Coffee Appreciation

Fair do's so based on that I drink espressos only and prefer malabar and yergacheffe and want to try something fairly similar or the same.

hasbean sells a yirgacheffe:

I'm looking at the Bolivia Cooperative San Ignacio and the Brazil Fazenda Sol Nascente Natural as cheap espresso options that sound appealing. Apologies for not going back through the whole thread, but are there hasbean.co.uk customers on here who've tried those / have any other recommendations in the up-to-£5-per-250g bracket?

Depends what you like flavourwise. I tend to go more for Chocolatey / Dark fruity types over the floral jasminey ones (a bit soapy for me sometimes - I rinse the aeropress in water only before anyone comments!) and have found the Central / South American ones to hit the mark more often than not.

I'm no expert though, and shop purely on the tasting notes on the right hand side of the coffee pages.

The La Illusion I've ordered is described as Lemonade / Sherbert which doesn't fit the above, so I'm looking forward to brewing a cup of that later in the week.
