Monmouth coffee's Finca La Fany Apaneca Red Bourbon, extracted in my Aeropress and diluted down to an Americano strength.  It took a little tweaking to get the brew method right (20g ground almost as much as you would if you were making espresso, toppped up with half a press of water at 85 degrees and left to steep for about thirty seconds, if you were wondering)

It's rich and full and chocolaty, without a single hint of bitterness.  I could drink it until it comes out of my ears.

In fact, given how little sleep I had last night - I just might  :D

I have a bottle of Weston's Vintage cider and 2 bottles of Brakspear's bitter in the fridge. Normally I wouldn't chill bitter, but I realise after trying a bottle why it was £1 a bottle and I'm trying to disguise the taste.

The cider is yummy, but 8.2%!

Rekorderlig Swedish apple and blackcurrant cider. I really should have bought another bottle...

As is mine, although I shudder to think what manner of God would be worshipped at such a temple ;)

I think you have to call or email them - they will do mail order but I hear they charge a lot for delivery (ie only worthwhile if you're buying bulk). Monmouth is great but I mainly go there because it's near work. There are some very good specialist online coffee retailers - eg hasbean.

If you can find some of this Tinganga Estate anywhere else, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

I was going to say "What, closed at weekends?" but that's Cannon Street I'm thinking of (London Underground joke).

A very nice Union Hand Roasted Revelation coffee. I am wishing I had a proper coffee machine.

Lovely stuff.  Bought the bottle as a treat (as well as a bottle of something else for Sunday's ride).  Only enjoying one this evening as I need to be out the door at 06:30 tomorrow.  Ugh.
