    Appologies for the pun. Have been buying beans from hasbean coffee. I am using gaggia classic and iberital mc2. I have found with all 4 types of beans I have bought from there the roast has been quite light. By that I mean I am having to grind the beans quite coarse to get the correct flow...
  3. Coffee Beans
    I'm relatively new to coffee on the sort of serious level these forums aspire to, but I am learning... Last week I bought some Square Mile Autumn Espresso beans (from a coffee stall in Columbia Road market). My first thoughts were, this is not quite how I imagine espresso to be... then...

    If you're in Soho, Fernandez & Wells in Beak Street and St.Anne's Court make excellent espresso, their own blend (beans sourced, I believe, from HasBean) brewed in a Synesso Cyncra.
  5. Coffee Beans
    For anyone who's seen my other thread on what grinder to get, you will know come Dec 25th I will be the proud owner of a shiny new grinder of some shape or description (Still undecided, lol!) Anyway, I've discovered my wife has already purchased me some beans to go with it. I saw a tin of Illy...
  6. Coffee Beans
    Hey everyone My flatmate was going near a drive through Starbucks (only 1 in Europe i think) so I hitched a lift as I wanted to try their Christmas blend as it was only £1 so I thought I would give it a go. The coffee had a lovely spice to it which was quite enjoyable but sadly there was a...

  9. 👋 Introductions 👋
    Hi there, Newly registered here although it's fair to say I have been lurking and absorbing all the information from this very interesting forum! My main reason for starting to read the forum contents was when my bean to cup machine died on me (although it's ok....don't worry, it has been...
  10. Retailer Reviews 🙈🙉🙊
    Needs no introduction to regulars on this site. Steve's approach sets a benchmark for customer service. Rapid response to E Mails (does he never sleep?) consistent quality of products and delivery as promised. Typical of Steve's approach was when my Behmor roaster broke down, he shipped out a...
  11. 👋 Introductions 👋
    I am new to the forum but not to good coffee! So hello everybody and thanks for allowing me to join! I am a very keen home roaster and have recently bought a Behmor 1600 from Steve at HasBean. I started roasting in the oven. I then progressed to a FreshRoast which was fine until it fell to...

    Hey guys, got my silvia delivered from hasbean yesterday. Here she is with my Iberital MC2; Much better than my exploding Cubika!!
  13. Coffee Lounge ☮❤
    After the death of my refurb Cubika, I've decided to go ahead and get a new Silvia! Does anyone have any recommendations on where to buy from? HasBean have them at £425, but I'm not sure if they are an 'official' reseller. There is also Caffe Italia who are offering a bunch of stuff along...
  14. Coffee Beans
    Lovely bright sunny day up here in the North-East, and I'm starting off with an espresso from Hasbean's 2010 Premium Blend. I roasted these on Thursday, going a little bit darker than I normally would, and it seems to have suited the blend well. A subtle sweetness to the aftertaste. What's...
  15. Coffee Beans
    My Gaggia Carezza died, and I invested in a new Gaggia Classic. I had been using various 'vac packed' espresso blends .... but decided to once again visit a 'local' coffee importer as I used to buy a blend from them that I loved. I went to 'Ferrarris' and bought some of their Piacentina...
  16. 🔎 Find a Coffeeshop 🔍
    I have been to York for the last few days and just happened across this coffee shop in Kings Square. The coffee was first class ( it was Hasbeans and his own blend) and when I commented it was so much better than I could make Gordon the owner presumably offered for me to come back for some...

    After much thought and research we bought our first real coffee machine, a Gaggia Baby Twin, last December. I bought this through Caffe Italia UK and it was delivered OK and for 6 days it delivered coffee and we were just getting the hang of it; it then packed up, dead as a dodo. I contacted the...

    Hello coffee lovers. Another newbie here. I've been lurking on the forum for a while, reading with interest on all sorts of topics. I'm sorry if a lot of what I'm going to ask has been covered, but sometimes I find it's better to just collate all of one's queries into a new list. Hopefully...
