Caffeine – Volume 36

Caffeine is a magazine championing independent and speciality coffee in the UK and abroad. Riding the “third wave” of the coffee industry, we aim to entertain and inform our readers about their daily cup of Joe. Be it espresso, filter, V60, syphon or humble French press (aka the cafetière), we want to make your home coffee experience as good as the one in your favourite coffee shop, and to share news, views and developments on the coffee scene.

What's Christmas without a celebratory tipple? In this issue, we showcase the best coffee liqueurs on the market. From classics to creative concoctions, Tim Ridley's boozy feature will leave you wanting to indulge. We also delve into the world of caffeinated skincare, with our editorial assistant Erin discussing five excellent coffee scrubs and why they should be on your bathroom shelf, on page 12. As it is the season of giving, it is only right that we share what we would love to find under our Christmas trees this year- on page 28, we bring your our ultimate gift guide for coffee-lovers. With 2019 just around the corner, our editor Phil speaks to experts in the industry what they think the future holds for the coffee industry.
