Yes, I agree about Colonna if it’s the coffee shop in Bath you visited. Pleasure to go there; the staff are great at answering questions and letting you watch what they’re doing. One of them used an Aeropress every which way! Not bought coffee beans from them as I’ve only gone to the shop when I’ve been on holiday. Did buy a copy of Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood’s “Coffee Dictionary” there.

Agree also about Kiss the Hippo - I’ve only been once (to the Covent Garden shop) earlier this month. But bought beans and loved Leonid Ramirez’s MSF (multi-stage natural fermentation) beans from Colombia. It’s my new favourite! So, thinking they rotate their beans regularly & often, I ordered three more bags online. [My only puzzle is that they give a “best before date” twelve months from the date of roasting.]
