[...] Penny University Brew coffee bar, £3pp This place is amazing, it doubles as a retail space for Square Mile Roasters, but it is also London’s first ‘brew bar’. No milk (well there is, hidden away) and the concept is that of the barista taking time to make a fresh brew (with nothing but hot water, a preferred brewing apparatus and a timer) and basically to appreciate coffee in its original splendour. It’s a great concept, currently just a pop-up but if we keep going, it might become permanent. So keep going. Seriously this place is awesome, it is a different sort of coffee appreciation which is rarely found in London, though brew coffee is on the rise2. Speaking of which, the name is a homage the the hundreds (if not thousands) of coffee shops in 18th century London (particularly the Square Mile). The idea was of strangers sipping coffee and striking up cerebrally random conversations about the heavens, politics and anything in between, all part of the experience of a ‘penny university’ which was all the rage in those days. Intrigued? Read this excellent photo essay by Brian Ferry3 as well as Daniel Young’s thoughtfully informative piece4 for two takes on this concept. [...]

Hey Guys,

Great set up, and fantastic coffee. I stopped by for a lovely drink (that I don’t remember the name of but it was served via a V60) on Saturday. I really like the personal and intimate service, and I can see you gaining a lot more popularity as a result.

Thanks for making great coffee in the UK so strong!
