I'd like to weigh in on the Monmouth discussion. I think it's easy to knock them, but they sell decent coffee at reasonable prices. Considering I'm drinking 250g-500g /week, spending £25-£30 /week on coffee is expensive, whereas spending £16-20 is much more reasonable.
Being able to buy more expensive coffee either shows you have more disposable income or you value coffee over other things, which is perfectly fine, but does that make you more of a coffee fan than others? If the latter, then perhaps you're more committed... but do we really need to be ranking ourselves over how much we know about, enjoy, or are committed to coffee?
I'd love to be buying expensive, incredible coffee all the time but I cannot afford to do so, so I buy pretty good coffee most of the time and treat myself to extra nice coffee sometimes.
