It's shit.

Nor have I, I'd be a bit worried about the hygiene factor. However, it didn't stop Peter Jones in Sloane Square from selling a particular blend in 2008 for ?50 a cup for charity.


Not sure Anderson's in Bellenden Road would have the nerve to try selling coffee at that price though.

When you're in Vietnam you see packets and packets of "weasel" coffee which is supposed to be this stuff they've shat out.


Bollox.


you'd have to have farms of weasels eating and pooing these coffee beans out 24/7 to make the volume they sell. Marketing nonsense for tourists.


And yes, ?2.50 is pricey. But that sums up Andersons well - along with the sour service. Medium black coffee.....?2 max.

We have some of that weasle coffee at work, a chinese guy brought it back - but we only used it once - still have it I think.


Interesting to know if its a true method of production, he seemed to think it was.



Americano at Denmark Hill station (segafredo?) is ?1.45.

I thought Anderson's service had improved. But their cake prices have gone up a fair bit as well. I seem to remember they were offering a shot of expresso when they opened for about a pound. Not sure how that translates to ?2.50 for a black Americano though.

Well if Anderson's in Bellenden Road is Charging ?2.50 for a black Americano...


Then they are much more Trendy than all the Cheepo coffee shops in ED.


ED coffee shops will need to charge ?3.50 to regain their Status and Respect...


Can't have ED Folk drinking in anything other than the most expensive outlets. Mwah..

Well the best cup of coffee I had was high on a volcano overlooking Ubud in Bali, sat in a farm full of weasels eating and pooing these coffee beans out 24/7! Very friendly they were too.


They use that clever nose of theirs to sniff out the ripest beans, and then their gut enzymes breakdown many of the chemicals that make coffee taste bitter - so the cleaned and roasted beans are some of the smoothest you can get!


I have it on good authority that the Vietnamese cat poo coffee isn't the real thing - but it's stuff that's been chemically treated to taste similar.


It's not unlike the dark days pre EU when anyone could claim to make Parmesan, Parma gam or Bordeaux wine - these terms were considered by rapacious businessmen to be 'styles' rather than a measure of authenticity.


I recommend to coffee fans to NOT taste real cat poo coffee, as everything else will seem a poor substitue afterwards.

the omnipresent helen graves rates Andersons as #8 in the list of top food places in peckham

read and then reread the article - it appears that she have never actually there, but like the look of things, so its worthy of a ranking. A food critic who compiles her top 10 lists of foodie places by looking through the fucking window


The bread is good from andersons FYI.

To be fair though, its worth paying a premium NOT to have to go to Blue Mountain

The bread is from Blackbird, so not very original. I saw the blog you linked to. She hasn't been to Melange either.

Black Americano is now ?1.50 at Blue Mountain. I don't have a problem with going in there for a take-away.

this is unrelated to coffee but related to price - i paid ?3 for a brownie in andersons last week - is this a little bit expensive??? considering most brownies in borough market are 1.50 - 2.50...and this brownie was nice, but nothing special, and i had it to take away. if i had of known the price before i bought it, i wouldn't have bothered...

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
