    Are you based in the UK? I noticed a few roasters have stopped shipping outside of the UK due to the brexit mess and prohibitive costs.

    A few that I regularly use:

    Square Mile

    Also, remember. Coffee is zero rated for VAT in the UK and Ireland, so there should be no VAT due on coffee coming in, conversely there will be no VAT removal at source, so the price is the price.

    I'm not sure if we are allowed to buy foodstuffs though.

    Any reason you're after UK roasters?

    I'll add assembly and manifesto to the list.

    If you're into lighter roasts the right roast (UK based) resells coffee from different roasters all over Europe and I've tried a few of their recommendations.

    Wilfa Svart, Barista Encore for non espresso options (Aero, Clever, v60, Kalita)

    They are two of the better, well recommended electric burr grinders.
