Don't know where to get them in UK.

Haffiana

Waitrose, or any supermarket. They are made by Tate & Lyle

PasturesNew

Tesco sell Tate & Lyle sugar crystals (£1.59 at present), and the Silver Spoon Coffee Crystals (£1.99). Sainsburys and Asda don't seem to have any comparable products.

Coffee, mainly. They're not much use in baking as they're so hard.

But what is the point? They are irregular shapes and sizes, which must make dosing your coffee difficult.

Do they have a distinctive taste, for example?

The usually molasses-y taste of brown sugar - nothing amazing. I think the main thing is that they look quite pretty in a bowl
