The Coffee Collective espresso blend has stolen my heart. This is the best espresso I have tried, mostly down to the elegance of the finish which lingers around and then leaves you wanting more like a sexy lady.

Caffe Culture is probably the biggest event in the UK coffee calendar, seminars and workshops from the SCAE, stands from every major manufacturer of equipment, plenty of coffee to drink and lots of people to chat to.
