My point about JGC was not at all to do with quality. I think their quality is very good; I'm just struggling to find coffees from them that match the style of coffee I enjoy. I used to enjoy reasonably dark roasts, so I went to Monmouth Coffee a fair bit. In more recent years I've started to enjoy more fruity coffees with a bit of acid. I'll give JGC another try and pick out some things from their Filter Roast range.

I know, that's why my response wasn't to you 😂
I've had plenty of fruity bangers from JGC but it's been almost a year since I've bought anything from them so can't comment on current stock. One thing for sure though, is there's nowhere comparable to them from a value point.

Personally I think JGC are every bit as good as the most expensive hipster places out there. I think their prices are better due to a combination of them having much lower overheads than new places and that they've been going so much longer rather than a difference in quality.
My local place is great but I just recently spent 22 euros on a 250g bag of a limited run they were doing and it was massively underwhelming, a couple of years back I got a kilo of an Indian coffee for 20 quid at JGC and it was one of the nicest coffees I've ever had.
I guess my main point is that in modern hipster coffee land I don't find price to be the best indicator of quality.
