Whilst out and about, we have started to notice a growing trend amongst the independent coffee shops in London – the flat white. What is a ‘flat white’ you ask? We are trying to get the bottom of it and one man who seems to know his onions is David Dickinson (not the antiques expert), owner of Grind coffee bar in Putney.
David, originally from New Zealand, has just opened his coffee shop which he runs with his wife. When we popped round for a chat, David explained how to make a flat white; everything from grinding the beans, to steaming the milk to the perfect temperature and layering it into the right size cup.

science of the Flat White
There is a real coffee revolution going on in London, with a select crowd of independent coffee shops making their mark. As well as Grind, we highly recommend Dose, The Espresso Room, Taylor St. Baristas, Fix Coffee and Prufrock (home of World Barista of the Year, Gwilym Davies)
Other than fantastic coffee and passionate Baristas who know their latte macchiatos from their espresso romanos, all of these places now stock Peppersmith. If you want to taste some of the best Coffee in London and get to the bottom of what really makes a Flat White so great, swing by any of the above and don’t forget to pick up some Peppersmith gum for some natural post coffee refreshment.

Wake up and smell the coffee boys. We have been drinking flat whites in Australia since well before aqua adidas trackie pants with orange stripes were cool. Think of them as the real man’s latte…
Loving the website, and hear on the grapevine that the product is great. When are you planning to launch in the Southern Hemisphere?
