Best thing is accessibility to a wider audience and that consumers are developing more sophisticated pallets. Worst thing is the snobbery of some establishments

I think we are really beginning to see a sophistication in tastes in the Uk and I expect this will develop even further in 2012. We are increasingly unwilling to compromise on quality and this is all the more true when it comes to seeking out really high-quality coffee that is responsible sourced, full of flavour and the perfect end to a meal
