Snippets from a recent visit to OUTLIER with our Mujeres on guest filter. It’s a beautiful washed Colombian with notes of apricot, vanilla and cranberry - such a treat to see it on some of the most aesthetic shelves in Glasgow 🤎

Morning view from the Isle of Mull! Made the trip out to see the team at .cafe - and our Coffee Technician Pete gave their stunning custom white Linea PB a full service to keep it running beautifully. So good to see our Index espresso in the wild, right by the River Forsa, with some of the best hospitality around 🤍

Mull, you’ve been magic!

This is a rare chance to taste their coffees and hear the story straight from the source.

Teviot has been a fixture of Edinburgh life since 1889, holding the proud title of the world’s oldest purpose-built student union. After a massive, much-anticipated renovation, its doors are back open. While it’s steeped in university history, one of the best things about the redesign is that it is a space built for everyone, students and Edinburgh locals alike.

We caught up with Courtney McNair, Teviot’s Deputy Venue Operations Manager, to talk about what it takes to bring a 130-year-old landmark back to life, the comforting predictability coffee brings to an all-day neighbourhood spot, and the best spots to hide out with a flat white in the sun.

Our showroom and training hub is officially open! ✨

Beyond sourcing and roasting, we care about every element that goes into an excellent coffee - the equipment, baristas, and craft that brings it all together. Our new showroom is designed to celebrate that.

It’s a dedicated hub for a range of equipment testing (featuring and ) and a space for barista teams to train on the same set ups they use, away from the noise of a busy cafe.

Check out our recent feature in (link in bio) to hear the story behind the space, and scroll through to get a look at the new setup.

We’re stoked to share it with you ☕️

The latest in our Behind the Bar series had us popping our wellies on and heading out to to hear the story behind their mission to restore a family legacy through regenerative farming.

In 2016, the Buchanan-Smith brothers stepped in to take on the family farm, starting from scratch with a fully DIY spirit and a commitment to older, more natural ways of working the land.

Fast forward to today, and The Free Company has become a Green Michelin-starred blueprint for a circular food system. On a farm where the menu is dictated by the morning’s harvest, every element must earn its place on the table - including the coffee.

We’re proud to supply the coffee for their dining room, seeing it as the final note in an experience that prioritises provenance above all else. As Operations Manager Liam Flaherty puts it: “If we’re asking people to think about where their food comes from, it makes sense that the same applies to what’s in the cup.”
