This week sees the London Design Festival roll into town and Kaffeine is playing a small part, in that we are one of the pit stops on the Fitzrovia Design Trail.
Next Wednesday is the biggest day with many of the leading furniture design showrooms in the area opening for events throughout the day and the evening.
One of the most exciting parts of this process has been the planning stage, where a number of local businesses led by Minotti Furniture and Together Brand Design have held meetings to organise everyone to get together with a map, postcards and a prize draw based on the concept of Fitzrovia Now.
Maps are available in store now, and the concept is really about discovering Fitzrovia for the hidden gem of fashion, galleries, dining and showrooms that it is.
On Wednesday, specially designed keys will be available in selected stores including Kaffeine and you can go into those stores, collect a stamp and once you have filled in your key with stamps, you can go into a prize draw for some really cool prizes donated by some of our local companies.
And so here's to the power of a group of independent stores, getting together to promote their special part of London. And to great design.

Week beginning September 12th - Home brewing classes
Our lead barista Catherine has now started teaching home brewing classes at Kaffeine, which is a great opportunity for you to be able to see a variety of different ways to make your coffee at home, but not by using an espresso machine.
Over a one hour session, she covers syphon, V60 pour over, French press and stove top, showcasing each different brew method, preceded by some theory about coffee and the processes involved.
Sessions are just £20, and you have the opportunity to buy equipment here at Kaffeine as well to be able to take home.
If you are at all interested in learning how to make better coffee at home, then these classes are for you.
Because then you can truly ask the question. If I promise to make you good coffee, will you love me forever?
Bookings are made through the Kaffeine website - Coffee Courses, or ask in store.
Let's get making coffee!

Week beginning - September 5th
Goodness, it's been all happening this week, here is a quick run down.
We are looking for a new barista to replace the amazing Krysty who has been with us for over a year and definitely achieved Kaffeine legend status, she will be forever remembered as a superstar. Luckily for us she has moved on to another cafe called Department of Coffee and Social Affairs in Leather lane, so we now we can still go to see her.
We are also looking at a new POS system that works on an iPad called Isisipos. Bea from Beas of Bloomsbury put us onto it via Twitter and we hope to have it up and running by end of next week. Goodbye PC based cash registers!!! Hellloooo Apple.
We are also in talks with Belinda from Clerkenwell Chocolate, who will be supplying us with her home made truffles later this year, they are truly amazing and we are very fortunate to be able to sell her chocolates here at Kaffeine.
We are soon to be trialling a new QR code based feedback system, where customers will be able to provide feedback to us, leave comments and join our facebook and twitter groups, all pretty much instantly. Brilliant. Goodbye stupid feedback forms.
Then we also have our brunch menu. After a few weeks trial we have settled on some great options for brunch including home made baked bean casserole on kumara toast, or a breakfast foccacia with sliced cotechino sausage, gruyere and a fried egg, or pear and ale bread with marscapone and peche de vigne syrup. Amazing.
Finally we have our guest espresso weekends. This weekend it is the famous Melbourne based cafe, now here in London, St Ali, and their Cult of Done espresso.
Can anything else happen in just one week? Well yes, we were interviewed to be a part of a feature in the incredible Fire and Knives publication, and we were photographed for inclusion in a book on London cafes coming out in December called Cafe Life.
Phew.
