Good luck.

What sort of coffee will you serve, and how will you serve it? Sorry for being a pedant, I've become a bit of a coffee snob and tire of people selling stewed gravy stuff as "fresh coffee"! However, good luck to you.

According to their website they'll be serving "high quality freshly ground coffee from their award winning Fracino espresso machine".

All the best guys - I'm nearly tempted to start using ED station rather than Peckham Rye..

[thelittlecoffeevan]

We'll be selling freshly roasted, ethically sourced, blended coffee from Honduras, Costa Rica and India. It's 100% Arabica beans. We've selected it because it's smooth but full bodied and works well with or without milk.

We'll be grinding the beans in small batches throughout the day so the coffee's always fresh (there's a grinder on the van).

Also, we'll check with each customer if they prefer a single or a double shot of coffee so we can personalise the drinks to each individual's taste.

not too much froth on the cappucinos. I hate that, half a cup of hot air with a dribble of bitter, too strong, too hot coffee at the bottom.

[Tatty Mum]

Really good luck - I've thought for years that this would be a good idea

[Muttley]

...and when you've established yourselves, you can move into the long vacant retail space across the road at GV15. They're probably desperate for offers by now. They might even pay you to move in.

[SimonM]

Sounds like a good place to grab a coffee after doing Sainsbury's....

[Pierre]

There shouldn't be any "froth" on a cappucino. It should be stiff even steamed milk...

[Dulwich_ Park_ Fairy]

Anything involving bacon?

[hoser]

Coincides nicely with the demise of the coffee machine at my work.

[Asset]

it should be Pierre, but rarely is. Too much stiff steamed milk is a pain too though.

[ziggy]

Good luck -I'll be one of your first customers!

[candj]

What a great idea. Best of luck with the business.

[Ladygooner]

Great news - how much for a cappucino?

[thelittlecoffeevan]

To Dulwich_Park_Fairy,

Sorry - no room for a cooker so no bacon butties! We will however be stocking a range of "cheekies" - muffins, cookies, croissants, pains au chocolat.

We'll also have bottled smoothies and water.

Cheers

[Vik]

Best of luck to you!:))

Great to hear all your comments about how you like your coffees. It just shows what a subjective thing it is - please keep the feedback coming!

As I mentioned, we'll always ask whether you prefer a single or double shot of cofffee, but please tell us when you order your drink if you like it a certain way - e.g. a dry cappuccino (more frothed milk, less steamed milk).

[AcedOut]

Great idea. The place at Peckham Rye sells dreadful coffee. I'm sure you guys will do really well.

Do you sell English Tea and Muffins,as well?

[Keef]

Nice to see someone trying this, and very best of luck to you! I suspect you'll do very well!

[MadWorld74]

Christ! it sounds great. I hope though that you don't put The Blackbird Bakery out of business as their coffee is damn fine. But wish you all the best!

Yes, we're stocking a selection of Twinings tea (English Breakfast, Earl Grey, Green, Peppermint, Camomile) and will add others if there's a demand.

We have Muffinloafs, which are hand mixed muffins, baked in a rectangular case (we hope they'll be less messy to eat standing up/on the train!). Just 2 varieties to start with - chocolate and lemon.
