Held up by logistic problems fuelled by COVID and politics (Ethiopia was left without any communication channels for several weeks) our shipment which was expected to arrive early August has finally arrived! Whilst we have a few Ethiopian […]
ON THE NOSE
Play a game of hypotheticals with me. If you had to lose one of your five senses, or else be slapped across the face with a fish, which one would you choose? The wet fish probably, I’m no good at hypotheticals. But let’s say one of those senses had to go, or something very unpleasant […]
FIRST WAVE COFFEE
You know of the third wave, right? Yeah, you’re on it. But did you see the first two that came through before it? The ones that set you up for the sweet ride you’re on now? Come, pick up your board and ride the silky golden coffee waves back in space time. Splash around for […]
THE COMPOST POST
At a cafe I worked at a while back, we had a beautiful regular named Pat who, in exchange for our used coffee grounds, would bake us banana bread. She would thank us profusely for our generosity which we graciously accepted. Along with the banana bread. Pat loved her garden and would use the spent […]
NOVEMBER NEWS
Our NEW Compostable bags Whilst our first custom bag run didn’t quite go to plan let’s just say we have learnt some valuable lessons this month when it comes to designing and changing coffee packaging. We love the look and feel of our new bags! But it comes as a hard blow that they are […]
FIKAPAUS! OKTOBER EDITION
FIKAPAUS! OKTOBER EDITION Oh hej! Välkommen to spring and our flowery spring edition of fikapaus. It’s the season of fresh starts and new beginnings, appreciating all that winter was with its rugs, mugs and uggs, hibernating and recuperating – but now we are ready to break out of our snug cocoon of comfort, feel the […]
COFFEE OF THE MONTH
WHAT’S JESS DRINKING THIS MONTH? My pick for this month is a special coffee from Honduras. As an espresso it is bright and vibrant! Imagine a wicker basket overflowing with cherries, flowers, orange, peach, strawberries and lime and your on your way to imagining how it feels to drink this coffee. Whilst roasted for […]
BMR OCTOBER NEWS!

We’ve had the warehouse professionally cleaned to remove all the dust and yuk, and have since started painting the rafters black […]
THE EXCITING FUTURE OF YOUR LOCAL
THE EXCITING FUTURE OF YOUR LOCAL There aren’t many times in our life that we know, as it’s happening, that everything is changing, will change, and the long term effects are unknown. This is most definitely one of those. It’s a time you know the generations to come will learn about in history, political studies, […]
Everything you know about taste is wrong!
EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT TASTE IS WRONG Just kidding. You probably know quite a bit, but the title ‘Making Sense of Coffee’ wasn’t working. I’m not a dad and have no place making puns like that. I’m currently reading Bill Bryson’s ‘The Body’. It dives into the pop science of all our bits and pieces, […]
What’s Happening at Black Market?
OUR NEW WAREHOUSE The BIG news is that we have a new warehouse! The site is 420m2 and will allow us to finally bring everything under one roof. Whilst it’s a big empty space at the moment we love the vibe in here. It has lots of natural light, nice double height ceilings in the […]
Reflecting on the Challenges of Latte Art
Do you remember when you poured your first fire breathing dragon flying over the oriental mountains under a starry sky from nothing but the most perfectly textured milk? Yeah me neither. But I do remember as a young Padawan barista the slow arduous journey of latte art. It’s a long way from dumping that frothy […]
