No idea on how good the price is, but plenty of people around here rave
about http://www.hasbean.co.uk/ and get the stuff delivered.

Looks pricy to me, but then I like nescafe instant

We buy ours from Costco. A small selection, but all are good. They do:
Kirkland (own brand) in 1.36kg bags at about £9.50. Currently
Sumatran, last month was Guatemalan.
San Francisco Bay - 1kg bags for about £8.99. A couple of versions
Starbucks in 900g bags for about £8 - £9. Espresso blend and house
blend.

Seconded - Costco's Columbian is particularly good.

We really got hooked on good coffee while on holiday in Costa Rica where
they take it very seriously - it's illegal to grow robusta there for
example.

Partner was given a subscription for this last year - gets a bag a week
(Saturday morning without fail). And had some very interesting and
different coffees. At the end of the gift period she paid for an extended
period. And you can watch each week's video about where it came from.

Failing that, Sainsbury currently have Lavazza black on the best price
I've seen for a while. And that is our base coffee that we always revert
to.

Proper tea is theft (allegedly) :-)

Wherever it comes from, my favourite is English Breakfast.

Belgium - it's *way* cheaper there in ordinary supermarkets.

Still much, much more expensive than Belgium, recently in a
supermarket there I saw coffee beans from around 3.50 Euros per kilo
and good[ish] coffee was only around 5 Euros.

I'm about to give these people a try. Some of the people in the office
swear by them:

http://www.adamsandrussell.co.uk/

but my day-to-day coffee is ground Lyons or ground Douwe Egberts,
strength 4, from a store chain called Home Bargains. 99p per bag.

http://www.homebargains.co.uk/default.aspx

I get it from the store, they don't seem to do it on the website.

Can you buy from Adams Russel directly at their unit in the Argyle
Ind Est?
I live on the Wirral and have also been looking for a supplier of
coffee beans and would like to choose and pick up an order from
them directly if possible.

Yes, but they're not geared up for over-the-counter sales. They like
you to give them a ring first.
