The 1989 Espresso – 227g Packet of Heritage Collection Ground Coffee

The 1989 Espresso Ground Coffee Backstory

In 1989 history turned a page with a force felt across continents. The Berlin Wall, a symbol of separation for a generation, finally opened. Families were reunited. Nations breathed freely. Europe began to heal. The world witnessed the triumph of courage, unity, and the unshakeable human desire for freedom.

If that were not enough, in that same year another quiet revolution began in a laboratory at CERN. A Briton named Tim Berners Lee conceived the foundations of the modern web. He did not simply write a new kind of code. He created a new kind of world, a world of connection, communication, and possibility.

With warmth in our hearts, we have recreated our 1989 Espresso to celebrate the spirit of the eighties with one of the smoothest and most effortlessly enjoyable coffees in our history. This recipe is a closely guarded treasure, and with one hundred years of coffee making behind us we can say that this addition to your collection is not altered and not modernised.
