Cupping day with James and Stretch. Here's what's actually happening.

Cupping is the universal language of the coffee industry. From farmers evaluating their own harvest to importers assessing new lots, everyone uses the same method. One level playing field where the only variable is the coffee itself.

Coarsely ground coffee is placed dry into bowls. Hot water is poured directly onto the grounds and left to steep for around four minutes. The grounds rise to form a crust, and the first evaluation starts here. You break that crust with a spoon, releasing the trapped gases underneath. That first burst of aroma tells you a lot before you've tasted a thing.

Once the crust is broken, you slurp the coffee hard enough to spray it across your palate. It sounds chaotic. It's actually precise. The aeration brings out the full flavour profile in a way that sipping never could.

Each coffee is scored on fragrance, aroma, flavour, aftertaste, acidity, body, and balance. Anything scoring 80 or above on the SCA scale is considered speciality grade. The coffees at @
This is the process behind every origin decision. The reason a single farm makes it onto the menu, or doesn't.

Spires, cobbles, and a flat white that actually slaps.

Behind every flat white is a story worth knowing ☕

When you choose your local, you're choosing the people who remember your order, the baristas who know their craft, and the roasters who care where every bean comes from.

Independent coffee shops aren't just cafés. They're the slow mornings, the catch-ups, the second-home feeling you can't get anywhere else.

Thank you for keeping it local with us 🤍
