If your UK based id suggest Rave, a bit mainstream but fair price, good range, fast delivery. I have tried a good 15 around the UK. I also use Iron & Fire, and Recent beans semi regular.
Maybe a small taster pack, or if you are grabbing a big bag, each coffee have their ‘contributing flavors’ for example cherry or walnut etc. I personally like the south American blends, I drink mine as latte or cappuccino and a med strength.
Its a good idea to check if they have a grinder first.
They have a little handle on and it pours from both sides. For me I know my shot is right by the measure. If there’s too much/too little my machine or my beans are out of whack.
There are lots of cheap glasses but i have had these for about 7-8 years and they are solid, the glass is heavy and the handle helps with no burnt fingers, and just the right size for 2 shots. Bought mine from a coffee roasters and has been so worth it.
Where I am, there are a couple of coffee places that partner with smaller growers and have really good product. It’s a but pricey for me for a daily coffee. But it is what I would get for a gift. For my daily, I’ll see what the local food coop has that’s fair trade.
Coffee comes in various roasts - basically the level of toasted the beans are. Maybe ask your friend for advice on choosing a good roast level of coffee for you. Then use that information to choose the best roast for your friend.
I tried to skimp and bought a big bag of coffee at “premium warehouse store”. The flavor was unpleasant and weak. I had to use idk. 50% more coffee to get something with flavor. Back the nice beans first me.
Quality coffee beans
I want to get a present for someone who loves coffee esp from coffee beans. Any tips?

Depends on whether they drink espresso or drip, but for espresso I very much like Intelligentsia’s Black Cat Classic beans

Before I moved here this is what I would have gone with. But now it’s definitely tea for me.
Don’t get me wrong. I adore my SOE “Yunnan Red Wine Sun-Dried” beans. But I can live without if I have to. I can’t do the same with tea anymore.
