For anyone who likes their coffee strength 6 'powerful', I was in Home Bargains yesterday morning (Monday) and without knowing anything about it so on the spur of the moment because it looked classy, got this, Percol Black & Beyond Espresso ground coffee 227g, for £1.49. Best Before Dec 2016. I think it must be new stock because they didn't have it last week.
It says on the bag that it's for both cafetieres & filters and, "...without the harsh after taste that's often associated with espressos". When I got home I checked to see if it was a good buy or a goodbye and the reviews if any. Fortunately it is a bargain and the reviews aren't bad (4 out of 5 on average). I haven't tried it yet though as I've got another ground coffee on the go.
