Hi Kari, there are several suppliers but the two main culprits are Hasbean and Hill & Valley. In my experience, Hasbean roast slightly lighter than H&V - I'd recommend trying some from each to see which you prefer.
I have just returned from London and impressed with their approach, a little expensive but who else is selling cup of excellence beans in London, with a roast date on them?

I would recommend roasting your own, it's much easier than you think and can be much cheaper (if you join the non profit green coffee buying club in the UK, so you can get your beans wholesale).

As i posted in the other thread regarding uk roasters.......i have limited experience as i've only had a machine 2-3 weeks but i ordered some beans from Has Bean. I ordered them one day and they came the next. The roast day printed on the packet was the same date that i had ordered them on. I can recommend the Has Bean Premium Espresso Blend........its the best tasting coffee i've tasted so far out of the 8 or so different roasts and origins i've had.
