Googled meantime coffee but no joy so will have to check again next time...

Me, too. And the reason is that there is no Meantime coffee.

It is my fault. I was delirious after that sip a couple of weeks ago. I was seeing things.

It goes to prove that if it is not on the Google, then it does not exist!

Just got back from the Horniman Farmers' Market. My bag is loaded up. Bought another Little Jack Horner's Veggie Sausage Roll. There is a new lady selling flowers. Her flowers were top quality. I've got some of the most interesting flowers I've seen for a long, long time.

Most importantly, I've got the coffee beans.

The reason I thought it was Meantime is that they are using a little chalk board to advertise the coffee bean prices. This comes from Meantime Brewery. Nothing to do with the coffee beans that they are using and selling.

The name of the coffee beans is: Volcano.

Specifically out of the three for sale they are using the "Fullsteam Espresso Blend".

I use Union Sumatra Gajah Mountain beans in my machine. They are so good I stockpile them whenever I see them in shops.

Most days when I head north on the choo-choo trains I get off at Brockley to grab another of those cheeky little macchiatos from the coffee hut call "matchbox" on Brockley's Platform 1. The coffee taste is sensational. It is the first thing I think of each morning. The thought of the taste of it actually gets me out of bed and going in the morning.

This morning I asked the lovely young lady that works there what coffee beans they used.

And, you know where this is going rshdunlop...

UNION!

The big bag the lady showed me didn't have Sumatra Gajah Mountain but it did have Union. It was a purple-y colour.

I am such a Union boy now.
