It is especially after a busy day, with a bit of caffeine in your stream, that your mind is racing and you start to think of all the possibilities and 'what if we did this?' scenarios. Or at 3 am when you can't sleep.
Music has always been a big part of my own life, and it is very, very important to the feel and atmosphere of Kaffeine. We make playlists that play all day on our Ipods, basically DJ sets that go with the flow of the day. Of course, house, breaks, funk, soul, hip hop and electronic music is a big part of this and we are very proud of the music that we play. It's important for the customers, but also important for the staff who work here every day and listen to it all the time. It helps to motivate, to encourage, to make them smile and possibly even dance a little bit and to make the working day even more pleasant and fun.
Current and previous staff have shown an affection for music, some more than others including former lead barista James 'Obi Wan' Broadhurst and Justin 'Cool Hand' Luchterhand who also set up playlists for the Ipod from their own collections.
So when I approached our current staff with the idea of having a party, they were shall we say, a little bit excited.
Therefore, the idea for a London Coffee party was conceived. Of course it could have been just the 13 of us at The Social tonight, dancing around our handbags, but no, we have over 150 people from the London Coffee Scene and a few friends as well, coming along.
Staff from Taylor Street Baristas, Square Mile Roasters, Workshop Coffee, Artisan Coffee, Climpsons and Sons, Terrone Coffee, Prufrock Coffee, Dose Espresso, The Goods Yard and many others will be drinking and dancing all night long. What a great opportunity for London Coffee people to relax and have some fun.
Set Times are:
Funk, Disco and Soul
Billy 'The Kid' Tahtis from former legend cafe Taste of Bitter Love - 7 pm to 9 pm
House
Matt Craig - 9 pm to 11 pm
Matt Grey - 11 pm to 1 am
The boys may mix it up a bit and have a bit of back to back, we will see.
I very much wish that old schools staff such as Justin, James, Amy, Missy, Sam, Big Nick, Ashlea, Matthew and others were here for the party. We will think of you tonight, cos we miss you.
This is the first party of it's kind. After the success of the London Latte Art Challenge, we hope that this will be a success too and we can have many more.
Drinking, dancing, good times. What more can you ask for?
