Allpress has announced it's opening a new site in Farringdon in early April. Expect the same high-class brews and beans from the cafe's other outposts, including signature blends alongside rotating single-origin coffees. As for food, the obligatory pastry selection and in-house cakes will also make a daily appearance.
Moving to having a dedicated app for people's phones is something I've been planning for some time. The way of accessing the community is new, but the community has deep roots. Building on Roasting Lab's three-year run as a subscription-based professional development and networking hub, the apps are designed to make the platform easier to use day to day, extending its focus on community mentorship, guidance and practical advice for roasters of all skill levels.
Camp Coffee Shop offers a level of access and connection you just can't get at a big trade show. Instead of rushing between crowded booths and packed lectures, attendees spend real time working through their own business challenges with instructors and peers.
Neighbors kept repeating, 'We're so excited for you to come, but Patticakes was the place where we got coffee, but we're really bummed to lose that little coffee corner.' Following community feedback, Fishman set out to find a coffee vendor to operate out of Prime Pizza; Altadena Beverage Market's owners, Kate and Adam Vourvoulis, recommended Mejia.

The new agreement proposes adding at least 20 stores over the next five years across the Metroplex, including confirmed locations in Bedford, Plano, Rowlett and Grapevine.
For many of us, surviving San Francisco requires thick skin, a rent-controlled apartment, and a real healthy dose of caffeine. Getting into the SF coffee scene is like joining a very caffeinated cult; you just have to pick your flavor. These are our picks.

Whether you prefer a classic flavor like caramel or want something a bit more unique like French toast, we tried to cover the gamut of flavors. We ranked each latte based on how accurate the flavor was to its description and its overall sweetness level (meaning, was it a pure sugar bomb or was espresso the only flavor present? - balance is key) to crown the best of the best.
First and foremost, that small hole allows steam to escape. If a lid is fully sealed right after the cup is filled, steam can gather inside. Under the right conditions, that could build enough pressure to pop the lid off and result in a nasty burn. Letting a tiny bit of steam escape instead makes that pressure build up less likely to happen.
Starbucks competitor Dutch Bros saw its stock price rise in premarket trading on Friday after the coffee chain posted double-digit revenue growth in its most recent quarter. However, shares were flat as of late morning, with the stock (NYSE: BROS) hovering at just over $50 a share. Yesterday, Dutch Bros reported its fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 results, showing impressive gains in nearly every key metric, including: Total revenue: $443.6 million (up 29.4% year over year) Net income: $29.2 million (versus $6.4 million in the same quarter a year earlier)
A Gofundme campaign in support of the Ruskeys' three children and funeral costs described the couple as "caring and generous members of our community, always eager to support schools, causes, and friends" and as "loving and fiercely engaged parents to their cherished children." "We are all at a loss to navigate this unimaginable tragedy, but we are reaching out for support to help the Ruskey family with funeral costs, memorial arrangements, and to alleviate immediate financial pressure," organizer Jose Caballero wrote.
What makes Granada so unconventional is the fact that it's located on the lower level of their actual home, a situation enabled by LA County's relatively new Microenterprise Home Kitchen Operation (also known as MEHKO) permit. The permit allows Wayser and Watters to legally serve coffee and food out of their house, with limitations on the number of staff and total annual earnings.
Viewed from the side, the Mazzer Philos coffee grinder looks a little bit like a laser blaster made for the hands of a giant. Its 400-watt motor purrs like a clothes dryer when I flip the switch. It is elegant in its way, maybe even handsome. But it's also daunting, lightly industrial, and the size of a small dog. It announces seriousness. Its $1,500 price tag announces similar seriousness.
On my last trip, in Bologna, I found yet another way to enjoy Italian coffee (beyond ordering a doppio). One memorable café topped its coffees with fruit powder-infused whipped cream. They were listed under a section on the menu appropriately named "caffe della gioia" (yes, "joy coffee"). These joyful mugs are topped with a generous mountain of whipped cream that can be folded with fruit- or nut powders, like pomegranate, pistachio, orange, wild berries, and aniseed.
Long-term coffee drinking may be associated with a lower risk of developing dementia and more favorable cognitive health outcomes, according to a long-running analysis involving more than 130,000 people. The study, published online Feb. 9 in JAMA, found that among both men and women, people in the highest quartile of caffeinated coffee consumption (2-3 cups per day or more) had an 18% lower risk of dementia compared with those who reported little or no caffeinated coffee consumption.
In a move that challenges both quality control and marketing norms in specialty coffee, Pennsylvania-based roaster Passenger Coffee is releasing a high-end coffee harvested 10 years ago. The company described this week's release of a Kenya Kiriani Peaberry from the 2016 harvest - frozen as green coffee at peak freshness - as "proof of concept" for its long-term green coffee freezing program.
Like straight up, you get coffee, but they also are the most complimentary and upbeat group of employees I've ever seen. I don't Dutch Bros often, but when I do, it's usually because I need young people to tell me my glasses are wicked, and I'm still cool,
"Ironically, many if not most of these 'sustainability' projects remain disassociated from companies' core procurement strategies, meaning the coffee produced from these projects is not necessarily bought by the companies involved, or only in minimal quantities," the paper states. "And for the coffee that is purchased, prices do not factor into the project design, despite the fact that price is the single variable impacting farmer income that is in the direct control of companies."
As the beverage we all know and love, coffee is beautifully fleeting, reflecting seasonality and the specific work of many hands from seed to cup. Yet as an industry, coffee has advanced to become the stuff of institutional archival preservation. On the latter front, the UC Davis Library says it has received three major coffee-related collections adding to its existing coffee-focused archives.
