through the working day, nor would a lot of people drink an alcoholic coffee as often as they would a regular coffee in Ireland. I'd guess that an Irish coffee is about as common in pubs or hotels in Ireland as it is in the US, Canada, the UK etc. I'd also see it as something you'd make at home only on certain occasions.
Also, tea may indeed be more popular than coffee in Ireland, though in my own experience, myself and the majority of my work colleagues would always opt for some sort of coffee beverage from the nearby café (latte, americano etc.), with only one or two people opting for a cup of tea. More coffee is consumed than tea in my household too.
@Binman88:@JohnnySasaki: I wasn't figuring it'd be something drunk regularly or for the caffeine or anything. I was just wondering more like if it's a somewhat common drink in Ireland, seeing as it's called Irish Coffee (french fries are called French, but they're not). My relatives traditionally drink Irish Coffee on Christmas Day (when we get together for breakfast, presents, and dinner), so I just thought it'd be interesting to ask an Irish person how common it is. Thanks!
