Just received my Joffrey's order today as well Much needed as I've not been feeling too great today. I have a Keurig so I got three boxes of the pods (and one as a present for a friend), and my husband got 3 bags of ground coffee. From what I've seen from others, the customs bill normally comes after, so I will wait and see if we get anything in the next few weeks. To be honest, I'm more than happy to pay it! It's very difficult for me to get a variety of pods for my machine, and I normally use a mail forwarding service to get them from Walmart. Since the Joffrey's delivery was free, it meant I was saving quite a bit of money from doing it this way!

I do have a coupon in my box for anyone that is maybe interested in ordering - HomeBrew
I don't get anything from this, so just wanted to pass it on to anyone who is thinking of ordering and wants another 15% off. I'm not sure how many people it will work for, but feel free!

I would be interested to try the filter coffee but not worth the risk for $50. Does it taste anything like costa or Starbucks?

I’m not talking about personal allowance, I’m looking at gov.uk website for goods sent to the UK, of which only customs duty applies to coffee. Same with Royal Mail website for parcels received from overseas - the allowance is £135 for goods and shipping costs combined.

L&R ordered a flask so I assume they’ve paid duty and VAT on that plus the standard handling fee from the delivery company 🤷🏻

In my opinion, it tastes better than Starbucks and Costa. When we stayed at the Polynesian I would always have a Kona Caramel Latte. Now I get to have it at home.

Depends on which one, we've really enjoyed the Kona Breakfast blend but find some of the flavoured ones far too mild compared to our coffees, I usually have mine on the standard strength setting on our machine but put it on extra strong when using those.

My UK faves are Costa, I'm not a fan of Starbucks burned taste, Whittard Guatemala elephant and when i'm feeling tight I just buy Waitrose beans for around £2-3 a bag to give you an idea of my taste in coffee!

Thanks for posting the link was really looking forward to drinking lots of Joffrey's in a couple of weeks time
Just put an order in to cheer myself up at least it'll be here quicker than waiting the year of postponing our visit

You’re welcome! It’s ‘HomeBrew’ I love my keurig so much and it’s so well used. I’ve had it for around 3/4 years now. It was bought as a present for my birthday so I’m not sure how much it cost, but I know that it was bought from a website called Office Barista. I think there’s only two machines to choose from, as they’re supposed to be for office use, but I’m more than happy with mine!
