Having taken out a small mortgage to buy Coffee gear, I am reluctant (too broke) these days to buy coffee out. When I do though, I might look for the coffee "Brand" which is often plastered on umbrellas, partitions and cups.
Brands condemned by CS are Vittoria, GJ and Lavazza which you often see around the place. Emerging brands seem to be Tobys Estate and others.
Sometimes the brands you often see in the supermarket such as Grinders, served at a cafe seems tastes pretty good so I wonder whether the supply chain for Cafes is different than that at the supermarket, eg turnover is minimised to 3weeks post roasting.
Do any insiders know about the process and can recommend the brands to head for? I know it also depends on the Barista and the turnover, dosage used etc. In Sydney where i live there are so many cafes to head for that it might be possible to make a choice based on the coffee brand alone.
