    So what were your top coffees of 2010?

    For me i think Coffee Angel's Chelba and Hasbean's Malawi Viphya Geisha we're the best i've had.

    Both of them brewed using a V60 or Chemex.

    One that pops straight to mind was my monthly Square Mile sub coffee which was a Southern Sidamo called Gerbicho Rogicha. I must email them and see if they'll have it back. Square Mile have been great all year for me.

    Hasbeans Bolivia Machacamarca(2010 crop - Maria & Mario Andrade)
    I have returned to this bean time and time again this year and it continues to wow me.

    On filter, Hasbean's Yirgacheffe - I love Kenyans and the yirg's always stood out for me.

    Espresso was a single origin that I can't remember for the life of me :-/

    For sheer consistency and value I have to say Nick's "Sweet Espresso" can't be beaten. It's not the "best" coffee (which is entirely subjective anyway) but it's exceptional coffee at €4 for a 250gm bag. No matter what highly rated coffee I have on the go I'm always delighted to come back to a shot of Sweet Espresso.

    In espresso, 'Bosquecheffe' has been the absolute highlight. Dreamed up by Ger in 3fe and roasted by Steve at Hasbean. 50/50 blend of Ethiopia Yirgacheffe and Guatemala El Bosque.

    For filter I have tasted a wider range of coffees this year than ever before. And I think that has been the highlight—the privilege of being exposed to so many world class coffees many of which have shattered my preconceptions of the potential in any particular origin or varietal.
