ASDA's extra special Cuban Havana Roast, which is, alas, no more! Likewise Taylor's Cuban Havana and - all Cuban Havana! Gone from the shelves! And no explanation why either...

I'm making do with ASDA's extra special Brazilian (the one with the drummer in the yellow shirt) but I'm open to suggestions. There is, of course, always http://www.cubascoffee.com/ though the postage seems a tad excessive.

As for method, I make it in a small Bodum cafetierre (from TK Maxx, natch); a single heaped scoop. In the cup, a spoonful of Billington's unrefined cane sugar crystals covered with a dribble of semi-skimmed. I pour, but don't stir. This can last me up to two hours, from hot to cold, throughout my working morning. One pot per day, otherwise I'm away with the fairies; as it is that last dribble can be pretty fierce!
