I appreciate good coffee (hence perusing this thread) but £16 totally takes the piss. I thought £10-12 for Square Mile was stupid, but this really takes the biscuit.
I'm trying to save money at the moment and have downgraded from Hasbean (£6-8 / bag) to Supermarket 'finer' brands (£3 - 4 / bag) and if you get very lucky in your choice you can't tell tooooo much difference

You can get this stuff: http://ravecoffee.co.uk/collections/espresso-coffee/products/the-italian-job-blend for 9.50 a kilo + 2-3 quid shipping, making it cheaper / the same as the supermarket. The bag I got yesterday was roasted the day before.

I agree with this. I've been paying top money for Square Mile, HasBean etc, but I find a £3.50 bag from Waitrose to taste great, and when it comes to value for money, beats the others.
In an ideal world I'd drink £3.50 bags in the week, and £8+ bags on the weekend, but I'd need to get my hands on 100g bags for that, otherwise they'd go stale before I'm done with them.
So I went to Mission Coffee and bought one of their blends in a little bag, it tastes very unusual, mild with a fruity touch. Not bad, but £16 was too much. Today went to Wholefoods and found there Union Coffee, same size bag costs only £4, haven't tried it yet.
