My last coffee purchase was just the right amount (125g) which meant the coffee beans were fresh right to the end, so I went back to MacBeans in my lunch hour and purchased
CONTINENTAL BLEND - Strength Guide 5/5
Originally I had intended to try all of their ‘Pure Coffee’s but was won over by its description as I love strong coffee and have been feeling somewhat sleepy today.
"Our darkest roast, producing a very strong coffee which is both rich in flavour and high in caffeine"
The MacBeans website explains why coffee is sometimes blended instead of 
offered pure: "The purpose of blending is to combine a variety of coffee characteristics such as Aroma, Acidity, Body & Colour. Many commercial blends use a high percentage of cheaper, inferior quality beans as fillers to lower the cost. MacBeans blend only for taste using the highest quality beans. "
We’ll see how the first grind goes…

Thanks Jim, I am feeling a little over-warm in my office just now, but Scotland is lovely in the summer too, just keeping busy with wedding preparations. Thanks for stopping by!
