I get my coffee from Mancoco - Bags in 250g, 500g or 1kg and they're resealable. We usually opt for either their Espresso or Manchester blends in 1kg bags, and then get a couple of 250g bags of something else. They have new stuff every time so it's an opportunity to try new things from some very small producers, but still have a mainstay.
The blends they always have are typically £28/kg, with the speciality stuff upwards from there

Lots of conversation about beans, but I need some links!
My daily, reasonably priced go-to is usually Taylors, but also found some of M&S stuff to be good as well.
I get all my coffee from White Rose in Yorkshire, they have an amazing selection of single origin coffees from around the world that are amazing value compared to most of the cool roasters in London. I buy 2kg of beans every month or so. It’s a small no-nonsense business and I’ve probably ordered over 100kg of coffee from them!

Fave at the moment is this natural process from Colombia which I think is stunning value at £20 a kilo, it would be £30-40 from anyone around here.

Ordered a kilo of that. I'm excited to try a new coffee!
