When I was very young and visiting my home town of South Shields every Easter and Summer holidays, I used to really like my Aunt Nell's percolated coffee with full cream milk and sugar. I have never been able to get coffee so nice since. Talking about it to Leratty, a member once on SN and he a coffee/tea importer, several bean types and blends were recommended. I bought a grinder and tried these types, and I started to develop a taste of the different ones but, while nice, they didn't match up to Aunt Nell's.
Then Mrs JJ and I happened upon a small café in an antique and collectors mall and their coffee was fabulous - well to me anyway. It was/is blended and called Tilley Green from a company would you believe, only half a mile from where we live. We now get only that.
One of the coffees recommended by Leratty is Blue Mountain from Jamaica and its good if expensive - not that 'Tilly' is cheap!
