Hey everyone, sorry it's been so long, but I'm back and raring to go once again, this time, not a cafe, but a website.

eightpointnine.com is a website that allows you to create your own blend of coffee and have it shipped to you, in your grind of choice (or full beans if you grind at home!)

Finding this website through them following me on twitter, I had to venture into them.

You can either create your own blend from scratch, or use their own grandcru blends which are updated weekly.

You start your journey by simply adjusting 2 sliders; flavour and body, then you can continue to personally name and discover what signature flavours your blend will hold when received 

not so much a subscription service but you can adjust how often your coffee will be sent out to you, and even if you're not massively keen on them its easy enough to cancel.

one of the brilliant options in my opinion is that once you receive your blend, before they prepare and send out the next, you can simply return to the sliders to adjust how the next batch will be

I opted for a rich, sweet blend aptly named 'buzzy wake up' (if you don't want to name your coffee the website fills in a witty automatic name)

the coffee is delivered in a small enough package able to fit right through your letter box so no having to wait around to sign for packages, your coffee will be ready for you when you wake up(if your postman is early, if that ever still happens) or when you get home (like the rest of England)

each blend of coffee comes with a fancy taste card of: what percentage of beans your blend is, how it will taste, the key taste features and even a step by step on how to make the most of it.

(it even tells you who blended the coffee for you, thanks Paul!)

after doing a cupping test I really cannot wait to get this beauty into my moka pot tomorrow morning

Did I mention your first bags free?

I suggest all coffee lovers get involved with eightpoinynine  if you only have a morning coffee or, like myself, completely fascinated by the stuff!

Keep it up eightpointnine, you're doing the coffee nation proud!
