The coffee is iced. The factor: 50. Let’s get into it.

For several weeks we have been celebrating as our current guest roastery. It has been and continues to be a delicious time! We salute Culainn and Lea! They expertly roast and ethically source spectacular coffees, with a special relationship with Peruvian farms and coffees but a roster that includes many other origins. We’ve enjoyed an array of delightful coffees, here’s a taster:

☕ El Diamante, Peru, washed process. We have this on as a juicy batch right now and next week it will be back as a deep, fruity guest espresso. It has a sweet, bright acidity.
☕ Waliki, Bolivia, coco natural process. This made a tropical, vibrant V60 for us.
☕ El Jaragual, Colombia, from Jorge Mira, Thermal Shock, an outstanding, idiosyncratic, funky brew we have on as a V60 right now.
☕ Consuelo Rubio, Finca San Francisco, Peru - a delicate filter brew that we loved. The Wild Raspberry note really comes through.
☕ Getuya, Kirinyaga County, Kenya, natural process. The passion fruit and orange jam notes on this literally exploded around 45 seconds after brewing. Incredible.

More are resting now. Come by for a taste of the filters we have on over the weekend, and at some point next week we will have the El Diamante back on as a guest espresso. We now serve a choice of four espressos daily. Cheers, Jonny and Olivia 😁☕️👌

Anyone else brewing these exceptional coffees at home at the moment? Pure blackcurrant juice in the cup from Myanmar coffee grown on the Green Land Estate. Always interesting to see and taste a Scott Labs (‘SL’) varietal grown outside Kenya. At Kiosk 1 we’ve got this on as a filter and guest espresso right now. Exactly as we made the cherry-hued natural process coffee from Indonesia, pictured here, last week. Hope you’re enjoying the sun. Cheers! Jonny and Olivia 😎☀️☕️🍒

We’re open! Coffee tastes better than ever*. Kiosk 1 is secure. The sun is out. Thanks for your patience today. Let’s get into it! *Among other more classical coffees we have a Colombian espresso on that tastes of watermelon and a filter from Honduras that tastes like cherries and honey.

Hi Surrey Quays - apologies for the unforeseen closure this morning. We have been vandalised and are unable to open the shutter to trade (mechanism for opening said shutter pictured). We hope to have this fixed and be bringing you delicious brews again by late morning - we’ll keep you posted. Have a good one!

On the occasion of this day of rain let’s talk about how good this coffee is. A natural process from Honduras with credible tasting notes of cherry, honey and apple. It has been an outstanding filter for us in recent days. 🤌. Nice one . Their slate of filters over the winter has been 👌🌞. From funky naturals from Ethiopia and Rwanda to refined washed coffees from Colombia and Ethiopia it’s been a flavour festival. Good luck out there under the grey. See you for a brew!

Life in Rotherhithe… a different side of zone 2 London. An amazing place to live and run this little business. I’m sure all our local customers agree! Should we really be telling anyone?! 😂 Hard not to celebrate it!
