A space where coffee, craft, and community come together. Here you’ll find stories from behind the roaster, reflections on flavour, and glimpses of life in the Highlands.

We write about what matters to us: the rhythm of roasting each Monday at Woodyknowe, the people and places that shape our coffee journey, and the small rituals that make a cup feel special. Sometimes it’s practical, like brewing guides and kit tips. Other times it’s more personal, sharing the challenges of moving north, setting up a micro-roastery, or the joy of discovering a remarkable lot from halfway around the world.

Every post is rooted in curiosity and care — for the beans, the planet, and the people who share in this adventure. Whether you’re a seasoned coffee explorer or simply love a thoughtful read with your morning cup, we hope these stories bring you closer to the heart of What’s Bean Grinding.
