St Ives Parcel

A lovely batch of colourful bags off to St Ives. And the best bit? We're going with them! 

Dr Bean will be away from the sewing machine . . . for a while.

Dr Bean arrives in Cowes

We've been rather busy on the coffee front recently. We attended the lovely Old Gaffers Festival, in Yarmouth, which was as popular as always - plenty of coffee and a large amount of afternoon tea, served up in style by Doug.
The other news is that we now have a permanent home in Cowes - situated within the PHG store at the bottom of Market Hill. This is going really well and we are settling in to the unusual arrangement of making coffee indoors. Another plus is that we are using the locally produced 'Island Roasted' Coffee - thanks Dan!

Dawn, the owner of the aforementioned PHG also sells Dr Bean's Bags, so for the first time ever, the two sides of the business are seen together!

Dr Bean goes to town

We went to the London Coffee Festival. It was fab. And very beard-y.

It was good to meet some friendly locals to discuss some new projects and absorb all the best coffee (and tea) related goodies at the show. It's well worth a visit, especially if you have a beard.

Bestival 2013

Another Bestival has come and gone. Dr Bean provided many Coffees, Teas and Tunnocks Tea Cakes to the happy-festival-goers in the Tomorrow's World field, which as always, is definitely the best field to be in.
As you can see, we embraced the HMS Bestival nautical theme.

Cowes Week 2013

The end of a busy week, of mostly fine weather, on the Parade for Cowes Week. Friday evening finale with the Red Arrows and fireworks - what's not to like? And by the way, we have been serving Coffee, not Offee.

IOW Chilli Fiesta

Dr Bean's spent the weekend at the IOW Chilli Fiesta, held at Smallbrook Stadium. The predicted rain didn't really arrive and both days were hot and sunny as well as being hot from chilli tasting. We sold a lot of water alongside our rather nice iced coffees.

It's great to see new events starting up and there are already plans for it to take place again next year.

One year ago. . .

A whole year ago, the Olympics was just about to start. Where did that time go?
