Coffee is one of the nation’s favourite drinks. It’s one of ours too.

Red Box Coffee: from Haymarket to the world

How do you build a concept for your business? Daniel Campbell had a red telephone box and experience in the catering industry. Add to that a strong desire to offer great products and customer service and you get a café for coffee lovers and foodies who value a personal touch.

Coffee yeasted bun, coffee ice cream, coffee jelly square, dehydrated orange

You could be forgiven for thinking that our obsession with coffee is a relatively recent thing. But our love of coffee dates back far further. Would you believe that the first coffee house in Edinburgh was opened in 1673? I was located just opposite what is now the Signet Library…

Greenshoots – a new coffee shop off Gorgie Road

Christopher Garvie June 16, 2015 April 25, 2017
Greenshoots_counter_through_teapot

Since this post was written, Greenshots has closed. C keeps telling me that this part of Gorgie Road is too far from the centre for her, but it has been my home for a number of years. We were therefore delighted at the opening of Greenshoots, a new café on Alexander…

Christopher Garvie December 4, 2014 December 4, 2014
Empty tasting cups littered the table when we left. Here, we're just getting started.

Caroline and I are becoming regulars on the early train to Glasgow. Last weekend we were heading to Glasgow’s to meet some friends at the first Scottish Coffee Festival. Coffee culture in Scotland has grown to such a degree in the past 10 years that there are two festivals in…

Today's lunch menu at Cairgorm Coffee

Following from the recent post on Brunstfield, my stroll around Edinburgh has now made it into the heart of the city.  The centre of Edinburgh is full of good places to rest your feet while sipping a tasty brew, therefore this list is not exhaustive but only contains a few…

Where can I get a good cup of coffee in Edinburgh? Collating a list of Edinburgh cafés

Christopher Garvie July 13, 2014 April 25, 2017
Coffee, served well, is a beautiful thing.

Oh, how the world has changed! Edinburgh is now a metropolis if not quite the continental European city it is drifting towards (a challenge with our weather!). Think back 20 years and Edinburgh’s tea and coffee shops were practically non-existent, limited to a few dingy spaces overly focused on tray…

Caroline von Schmalensee July 11, 2014 April 25, 2017
Red Box Coffee: from Haymarket to the world

Tea and gin might be having moments, but coffee is still many people’s favourite drink. It soothes or invigorates. If you’re looking for a bit of variety in your coffee, you could try Bean & Ground, a relatively new kid on the mail-order coffee block. (They’re offering our readers a…

Carte Noire has made a  range of espresso capsules that work with Nespresso* machines. I’ve got a Krups Nespresso Citiz, an easy to use machine that produces great coffee every time. When I saw a call for blogger to test and review Nespresso-compliant capsules from Carte Noire, I was intrigued…

Nespresso: learning about coffee their way

Caroline von Schmalensee November 29, 2013 April 25, 2017
Smelling, tasting and taking notes.

We have seven cafetières, a filter mug, a ROK espresso press and a mocha pot. If we want coffee, we have several ways of making it. Because all of these methods result in a certain amount of mess, we recently also got a Nespresso machine, with a milk heater on…

Red Box Coffee: from Haymarket to the world

Whilst I love “properly made” coffee, there are occasions when instant will do nicely. I’ve been drinking the same brand of coffee for oodles of years. In fact, I would rather not have coffee at all than drink other brands of coffee. So, it has been a very pleasant surprise…
