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.

In this issue, we're doing all things Christmas! From Safia Shakarchi's showstopping chocolate and espresso pavlova, to Tim Ridley's coffee, cognac and snacks pairing for the ultimate after-dinner treat. We are also bringing your our season's gift guide, including the must-haves for the coffee geek and stylista in your life.
