Haven’t been in McDonald’s for nearly twenty years .
To me, it would be like falling off the wagon, but I remember their coffee as being quite good
Currently enjoying this as espresso (and flat whites). Just enough fruit tartness balanced by the dark chocolate and sweet finish.
A coffee roaster that favours lighter roasts, which seem to suit my tastes.
A good alternative to my usual Blending Room roaster favourites.

A recommendation I can get behind! If I didn’t already have over 1.5kg of coffee in the kitchen I would be ordering some now. The descriptions of brewing recommendations look fantastic. Must remember to buy some beans from them soon

For Xmas, the daughters bought me a subscription to Square Mile Coffee Co - beans.
Had three so far, one was “exceptional”, one was “excellent”, and one was merely “very, very nice”.
So far, so good!
Hmm, just thinking about it makes me want to fire up the Aeropress!

I thoroughly agree with all your points, not just this one. And there are other things as well like the water temp when brewing and you mentioned the pressure which is important. There’s really no comparison.
That’s James Hoffman’s company isn’t it? I sometimes buy from them - nice coffee in lovely packaging. Not surprising really knowing the proprietor 
Rave Coffee Espresso Blend No 4. I quite like Rave - fresh roasts, delivered quickly. Their Strong AF being a favourite…
A quickie before I run out to pick up some records - I’ll run faster!

Also used Rave, a decent roaster and good service.

Rave describe their darkest roast yet as
“Strong And Fun”…
I don’t buy that for one second.
But the coffee is good.

I agree. Lavazza Gold produces a lovely coffee with my La Pavoni espresso machine. (It’s handily sold in vacuum packs in my local corner shop, but I buy in packs of six from Amazon when I see that stocks are running low in the local.)

Best coffee I have found for my La Pavoni is Illy
