They didn't have any Colombian or Guatemalan coffee in the shop so I took a punt on Kenyan.
It's crap, but worst of all I fell for the old buy two and get about fifty pee off each one. :-(
What a mug!

It's a great, great shop, a.Quote:

I wasn't buying a cup of coffee, Alberto. I bought two bags for use in my espresso engine, and after the velvet tones of my central American favourites it tastes a little bit like poo. Would you like a bag of Kenyan coffee?Quote:

:-( Why must people be so horrid about my dear friend Ian on here? I know he is very fond of a superlative or two, but all this bitching behind peoples' backs is surely better suited to a gaggle of teenage girls rather than a gruff ensemble of middle aged men.Quote:
