Coffee

☕ Coffee. Man, we need a lot of it at the moment. Work from home. Stay In. Do basically nothing. Repeat.

So you have a choice - drink lots of instant coffee or drink lots of beer. We love beer but let's drink responsibly people, you don't want to end up with a lockdown belly or a video meeting you will forever regret. As for instant coffee, yuck on a duck!

No, you need great, freshly roasted coffee, delivered to your door. Coffee that pays farmers fairer than Fairtrade base prices...

If you like your Java fresh from the bean, rather than the tin, you’ll need a grinder to get the best from these beans. Let’s be honest, grinding coffee for a cuppa can seem like a right hassle but the Duronic Electric Coffee Grinder takes you from bean to ready-to-brew effortlessly in 30 seconds.

Drop in your preferred coffee bean, simply push and hold the lid and BOOM! – beans ground and ready to add to your filter.

It’s a versatile little ninja – nuts, seeds, herbs, biscuits, even ginger can...

If you’re into your real coffee, then this cheeky little addition to any coffee set-up is a beauty. The 2 in 1 Wooden Coffee Scoop and Bag Clip is made from sustainability sourced European beech and will help you measure out your coffee and keep it fresh.

We think this is a cracking gift if your secret Santa is a coffee connoisseur and someone who enjoys their real coffee – or for anyone else that loves going through the process of making the perfect cuppa…you know him, that guy in...

Are you coffee snobs like us? Where the mention of instant coffee brings gasps of horror and looks that say 'really?'.

Well fear not, because dear coffee aficionados, the Wacaco Nanospresso may sound like a baddie in a Marvel movie, but it isn't. It's a great way to get a filter or even a capsule coffee, any time, any place. All it requires is a bit of pumping. Nothing too strenuous though.

☕️ It can hold up to 80ml of hot water, is small and light.

☕️ As well as filter coffee...

This is a really good, low cost Tassimo coffee machine - we like the cream one, but you can also get it in black and red.


It's very compact so doesn't take up too much space (only 17 cm wide). The Vivy 2 has an innovative flow heater so it produces coffee fast, and by using less energy. A flexible cup stand that is height adjustable means it is suitable for any cup size and can be removed completely. There are loads of pod choices available, and...

If you prefer your coffee beans as a blend, we don't think it gets much better than Spiller & Tait.

Signature Blend is their most popular coffee, having taste tested with thousands of avid coffee drinkers. Founders Simon and David spent many years running businesses which roast, wholesale and serve coffee and are one of many coffee innovators who have shaped a renaissance in the High Street coffee experience in the UK. They created this premium blend by sourcing the finest coffee beans and do the business from their micro-roaster...

Are you are a bean man or a ground coffee man? If the former, consider giving Good Life coffee beans a go.


This Coast Rican medium roast from Finca La Pira is a delicious single origin coffee with undertones of peach and mango. We like it not just for the taste but because Good Life roast in small batches, to order and by hand. This is speciality grade, fair trade arabica coffee and can be used with a range of coffee making devices including Espresso, French Press,...

How cool is this? If you like coffee on the go, and we mean, real, speciality coffee on the go, give this a try.

Each Grower's Cup bag is a portion of ground, organic (certified) coffee, from 5 farms in Ethiopia, Honduras, Guatemala, Brazil and Columbia. Simply open the bag, add hot water, re-seal and leave to brew for a few mins. Each pack has a little spout, so once ready you just pour it into an appropriate vestibule. We love the word vestibule. Ok sorry - cup or mug....

OK, if you want to up your game when it comes to your home or office coffee needs, then this is the real deal.

The Eletta from De’Longhi is a BIG step-up from any capsule-fed coffee machine you might have used before. This more traditional coffee maker starts from scratch; grinding your choice of beans (13 levels to choose from no less), adding milk and delivering a perfectly formed coffee of your choice and style.

What’s also great is you’re able to personalise your coffee when it comes to the blend...

So you are desperate for your morning coffee. You make or buy your favourite roast and a client calls. Do you pretend to not be at your desk? Of course you don't, you are the consummate professional. Plus your boss is looking at you. Client bleats on for 20 minutes, with no regard for your increasingly cooling coffee and by the time you hang up said coffee is colder than a polar bears wotsits. But fear not!

The Yurnero coffee mug warmer is convenient and portable. Keeping your favourite mug...

Do you need coffee pretty much intravenously? Mug after mug after mug aft...then you may prefer a quality filter coffee machine, rather than the other options available.

The Technivorm Moccamaster KBG 741 (nothing to do with Russian Secret Police we can confirm) filter machine has some of the most impressive specifications of any home brewer, with drip coffee makers being one of the easiest forms of coffee-making. The features on this machine include longevity, great design, ease of use, robust build quality and, with a great range of colours...

The AeroPress is a revolutionary way to make the perfect coffee every time. It’s so simple to use, that once you own one you won’t go back to instant coffee (eugh!) or using expensive coffee brewers (see ya George.)  The AeroPress uses gentle air pressure which creates a smooth, rich flavour with lower acidity and without bitterness.

As long as you have access to hot water – you can have a fabulous ‘proper’ coffee and time, any place, anywhere. Happy Days coffee lovers!

Lightweight, robust and travels well.  It takes seconds...

First things first, this coffee machine is not big (officially the term is 'compact'.) In fact it's ideal if you want a decent sized single brew (or two smaller ones) - so if you want multiple cups you will have to do them individually. We don't think that is a problem but some may find that a bit of a chore. That said, this is a good piece of kit - and we like that you can use both beans (coffee not baked) and pre-ground.
