In collaboration with Pact Coffee.
I am absolutely thrilled to be able to introduce you to Pact Coffee (if you haven’t already heard of them!) and to let you know that I’ve teamed up with them to help spread the word about their awesome coffee!
Pact Coffee are a London-based company whose sole mission in life is to source the tastiest, most interesting coffee in the world, bring it back to their head office, roast it, and distribute it straight to your door in simple letterbox friendly packaging so there’s no waiting around for the postman.
They use Direct Trade to source their beans. By going straight to the origin and meeting with their dedicated farmers, they’re able to cut out the middle man and bring us the best speciality coffees in the world – plus, they guarantee to pay their farmers a minimum of 125% of the usual Fair Trade rate.
Each 250 gram bag of coffee costs £6.95, slightly more than you’d pay in the supermarket, but as I mentioned above, the people growing the beans actually get a decent wage for their work, which is really important.
Plus, it tastes fantastic! No more stale supermarket coffee beans!
Hand’s up, who else has gone to get their morning cuppa only to find out that you’ve run out of coffee? This isn’t a problem with a subscription service like this – freshly ground (or whole, if you prefer to grind your own) beans delivered straight to your door (your home or office!) just when you want it.
All of their coffee beans are roasted in house at the Pact Coffee HQ in Bermondsey, London, and shipped out to you within one week, ensuring they are as fresh as they can possibly be. Each bag tells the name of who grew it, its roast profile, the date it was roasted on and the date, and who by, it was packed. Directly sourced from farm to cup. What could be better than that?
If you use the exclusive voucher code EKITCHEN when placing your first order with Pact Coffee you will receive a rather snazzy free filter coffee gift – a V60 drip filter, 100 x paper filters and free delivery – a gift worth £10. Plus, I’ll get a small commission too and so you’ll be directly helping to support my family.
In the meantime, Pact Coffee have offered one of my readers the chance to win a year’s supply of coffee! Now, that’s not a year’s supply at the rate I drink it (lots, I live off the stuff!), but at the rate my husband drinks it (one filter cup on occasion, mostly as a lazy weekend morning treat) – so that works out to be one 250 gram bag per month.
There are also three runners up prizes of a three month coffee supply up for grabs!
You can find Pact Coffee on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. You can sign up for a free account here, or take advantage of the exclusive Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary voucher code here. You’ll get a free coffee kit and awesome coffee and I’ll get a £2 commission. Win – win!

Love my morning cup of coffee, I like it quite milky and it really wakes me up for the day.
We cycled two miles from Copenhagen City Centre to go to a specific coffee roaster for some coffee to bring back – it was amazing – we wish we had bought more!!
Personally, I’m not a coffee fan, but my husband is. He loves ground coffee (not instant) before he goes to work. He works nights so needs the extra boost!
I always treat myself to a good coffee a day, even though I suffer caffeine withdrawal headaches!
i love the smell of fresh ground coffee especially first thing in the morning
once as a medical student revising for exams, I drank 10 cups of coffee in 10 hours to revise during the night – as a result i didn’t sleep for 36 hours after!!!! hey, we’re only young once!
Ready Ground for me – I just want my coffee as quickly as possible
I don’t really have one except for that i started drinking coffee in my 20s, when I started working at the NHS – Morning costa 🙂
My first ecperience of coffee was when I was little and my parents had a perculator. The smell was amazing every morning and I knew I would be a coffee drinker.
A ridiculously hot cup…in the morning… and, at the moment it must be decaf as I’m expecting. Thankfully my coffee loving husband is a good support and is joining me in decaf for the time being!

We do B&B but the instant sachets we provide are so tasty that we tend to use them ourselves.

has to be ground as its quick to wake me up
Freshly, perfectly made turkish coffee, with some pieces off turkish delight next to it
I never used to like coffee until I went to Uni. All my friends would go to the coffee shop and buy fancy coffees and I’d look like a big dull dud with a tea or a hot chocolate. So I started drinking mocha, and now I only drink black unsweetened coffee. The coffee evolution is a strange one!
I used to buy Ethiopian coffee from Swiss Cottage, they ground the beans making the area smell gorgeous. One day I was in Victoria station and I saw all the beans there and thought I’d have a cup. So I told him the beans I wanted my coffee made from. Apparently you don’t do that you have an espresso or whatever. My idea is better.
has to be ground as its quick to wake me up
I always said I didn’t like Coffee til my early 20s when I started work in a Cafe in New Zealand. The guy who Came to train us on the machine made me one with chocolate and I said it was ok with sugar. Then he predicted that I would go on to like Coffee and he was right. now i have it black and no sugar.
Sweet and black as night.
Apparently my husband knew I was in love with him back when we were friends and he bought me a coffee from a coffee shop in Woolacombe and I went red when he bought me one lol.

My boys would love me to win this prize they love their coffee
Every morning it’s needed… Black, no sugar, no milk
I love coffee sweetened with a little milk or black. The aroma of coffee is one of my favourite smells
I only drink coffee when hung over however my family love it so if I win it would be a nice treat for them 🙂
It has to be whole bean. There is nothing better than smelling freshly ground coffee whizzing round in the grinder. For me it has to be Italian, smooth but strong and a mug full not an espresso.
My favourite coffee for Autumn is a Toffee Latte 🙂
There’s nothing better than fresh coffee at 7:30am after a good night’s sleep
Coffee morning noon and night preferably lattee but only if it’s made right and with an extra shot so I can taste the coffee

On Tuesday I made my very first coffee & walnut cake (MB’s traybake recipe), it’s so nice that I’ve nearly polished it all off (just me)!
Ground coffee from around the world that we’ve bought on our travels, drunk n a Sunday morning whilst reading the newspaper…perfection!
I have fresh beans from my local coffee roasters in Bristol. I grind the beans as I go so it’s fresh as can be. I hope people stop buying the machines that take pods. Just think of all that plastic. Sooo bad for the environment. Plus, the machine is too easy to change, making the current machines redundant before their time.
Coffee is a lifesaver with a poorly sleeping 4 month old in the house¬
Until I have had my morning coffee in any shape or form my day is yet to begin! Nothing comes close to the feeling or smell of coffee and the energy it brings x
I like a strong coffee in the morning, ground from beans, fresh as possible.
I wake up in the morning for a coffee from the machine I have got (coffee pods) to help get my day going xx
My day just hasn’t begun until i’ve had my morning coffee, it really does set you up for the day!

I always get a coffee on my way into work on a Friday to drink at my desk. Bliss
to be honest I’m not a coffee drinker (I get my caffeine fix from Pepsi Max!) however my Dad is coffee lover and I would love to win this prize for him in time for Xmas 🙂
We got so fed up with burnt tasting coffee whenever we ground our own, I spent a bit extra and bought the OH a burr coffee grinder. It’s been so nice since, we won’t go back to blitzing the beans anymore. Well worth it.
I bake with coffee and love coffee ice cream more than actually drinking it but favourite of all is the aroma.
Every day we make two cups of bean to cup cappuccino coffee in our coffee machine.
visited the macdonalds in st junien, france and asked for a white coffee, my french is obviously not very good as i was given chicken nuggets!!
I didn’t start drinking coffee until a couple of years ago – now I can’t stop!
My favourite coffee memory is drinking gorgeous, fresh Jamaican Blue mountain coffee whilst enjoying breakfast on the beach on my honeymoon in Jamaica a few years ago – the best coffee in the world and absolute heaven to drink – it really made my honeymoon extra special =)
I love my coffee sweet (I am good girl and use sweetener), with lots of milk as first and then as second thing in the morning.
I love coffee and just before Christmas one year I was in tesco and spotted a nescafe dulcet GUSTO machine I thought I might treat myself with, but there was no price on them. I asked a staff member and they price checked it at £20, it scanned through at the checkout at £20 which I was thrilled at. When I got home with it I checked online and they were averaging at about £70, was super impressed with my bargain and still use it daily.
I can’t imagine not having a cup of coffee first thing in the morning
I love trying new coffees everytime I go at a coffee shop. I rarely buy the same coffee twice, although I have my favourites, which are Cappuccino and Chai Tea Latte 🙂
My American raised partner doesn’t drink coffee I like mine reasonably strong and sweetened. Sometimes I take it with milk or cream, but also like black coffee
I really love a rich latte in the morning with a piece of yummy flapjack on the side!
I love coffee after dinner, already ground mainly because i am lazy and I like it milky!
On a recent trip to France I tried one of their “breakfast” coffees, it was a coffee and chicory blend and surprisingly I loved it. Of course you cant buy it over here! It always nice to try different coffees.
I absolutely love coffee! I think I prefer ground just because it’s nice and easy to make in the morning, splash a little hazlenut syrup in and I’m good! However we also have a dulce gusto coffee machine which is fab!
I need caffeine to get me started but hate instant! Since I’ve got a fancy new cafetière mug it means I can have a lovely cup on my desk in a morning, and am much nicer to be around after the hit!
Coffee in the morning is a time to be treasured for me. I get up, sort the kids for school, get us all ready and drive the dreaded school run. Once I’ve battled with the crowd of cars to get a parking spot, I run them into the the school gates and wave them off. The walk back to the car is with a bit more of a spring in my step as I know I will get a couple of minutes alone. I’ve brought my coffee from home, not touched it until now and its great to saviour those first few sips.:)

Strong dark coffee is my favourite! I also love iced coffee as it has such a nice flavour
All day coffee drinker!
I just love trying different coffees and ways of making it. Our latest purchase is a copper pot for making Turkish coffee.
Is simply cannot survive without coffee, 3:30am this morning with the little one demands it!
When my little boy was first born, all i lived on with coffee for those sleepless nights!
I get byyyy with a little help from my coffee cup… I need a good cup of beany goodness at exactly 10am and 3pm!
all i need is a good few cups of coffee to keep me going through the day
I’m not really a big coffee drinker, so I would give this prize to my Mum and Dad.
I like very milky coffee with a bar of chocolate
I never used to like hot drinks at all, let alone coffee. I then started teaching and now I crave a mid-morning coffee!!
Coffee is my weakness, to misquote Adam Ant, I don’t drink, don’t smoke, what do I do? Take two cups of coffee, and my day goes well, every day. Bliss.
Coming back home after a hot day at work I find that my son has made me a cold coffee for me without asking. Just what I needed. I find that I work faster after a coffee, which is useful to know.
My husband loves good coffee for breakfast. I’ve always drunk coffee very weak – he finds this difficult to understand!
I ALWAYS have to make my own coffee at work because my colleagues love making me hot gravy instead! It’s been a long running joke for about three years!
I don’t actually drink coffee but my partner is addicted to the stuff – he’s always complaining about tea getting pride of place in the kitchen!
When it around this time of year, I like to have a pumpkin spiced kind of coffee! Love it!!
I bought my boyfriend a coffee lovers gift that’s I put together myself for his birthday! He would love a supply of coffee to keep his slow brewer going! Fingers crossed!
Rosie x
Hummm Coffeee o.O 😀
Love my coffee machine. Wouldn’t last a day without it
We have an espresso machine. The steam attachment drips. Luckily I married an engineer and although he couldn’t mend it, he could disconnect it. It’s for espresso not milky coffee, so that is okay!
I used to have 2 nespresso machines, but reently gone back to a normal stove top coffee maker, they taste so much better
My hubby stands over me when I make his coffee as he has to have it just so or it’s not drinkable
Love a cup of good quality coffee, tend to drink more at the weekend as the coffee at work is not great!
I usually just have 2 big mugs of coffee a day and I thoroughly enjoy them. The best one is after lunch with a cheeky bit of chocolate on the side
Afternoon coffee is the highlight of our day, we make sure we have something sweet and tasty to go with it and share all our latest news.
For years, I thought I didn’t really like coffee very much, I just drank it because everybody else was doing. Then one day I ran out of milk and drank my coffee black – and I’ve never looked back! I love coffee – just not milky coffee!
i am completely addicted to coffee! having 6 children its something that gets me through those ‘rough’ days 🙂 must say i do tend to drink mine cold (not by choice!)
Two large strong coffees every morning before any one really talks to me 🙂
I am a coffee addict – I love a fab latte made with my pod machine.
I’m not a coffee lover myself but my husband loves to start the day with a ready ground.
Sadly I can’t function without a coffee in the morning I don’t like the flavoured ones tho has to be coffee coffee
I love coffee so much I have very small coffee cup so I don’t overdo it (except sometimes I have too many) 🙂
I have been working in restaurants my whole life so I was always making coffee, so a few years ago whilst managing a restaurant in The Netherlands I decided to complete my barista certification. That did it so now I am totally hooked on coffee, I have about 3 different coffee machines plus percolators, Italian espresso makers, everything you could imagine to make the perfect cup of coffee, the only problem is my new partner who I have been with for almost a year now, can’t stand coffee, even the smell turns his stomach. But I don’t mind all the more for me then!
My college boyfriend tried to convince me coffee was good by adding sugar and chocolate sauce to it. It didn’t help, but it did give me a ranging headache. Needless to say, I’m entering this contest to gift it to someone else.
My husband is a coffee ( and tea) snob he bought me an aeropress for Christmas last year because he wanted it. We do use it everyday though. We love ground coffee every morning
Would prefer whole bean, but when time is precvious and in a morning rush, usually use ready ground or instant coffee
When I get out of bed on a morning the very first thing I have to do is make fresh coffee. I am literally unable to function without it!
I work at a cafe and one of the best perks is getting free coffee at work!
I like the potency of Greek coffee which has a big kick.
I’ve used a coffeee machine and cafietere but I just can’t get it to taste the same as the coffee houses!
COFFEE I SO ADDICTED TO IT
I love the smell that hits you when you open a new packet of coffee, its like heaven to me.
The best thing about coffee is not just the flavour but the moment of time you get to take off whilst you sip to just stop and think.
I always loved this quote….“Coffee is a way of stealing time that should by rights belong to your older self.”
Turkish coffee is the strongest I’ve ever experienced! My cousin learned to make it for her Turkish husband. It had to be boiled up 3 times in a tiny coffee pan till it ended up like syrup. It was exceedingly strong and I had to add sugar to take the edge off it so I could drink it. Delicious with a chocolate though!
not so much a story But i can never eat food with coffee, for me its just a tasty drink to enjoy wholely on its own
I can’t start the day without my vanilla latte
I always need a strong espresso in the morning, otherwise I’m a zombie
I like to grind the beans for a strong early morning coffee, the space out the cups during the day
What wakes me up every morning is a nice coffee with milk and two sugars then that is me set for my exciting day ahead.
My indulgent treat is a Bailey’s coffee….problem is it’s so morish i want more than one cup!
Ready ground, morning cuppa for me. Nothing else will do.
coffee is the most important drink of the day!
I love a nice strong latte in the morning, with freshly ground beans.
I love all coffee but you really can’t beat an Affogato- vanilla icecream with hot espresso poured over the top- heaven!
We’ve been on a quest for the perfect coffee for years – with hubby buying every coffee contraption known to man! Now he’s ended up with a bean to cup machine that he’s very happy with, so he would be very pleased to win some good quality beans!
I love a really good quality black coffee first thing in the morning
The best way to wake up, is to a cafetiere of coffee
I’ve tried both whole bean and ready ground, the newest thing is those k-kups.
Good coffee gets me through the gruelling 12 hour shifts
I enjoy a coffee (or two, or three….) at the weekends
I need my coffee in the morning – always a latte made with my delonghi coffee machine.
Ground coffee is the only thing that gets me through my night shifts
I don’t actually drink coffee but my Husband loves it! He prefers using his coffee machine with strong coffee pods but if he has to have instant he likes a more expensive rich flavoured one.
I recently got some vanilla coffee its very yummy that and gold roast are my fav 🙂
Supporting ‘Fair Trade’ is far more important than any other trade deals we make and unlime what President Obama suggests we should always be ‘at the front of the queue’ for this 😉
My other half is the coffee fiend – strong and fresh in the morning – plunged usually – and milky at night! I just love the smell 🙂 Thanks x
Always a ground coffee lazy Sunday morning treat with breakfast and a newspaper.
We tend to grind our own, and brew it in our coffee machine – SO much better than instant!
Ground coffee is my treat either crossiants every weekend and then the occasional late in the week at work
Oh how I love Coffee! 3 years ago I’d only ever drink a high street mocha on occasion, and was more of your typical tea drinking brit. However, after being promoted into a really challenging management position, I am now a black americano extra shot kinda girl! Best coffee is home made on a lazy weekend morning with an Italian stovetop- heaven 🙂
Pact grind and send great coffee. Their blends are fantastic and are a different world from shop bought coffee!
grounded using a delonghi coffee machine, love starbucks grounded coffee but would love to try this to see if it compares!
start the day with an amoretto coffee, mskes the day seem better
Around mid-morning I have to have a strong black coffee to keep me going till lunchtime
An old friend proposed to his girlfriend by leaving a note under the lid of a jar of coffee (a brand famous at that time for its romantic TV ads) and leaving it on her doorstep.
I remember being in Paris over Christmas. After dinner we had coffee and it was Espresso. It was the first time I’d tried it but I don’t think I would again. Too strong for me.
want this for my daughter, leaving for uni next week, and she cant wait ( i can )
Absolutely love Pact coffee! Nothing else compares and I just finished my last bag this morning.
Unfortunately I don’t drink coffee but my husband loves it so I would like to win for him! I don’t know how many cups he has a day and he loves the cold coffees too so much so that we have bought some glass bottles and I make my own for him which are kept in the fridge to save money!
I love Cuban coffe and get odd looks when I bring 4 or 5kg back.
When that runs out then it is back to searching for other beans I can buy in the UK hoping to find the same flavour and aroma.
I used to drink instant (don’t judge me, I was young and inexperienced) until someone showed me the way. Now it’s first thing in the morning, black coffee
I need three cups of coffee every morning before I can even think about facing the day. Normally we use a caffeteire and ground coffee. Our ancient Gaggia espresso machine, sadly, had to be retire after being overworked for nearly twenty years. I remember having my first real Italian espresso I thought it was vile. However, I stuck with them and now I’m a true fan. One thing I now try to avoid is instant coffee, it’s just not the same.
I love ground coffee and I use a cafetière
I love trying new blends
It’s got to be whole bean for me. Black, no milk, one sugar.
I love whole bean.. noithing beats fresh coffee in the morning to start the day with a bang
STRONG, WITH JUST A DASH OF MILK – that’s my way
I was at my mum’s house a few years ago, and she isn’t so fussy about coffee as me so it’s always instant. Her mate was there too so Mum made us both a coffee, but I didn’t fancy her supermarket own brand instant and asked for tea instead. Her mate got her coffee and sat sipping it politely looking less than impressed, so when she left I had a nag about poor coffee and Mum was defending it saying her mate didn’t complain. So she had a mouthful of hers and pulled a face and started laughing…she’d taken the red jar of gravy granules out of the cupboard instead of the coffee in a similar jar…and made their brews with it, gravy milk and sugar. 🙂
Coffee is my one addiction, love and necessity. i love nothing more than having a cafetiere of coffee to greet the day. I confess that I am a coffee snob – there is nothing worse than bad, poor quality coffee.
i always start the day with a cup of coffee, i love fresh coffee if i have it, lie to finish the day when i get home from work also with a coffee, lush
Ground coffee (made with an aeropress) after lunch…flat white style 🙂
Right this very minute I have five different types of coffee in my cupboard, espresso, Americano, cappucino, latte and Nescafe instant coffee and I drink coffee all day, every day.
Even when we go camping I make sure we have real coffee. I take my Moka and use it on our camping stove. In the open air the smell is amazing and I can see other campers sniffing the air wondering where the coffee smell comes from.
my 1st ever coffee was on a flight to florida after extreme turbulence
I invested in a bean to cup coffee machine at Christmas and its my favourite and most used item. Coffee fuel’s my day as I have 2 young children, I start the day with 2 Americano’s then have a few latte’s or cappacinos. I’m sure I’m a caffeine addict
The best smell in the world is waking up to the smell of freshly brewed coffee I’m not in a good mood all day if I don’t wake up to that smell!
I’m a barista, and people think that working with coffee everyday will make me sick of it – nope! It’s still my dream job!
A few years back I was visiting France and a friendly barista showed me a great way to drink coffee. The coffee should be as strong as possible and black. Take alternate small sips of the coffee and larger sips of cold, still water. It makes each sip of coffee tastes like your first, and the water helps “lengthen” the drink, especially for small espresso sized drinks.
I need a very strong coffee to get ready for a busy day.
A caffeine addict like me needs a 8 cup French press every morning….
I always have instant coffee in the house to wake me up in the morning but I love a proper cup after dinner
Adore Good Coffee
I have become a complete coffee snob over the last few year since I bought my own coffee machine… I’m not proud of it but give me some Jamaican blue mountain or Guatemalan elephant any day over Starbucks!
I could be hooked up to a coffee drip and be happy! My favourite is making a really strong fresh brew, decanting in a flask and setting off for a long walk – best on a crisp autumn day – finding a sheltered spot to settle down in and enjoy. I love it!
Was drinking too much coffee, so decided to cut out instant and just drink 5 cups of filter coffee a day.
Black coffee, strong and fresh first thing in the morning from the cafetière ( and no talking to me before I’ve had it)
I love coffee – to the point the hubby has bought me a ground fresh coffee maker that has an auto timer on so my brew is ready in the morning.
I meet my dad every saturday morning to go for coffee, never too old to go shopping and have a chat with dad !
when my fiance brings me a coffee in the morning (when I am especially grouchy) it is one of his ways of saying I love you!
Coffee is my saviour…it is the only thing that keeps me going at work
coffee or tea – the eternal choice – I love both but only if they are strong and hot – how will my host/the cafe perform. Did I make the wrong choice ? at least I like coffee plain so I don’t have toworry about syrups and other multiple choices
You can’t beat a great cup of coffee especially first thing in the morning,such a great pick me up
I gave up fags years ago and seemingly my first morning coffee too – had tea ever since for first drink of day perhaps it’s Psychological lol
I like inviting my mother-in-law around for a real coffee. It’s a good excuse to switch the coffee maker on. Delicious!
all kids off to school and me on my way to university and an esspresso is always a treat!
I always have a cup f tea when I first get up to refresh and gently wake me and follow it with a strong cup of Joe which fully wakes me up. I am quite sensitive to caffeine so only drink one full caffeine hit in the morning but have a decaffeinated coffee mid-morning.
There is nothing like starting the day with a cup of coffee, especially now the colder weather is upon us! I lovemaking a vanilla latte in the morning – tastes delicious and is the perfect way to start my day.
Now my children are back/starting school, I’m planning a lot of lazy days, and drink coffee will be one way to be lazy and relaxed. I’m always on the lookout for new things to try and would love to win this.
Nothing better than a big mug of coffee (one of those ones you need both hands to hold) on a cold wet day, really makes me feel good
Try to limit myself to 5 cups a day…
A great alternate use to instant coffee, it’s great in baking with chocolate. A spoonful really intensifies the chocolate flavour and doesn’t make it taste like coffee.
Oh my I would love to try that coffee. I can smell those beans already and that’s just me looking at the picture. Wooohooo bring it on xxx
The best thing about Pact coffee is the 125% of the Fairtrade wages they pay . Drinking coffee and helping folk earn a decent living at the same time – my kind of multi-tasking.
One of the best things I have ever taught my kids is how to use the coffee machine and now our twins bring us each a cup in bed most mornings
I love coffee so much I wrote a poem about it.
Oh how I love thee,
my special coffee.
You make feel alive
when my energy takes a dive.
You keep me on my feet.
Oh coffee, you are a necessity
and a treat!
Hi, I’m Alica and I have a coffee addiction! I eat, sleep and breath caffeine 🙂
Without coffee I am nothing!
I enjoy coffee all day: From my morning cappuccino, to my midday espresso, to a nice strong filter after dinner with the girls.
I always have a coffee before work (as I do not like the type of coffee they have there) then one the minute I get home then one after my evening meal .On a Sunday I go mad and have as many as I like xx
I only but coffee whole bean and grind it myself. I have become a coffee snoob over the years only liking the best beans
i know a few people who love a nice coffee
i love a cup of coffee for our ‘elevenses’, i prefer my coffee milky, and not too strong!
There’s a particulare palce where a friend and I go for coffee and last time we were there I bought some beans but it was quite some time ago and I haven’t seen her in a while. Today I made a cup of coffee with the beans (freshly ground) using a PACT bought hario filter. I took a sip of the coffee and instantly thought of my friend. I was trying to figure out why she’d suddenly sprung to mind when I realised that it was because the only other time I’ve had that taste is when I’m with her.
Nobody in my family functions without coffee in the morning haha – my Dad won’t have it with a drop of milk in it, but my Mum and I like it really milky 🙂
I like my coffee mid morning to give me a boost, medium roast with milk and sugar
We use a cafetiere in the morning. Have cappuccino mid-morning. After dinner we use our 15 bar coffee machine. Variety is great.
i love towake up to a nice cup of coffee and i also like liquer coffee
My husband is a coffeeholic he loves trying new coffees and machines – its a real passion for him x thanks for the chance to win x
I’m not that fussy about coffee but I find decaffeinated tasteless and I don’t have the patience for whole bean.
We like coffee all day my hubby likes to grind up different coffees together and experiment. His coffee is so strong one cup keeps you awake all day.
We are big coffee drinkers but tend to just use instant coffee as we do’t like it strong. Always start the day with a mug of coffee.
My husband drinks loads of coffee,I’m more of tea drinker but I do enjoy a cup of coffee after dinner.
I know my instant brands, but I’ve never tried fresh-ground. I love the combination of coffee and chocolate even more than coffee alone, and I can really understand @Laura’s comment upthread; there’s nothing like coffee in baking!
Whole bean most mornings from the cafe at work.
Life isnt worth living without freshly brewed coffee, I love it, perhaps a little too much!
morning cuppa LOVE DECAFF FROM LIDEL
We Love coffee, especially my partner! Its the one way to keep him happy and the one way to get him out of bed in the morning!
Coffee comes second to a cup of tea for me but every time my sister visits she always moans that I have no decent coffee in the house as she loves a decent cup of coffee so if I won this she would be thrilled!
I only have a milky coffee that is the way I have always taken it and weak
I love love love coffee! To drink or to eat in baking! I love drinking my morning cuppa in a wild feverfew mug that my boyfriend got me. Its awesome to drink coffee from and reminds me of my fave video game red dead redemption 🙂
We drink our ground coffee at the weekend and use a filter machine. I remember going to France with my parents in the 1970s and they brough back their first filter machine, it was an orange Moulinex one, we have been a family of coffee drinkers ever since and tend to overdose at the weekend!
my workmates can’t believe how much coffee i drink before i even get to work i have had 4 brews and im always the first to make one
I love my first cuppa coffee in the peace and quiet with nobody in the house just me
I adore coffee and have to have two cups every morning before going to work – black no milk and no sugar -coffee at its purest
I love a latte to start the day off right…yum
my hubby brings me a coffee in bed every morning and has done for the past 15 years
You are the luckiest woman on this planet. 🙂
I used to work in the alps and we had such delicious coffee beans but they don’t ship to the UK. I love having a coffee in the garden on a lazy Saturday watching the birds. Love Pact’s ethos and the fact they pay such a good wage to the farmers.
I can’t stand coffee to drink but I love it as a flavouring in baking. I’ve tried to like coffee on its own but I just can’t! I’d share the prize with my friends who do like it so the prize wouldn’t be wasted on me 🙂
Ok, I’ll just come clean, I know nothing whatsoever about coffee and drink the very rare mug of instant de-caf. However my son is a real coffee nut and I’ld loee to treat (and impress) him with some good coffee (I do have a proper coffee machine for visitors) – all the coffees I buy for when he visits are always a let down apparently so I’m trusting your judgement on this one.
