The staff in Monmouth are great, but their espresso is hugely disappointing and their bean prices are ridiculous. Sorry had to get that off my chest.
Out of interest, what was disappointing about it?
I've said this here before, but out of a wide range of beans that I've bought from many roasters, Monmouth are possibly the best, and I'm happy to pay the price they charge for the quality and consistency.
On another note, I had an espresso in the new Rapha store in Soho. It was well made. Took one sip and knew what the beans were immediately. My friend confirmed this by asking them; Square Mile Red Brick. Quite acidic! Should have had it with milk.
