I own a Tassimo, Nespresso, and, B2C, brewers - so I'm fully aware of the comparative costs.

I often buy Starbucks' 250g packs of beans at £3.50 - and will typically get 35 drinks per pack (enough for the week).

I winced at the price of Coffee Beans at Carluccio's restaurant, at £5.95 - but the price of the Coffee Workshop offerings is, frankly, taking the p***

By comparison, my preferred roaster, Cooper & Co, typically charge between £4.00 - £5.00 for a 250g pack.

Not an Actor, nor married to Jamie-Lee Curtis.
