Capp-yu-keeno.

“Coming up next: Want some foam on your coffee? It’s called a ‘capp-yu-keeno‘, and you won’t believe what it costs.”

Boy, I’m Kinda Tired.

Actually, I’m really tired.

On Saturday we opened Penny University, and set about bringing a more methodical, considered and exploratory approach to brewed coffee to the people of London.

The response so far has been really great, and the coffee has been tasting wonderful. We’re working very hard on presenting coffee to newcomers and the uninitiated in an approachable, stripped back and open way. We’re trying to show people just how easy brewing an amazing cup of coffee at home can be, and trying also to raise public awareness of the myriad of factors that affect a coffee, alongside the efforts and toils of producers worldwide.

It’s personally very rewarding, and so far the response has been tremendously encouraging. But it’s been yet another extremely difficult, demanding, taxing and exhausting exercise. And this time I’ll admit that I’m feeling pretty wiped.

A Lengthy Hiatus.

So. It’s been quite a while, no?

But now there’s a new layout, a new city, and a lot of spare time. So for better or for worse, expect some content.
