New Espresso

admin — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:29:08 +0000

Like sand through an hour glass, so are the days…. oh wait. New Espresso Time!

As the temperature plummets, windows start to mist up, mountains of leaves roam the parks like wilderbeast and small dogs skitter on wet pavements in leopard print Gucci sweaters, the time for an espresso revision has finally arrived.

The cafe has been serving the final versions this week with much feedback, and the full launch is but a week away.

Stay tuned…

New Location in Central London

We’re branching out

We’ve been working on opening a new coffee cart in central london for a few months now, and the time has finally arrived! Climpson & Sons now have a coffee cart outside Match Bar on Margaret St, W1. Some of you already know that the cart we used at the Big Chill was a test run for the new equipment and it all went swimmingly. Matt has been working hard to finalise the operation and he’s now cranking out Climpson & Sons caffeinated craziness at a cracking pace for the 9-to-5′ers around Oxford Circus.

The Match Bar have been amazing in lending us their street frontage, and were eager to bring us into the West End to complement their divine cocktails. We’re open from 8am – 3pm, then the bar opens and we grab a comfy couch to relax in.

So if your in the area, drop by to say ‘Hi’ and grab a quick latte.

The Big Chill Report

admin — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 10:44:44 +0000

What a week!

The Climpson & Sons stall rocked this year’s Big Chill festival as only we know how. Placed between Leon and the Castle Stage, we were in prime position to make the most of the best end the grounds. With some of the best food seen yet, and a wonderfully diverse mix of artists on stage, we stepped up to the challenge and smashed out top class coffee for the 33,000 festival go-ers. Open from 8am through till Midnight, those of you who have seen our Broadway Market cafe on a Saturday will know exactly how busy we were.

Needless to say our team performed professionally and tirelessly during the long festival hours and we are extremely proud of their efforts. Smashing out endless lines of delicious espressos and lattes to keep the fans jumping around till the wee hours of the morning. As well as helping the other stall holders stay awake during one of the craziest weeks we’ve seen in a while.

We’ve popped up a few photos of our setup for those of you who weren’t lucky enough to join us this year.

Change of coffee time

admin — Thu, 28 May 2009 17:38:23 +0000

As with wine, coffee has seasons, and supplies are always limited. As with most of our lineup, the time has come for some coffees to retire and make room for the new kids on the block.

Our Peru CEPICAFE is almost gone, to be replaced by another Peru co-operative.

We are temporarily sold out of Sumatra Mandheling, but don’t worry, the truck with the new coffees arrives next week.

We have a new coffee in the webshop and the cafe for you, Brazil – Daterra Monte Cristo, a fantastic coffee from the famous Daterra farm. We’ve also got a Guatemala – Antigua Los Volcanes on the truck.

In the mean time we have plenty of our other stock ready to roast and ship for you, so happy drinking!
