Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee

[zimzam]

Anyone know where I can purchase this cheaper? My local coffee shop sells it for �10.80 for 125 gms and I have purchased some online at �10.50 for 125 gms but I wondered if anyone knows a cheaper place to get it?

Hi Zimzam
I once managed to get it a little cheaper in our local Sainsbury supermarket, but it was on special offer.
Our local coffee shop is also expensive but try the above mentioned supermarket online. They may have offers on again.
Got to admit Blue Mountain Coffee is our favourite too
Good Luck.

Whittards �16 for 227g (that makes it about �7 per 100g or �8.81 for 125g)

Hey Samuel - my local shop selling the coffee at �10.80 is Whittards! I'll investigate Sainsbury's, thank you cruella - expensive that the coffee is its really beautiful isn't it?

Do you know anyone who is going to the Caribbean for their hols.

My mother in law used to bring it back for me from Jamaica - it has quite a long shelf life and I keep it in the fridge. I think I read somewhere that you can freeze coffee (don't know if I'm right about that though!)

I know that's a bit extreme but its surprising the amount of people going to the Caribbean. Or why don't you go yourself zimzam get great coffee and have a fabulous holiday to boot!!

:o)

Oh that just made me think - do you live anywhere near a large West Indian community as they have small shops selling their own products it may be cheaper in one of those.

We used to live in North London and there were lots of Caribbean shops - worth a visit cos they're really interesting anyway the variety of different products.

Well I don't know anyone that's going to the Carribean and I can't afford to go. I live in the sticks so no chance of ever meeting anyone from the west Indian community. I'm ex North London but it is not cost effective for me to go back home just to get this stuff. For the record it is fine to freeze coffee beans. I had my Blue Mountain ground for me and kept it in the fridge in an airtight container, but my amaretto coffee beans I keep in the freezer. Its going to be just under �11 for a measly 125g by the looks of it. Mind you it lasts ages as I only have it once a day using my bedside coffeemaker. This is a link to a slightly cheaper way of buying it http://www.hrhiggins.co.uk/coffees/original_co ffees/jamaica/blue_mountain

zimzam - this eBay seller has the same thing in instant, ground and beans - and there are other sellers who may have better prices - they will usually ship more for just a tiny bit more shipping charge:

Those two look so nice (different label) but its actually more expensive with the addition of postage - the link for over here is a hefty postage for the weight of the package. I'll keep the links though just in case! Thanks BBW
