I've just added a link to my post above with a place that I know that my brother uses!andyjreid said:I like just outside Glasgow David. I genuinely can't think of anywhere I've seen this locally even with the amount of Scottish Ex-Pats that move to Cyprus.

I was much better using the gas to have proper control over the heat which I think saved some of the bitterness.
I was planning to place an order for some of the Cypriot brands of coffee as I remember trying them when over there a few years back. The one that sticks in my mind is Laiko(?) Gold.
There is an ebay store selling 200g back of Cyrpiot coffee for between £3.00 - £3.50 (depending on which brand) however they charge £3.50 per bag to post to the UK and they won't combine postage (I've asked).

rum the only image I embedded was the picture of my cup this morning. I know that place is expensive for postage but altogether it's no more than I've paid for some other coffee here in the UK. I think I'll probably try the brand you have recommended also.
