Photo not representative of the weather but we’re all a lot less stressed since we changed our courier service to An Post. It’s saved us hours per week in phone calls. My colleagues are in a happier place and all our deliveries are now done in electric vans including ones we do ourselves!

I plan to read a lot more in 2026. Read my first Jon Fosse novel toward end of last year. Loved it but hard to put into works why. Picked up another of his books and @ronanhession.bsky.social puts it perfectly.

Black swan at Retiro Park, Madrid.

Retiro Park in Madrid. You couldn’t have an avenue this wide in Ireland without putting at least 4 lanes of cars on it.

Put a basketball hoop and backboard up in the roastery yard. Productivity nether increased nor went down. We have however all gotten better at basketball.

Noise cancelling headphones on. Hour to myself. Lovely.

Gave me a bit of a chuckle when I opened the post.

Saw this photo in 2019. It's from a Colombian co-op we buy coffee from. Shows kids crossing a river by tree trunk to get to school. My kids were about same age at time and brought home fluke of birth to me. We funded a bridge here and have done 3 more since. 1% of all our sales are committed to this

In 2024 we gave up 3.5% of our revenue. This year it'll be 4%. To get there we added some €2,500 grants for "local" projects. Things I like that act as forces for good. One of these is @dublininquirer.com . If you can, please subscribe. They do fantastic things. www.dublininquirer.com/membership/

Found this difficult to read it first as the sentence structures are mad. Having gotten into it however, it’s superb. Unrelentingly bleak but funny at the same time.

This is the third v60 I’ve bought over the space of about 17 years. I’d take this plastic cone that costs under €10 over an espresso machine costing thousands every day of the week.

This is my 6th year posting this same message. Black Friday is a nonsense with often pretend discounts on stuff you probably don’t need. We’ll do as we always do at this time and increase the 1% of all income we give to Women’s Aid to 10% on web sales over the weekend. Fuck Black Friday. #speirgorm

Was out of work 17 years ago, watched a documentary about coffee farmers and trade unions and decided to start a coffee business. It was a big struggle for a long time. Really grateful we got mentioned yesterday in Irish Times 50 great brands. Never underestimate timing, dumb luck and persistence.

From no media mentions to two in two days. This was also very nice. #speirgrom

I will never again share news space with My Bloody Valentine so this was nice. The new @foggynotions.bsky.social membership that’s mentioned is very much worth your time if you’re fan of live music and want to support independent promoters. #speirgorm

While we generally keep our ‘story’ updated on Instagram, It’s been about two months since our last post. I write said posts so I’ve been given a friendly nudge. Prep underway for tomorrow…
