🍄I tried mushroom coffee so you don't have to.

Mushroom coffee is a blend of instant coffee and functional mushrooms - marketed as a calmer, healthier alternative to regular coffee. But do the claims stack up?

The health claims around the common 'functional' mushrooms are based on early stage research and using doses higher than anything in a commercial product. Meanwhile regular coffee has one of the strongest evidence bases of any drink we consume - it's consistently linked to reduced risk or type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's and liver conditions.

The one real benefit of mushrooms coffee? A controlled and gentle caffeine intake. Which you can achieve without the mushrooms - or the price tag. A half caf or naturally lower caffeine coffees gets you there, without the compromise on flavour.

Filter coffee often contains MORE caffeine than espresso!

The amount of caffeine in your cup mainly depends on:
• coffee species/variety
• dose
• brew method

We built a simple caffeine calculator to estimate how much caffeine is in your coffee.

Useful if you're trying to reduce caffeine without giving up great coffee.

Curious about how much caffeine is in your cup? Try the calculator - link in bio.

Free Filter Friday.

Once a month we serve free filter coffee at MULTI STORY café at the top of Peckham Levels.

Alongside the brews we host a mini coffee cupping, usually exploring decaf and naturally low-caffeine coffees.

This week we tasted three low caffeine coffees: Laurina, Aramosa and Excelsa.

It’s a relaxed way to learn about coffee, caffeine and cupping — no experience needed.

📍 MULTI STORY, Peckham Levels
🗓 Usually the first Friday of the month
⏰ 10:30–12:00

Drop in, ask questions and taste some great coffee.

See you at the next one!

Brewing Sugarcane EA process decaf using a pour over can be challenging, as the water drawdown can be excessively slow.

For coffees decaffeinated using this method, the more brittle nature of the roasted beans means a high amount of fine particles are produced when grinding, which migrate to the bottom of the filter bed.

To speed up water draw-down you can use a brewer that encourages fast flow (such as the Orea V4 with fast base attachment) and/or grind a little coarser.

This is the one person Orea recipe we are using, with the fast base attachment.

Dose: 15g
Water: 250mL
Grind: Medium-Coarse (25 clicks on Comandante)
Water Temp: 92C
Target Brew Time: 2:15-2:45
Pouring Guide: Bloom 30mL for 30s; then 2 x 110mL pours

✅️ Our first SCA Introduction to Coffee course.

☕️ Plenty of cupping and discussions regarding what makes coffee 'specialty'.

And a good excuse to get the jelly beans out to talk about taste vs smell (credit to for that routine).

Thanks to everyone who joined - there will be some more dates announced soon.

The Ultimate Tiramisu uses decaf - so you can have a second slice and sweet dreams 😴

The 3 keys to our Ultimate Decaf Tiramisu:

☕️ STRONG, FRESHLY BREWED DECAF. A medium roast with plenty of sweetness and a full body is best.

We use two 'espresso style' brews of our DECAF COLOMBIA El Vergel in an inverted aeropress. 20 grams fine-medium grind size, 80mL water, 60 second steep time. 3 to 4 double shots of decaf espresso (from home or your local cafe) will also be great.

👅LESS SUGAR. The sweetness of the coffee, sherry and rum means you dont need to add much sugar. We use 40 grams, around 6 grams per serving, half of most recipes.

⏳️TIME. Overnight in the fridge for it all to come together.

Full recipe on the website - try it and let us know what you think. Is this The Ultimate Decaf Tiramisu?
