Our Story
In October 2021 we had a vision to create an independent, alternative take-out coffee bar, with the emphasis on sourcing & brewing specialty coffee. Whilst on the outside we may appear to be just like any other coffee bar, we strive to be different & to stand out in coffee, individuality & topic of conversations! Ultimately we pride ourselves on brewing the coffee that you deserve…
About Our Coffee
We had to focus on individuality meaning that the quality & character of our coffee had to distinguish us apart from other coffee shops, so it was only right & proper that we chose to partner up with ‘Trading Post Coffee Roasters’ a renowned roastery based in Brighton. Not only do we share a passion for great coffee, we have the absolute pleasure of working alongside their amazing team. To cater to as many tastes as possible we serve our house blend ‘Black Pearl’, a decaffeinated option ‘Mountain Water’ and up to 3 guest single origin coffees all of which are freshly roasted by Trading Post Coffee Roasters, plus we have an outstanding range of loose-leaf teas from ‘Tea Pigs’ & ethically sourced, single origin hot chocolate.
What Machinery We Use
We predominantly use Victoria Arduino Coffee Machinery. Having two Mythos One Grinders dialled in during service, makes it easier to grind both regular & decaffeinated coffee. Every shot is then ground to order which preserves as much freshness as possible, the coffee is then evenly distributed and tamped using our PukPress to guarantee consistent pressure prior to extraction. It’s then over to the Espresso Machine, where the elegant & classy ‘Eagle One’ not only creates a particular atmosphere but also ensures all of our espresso based drinks are extracted to perfection.
