my experience with buying 'better value' beans from places like coffee plant is that they are simply nowhere near as good as something like Red Brick, or some of the Climpson's blends. Seeing as I would prefer to drink less, better coffee; rather than more, less good coffee —*buying beans which are more expensive is a bit of a no brainer for me.
In any case I try to buy in larger amounts than 250g as by the time you have dialed in the grid correctly you've wasted a fair bit of coffee. Especially since my mc2 is stepless, which means I can't even record what settings I've used for the next time I buy that blend.
