Hey! It's great to hear you're getting into coffee! And believe me, it's a really slippery slope into Geekdom.
As for Square Mile, I've yet to try them, but I've heard nothing but good things, and Jim is a really good bloke. Really knows his stuff as well, as does his other half, Anette.
If you want to delve further into the UK coffee scene, I'd direct you to a couple of sites;
www.coffeeforums.co.uk - A UK based coffee forum. It's really helpful, and has everyone from home baristi through to Jim Hoffmann and Hugo Hercod. www.commongrind.co.uk/ - The UK's first mainstream coffee blog. Really good stuff. http://thirdwaveuk.blogspot.com - Yeah, okay, it's my blog, but I hope you can find it helpful.
Anyway, like I say, great to hear you're getting into it. Keep us all updated!
