Hummingbird for us - the grind works best in our Rancilio, and the quality is consistently high.

If by supermarket you mean Common Sense organics when we've run out in the weekend and can't get to Good Fortune Coffee in Petone.  Then Good Fortune Coffee is my answer.

L'affare, hummingbird and jeds are by top go to coffee beans. #3 is just right. Organic or random selection.

 

What measurement of coffee beans to people use per cup? I go for 5-6 teaspoons of beans.

Havana Five Star (and actually, most of their beans are pretty nice as a rotation). 

 

Matakana Village Market Blend

 

Occasionally, I have a Mt Atkinson, but only when I get them from a friend.

My machine has a grinder and the volume needs to be set depending on the beans, believe it or not. 

 

Some lighter coloured beans provide slightly more grind into the portafilter than the darker ones. Not by much, but enough to affect extraction.

Karajoz 750g, either the organic or barista professional - whichever is the freshest on the day. I’ll go through all stock on the shelf to check date and, if not fresh enough, will buy from the local roaster.

Until recently, these 750g bags have been between $18 and $20; I see it’s gone up to $23, but still excellent value for a roast we really like.

This reminds me of one of my favourite pet peaves, and that’s the lack of a ‘roasted on’ date by most (all?) supermarket-sold coffee. As a result, one has to work out what ‘life’ each roaster expects from their beans and count back from there - Karajoz is easy as they have a BB that’s exactly one year out (yeah, right!), while others may be three, four, six… months. Why not include both on the packet?

Also, the complete lack of decaf beans on the local supermarket shelves, but I guess that even if they stocked it, it’ll be so old I’d not want to buy it! Always buy this from my local roaster.

My Dad said that Hummingbird (Oomph) is the best supermarket coffee.

Countdown French Roast. Not as good as the real thing, but the best I can find here.
