We’ve never really advertised as a business. It’s mostly been word of mouth and me on socials. About to change that. Not sure if it’s traditional advertising but we’re going to be supporting/partnering with some people who are doing some really good things that I like personally. More to follow etc

Need coffee this week? We're good at roasting it. Our business is also more than just selling coffee for profit. We'll give up 4% of all our earnings this year as I think it's a good thing to do. It's a model where everyone benefits. AND WE'VE A NEW SITE THAT NOW WORKS PROPERLY! imbibe.ie/pages/shop

My twins have reached an age where I’m starting to slowly get back into the things I used to really enjoy before they were born. Reading was very much one of those things. This is excellent.

9th of October @Whelans, My good self, Nina Hynes , Brian Brannigan [A Lazarus Soul] Alice Jago & special guest . In aid of The Stay Human Collective 🇵🇸 .

Text from a customer this morning upset by a 1 star review. Looking at comment I'd guess it was by a competitor. Even if genuine, Google reviews are often left without thinking of consequences. We all have off days but try seeing if problem can be remedied at time and not by the internet.

Today I shall mostly be drinking this and listening to Bar Italia.

Journalism used to be the bread on which daily advertising jam was delivered. The Internet broke this old financial model for delivering ads to consumers via traditional media (newspapers, tv, radio) and digital delivery isn’t working as well. Now journalism AND fridges are in trouble. Is my theory.

Call this shit out immediately and shut it the fuck down. Show them that we don't operate on the US/UK rules where you can say any old bollocks without consequences. It's the only thing that will stop them getting a foothold.

Looking forward to a nice weekend? Nisreen, Mohammed and their children will be spending the weekend setting up their tent on a patch of land after fleeing Gaza City. The cost to transport a family south was $1,000 plus $300 for a new tent. Please donate and share widely. gofund.me/8a4bbeef3

After much frustration around payments, we're finally moving our site to new platform today. Thanks to all who persisted! Change will happen around 4 today and site will be down for a little bit during the process. Big thanks to @mneylon.social 's Black Night for their brilliant customer service.

Was late listening to The Guardian's latest Football Weekly podcast. Wasn't expecting an interview with Zohran Mamdani. Turns out he's a genuine Arsenal fan. Wasn't aware (but unsurprised), FIFA are introducing dynamic pricing for the next World Cup. Infantino makes Blatter look principled.

Depressing to see numbers for the "Unite the Kingdom" rally in the UK who are quickly following the US in their road to ruination and hatE. Mass poverty leads to easy manipulation. Othering is made easy. Increasing wealth gaps will only make this worse. The joke that's Starmer isn't helpful either.

Just got an email from a coffee "magazine" congratulating us on being selected in their curated edition for best coffee beans in Iceland... :)

That feeling when I’ve just remembered to put in my @imbibecoffee.bsky.social order as you’ve just ran out of current batch on a Friday morning

Will never stop being amazed and grateful that my colleagues remember my birthday and always get me the nicest of gifts.

Bookmarking for the next time some no-nothing wanker starts banging on about how the pedestrianisation of Capel St is ruining the street and how in the past it was an oasis of peace and love and cheerful salt of the earth types

Remarkable achievement of capitalism that scrapping wealth tax is "populist" and an election issue. Norway's 1 of 3 European countries that taxes capital. Arguable thresholds should be higher but less well off arguing against it is in opposition to their interests www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

This year we'll give up 4% of all our revenue. 1% goes to staff on top of salary and bonus. 3% to good causes. It's viable and everyone does well. It's not marketing. It's an attempt to show what is currently accepted as necessary for globocorps to survive is nonsense. If you need coffee imbibe.ie

BREAKING: Reverend Sue Parfitt, 83, was just arrested under the Terrorism Act again, for a sign which said "I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action" Early this week she said: "Palestine Action are not a terrorist organisation. They damaged weapons used on Palestinians."

Today I shall mostly be drinking this and listening to Ryan Davis and the Roadhouse Band.

"The average age of those arrested at the August rally was 54, and the most arrests - 147 of them - were of people aged between 60 and 69" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Pulled the house apart today looking for my glasses. Found them in the fridge.

Went for a pre gig kebab to Chiya on Dame Street last night. They’ve elevated an already strong kebab scene in Dublin and have done it consistently. Best value meal in town at €9.90. One day I hope to be able to manage chips with it too. Baby steps.

Didn’t know who Ryan Davis and The Roadhouse Band were until two weeks ago. Haven’t stopped listening to them since. Will def be my album of the year. Huge thanks as ever to @foggynotions.bsky.social for bringing them to The Workman’s. Brilliant gig.

We need to talk about the way Irish presidential elections create a space where unsuitable candidates with no chance of a nomination, let alone the Áras itself, get access to airtime/coverage that is not available to real, elected politicians doing valuable but slightly complex/dull work.

There is no moral justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth. It is distorting politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Closing our staggering wealth gap is crucial to the survival of our economy and our democracy.

Staff member leaving us in 9 days after almost years. He roasted, packed, did deliveries and everything in between. One hardest workers I’ll ever meet and a pleasure to be around. He’s on his way back to Poland after 20 years here due in the main to rents in this country. Shit on so many levels.

Today I shall mostly be drinking this and listening to Water From Your Eyes.

We send few orders to the US (maybe 25 a year). That will now be none. Obviously won't be very impactful for us but could be for some. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/b...

Fact check: True! $TSLAQ

New coffee/music collaboration with The Scratch for their next two gigs. Proceeds from first 50 will go towards their friend Adam's stem cell research. Proceeds from second 50 go towards a family they're supporting in Gaza. More details here www.instagram.com/p/DN1GtkfRDi... #speirgorm

This was a fun thing to do. We’ve something quite similar happening very soon.

The graph/pricing for bitcoin has been more stable than that of coffee over the last nine months. After all time highs were reached prices did recede somewhat but are now on an upward trajectory again. Standard fundamentals for price are no longer making any sense.

This year we'll give: 1% of all we earn to staff on top of salary/bonus. 1% to @womensaidireland.bsky.social 1% to fund a bridge building program at co-op we buy from in Colombia. 5 x €2,500 grants to local projects. We roast coffee very well. Business can be different. imbibe.ie/shop/

I have posted this already, but dammit, I am posting it again. I salute you, sir.

Journalists - if you are going to report or repeat Israel's statement that one of the Al Jazeera journalists it murdered overnight was a Hamas leader, please outline for readers, viewers and listeners how you verified their claim before presenting it to your audience.

New record price for a kilo of green coffee. A Dubai based roastery (of course), has paid $30,204. No surprise the coffee is from Panama. It’s the origin that always holds/breaks the record. The coffee is a washed Geisha coffee from the very famous Hacienda La Esmeralda. This is frankly amoral.

Following a euphoric performance at All Together Now Festival in Waterford the great John Grant returns to a city where he is beloved amongst fans to play the National Stadium in Dublin for the first time on Saturday October 4th Support is from Lynx. www.ticketmaster.ie/john-grant-d...

Every other week a cucumber appears in the fridge. It stays until starts to go off at which point I throw it in the bin. I've been asked to stop bringing up cucumbers. This is not a passive aggressive post...

Is this the best manual grinder in the world right now, all things considered (price, build quality, output, range, multipurpose use, features, etc?) Find out what we think about the X-Ultra grinder from 1Zpresso, in a First Look, coming soon to CoffeeGeek. #coffeefeed #espressofeed

I checked again this morning. ChatGPT still tells you to ask for less if you are female.

What if there were a law that if yout property was on the derelict sites register you couldn't rent out a wall to an advertising company to put a billboard on? Maybe that would increase the incentive to fix it up rather than just earn an income from advertising on a pile of shit for years?

We give up 3.5% of any money you spend us. It's a fundamental part of our business model. In addition to this, we're giving 10% of all you spend to @womensaidireland.bsky.social until midnight tonight. #speirgorm imbibe.ie/shop/

As I no longer vape, don’t have tattoos and am not in need of a phone case, about 88.5% of shops in the city centre are now pointless for me.

This past week, the 79-year-old president announced he’s ended six wars (some that have been going on for centuries), asserted that windmills drive whales insane, called for Beyoncé to be prosecuted, claimed Obama committed treason and complained a convicted pedophile “stole” teenage girls from him.

Buy the world's gaudiest house. Tacky as F for a mere $25M. Brooklyn still so edgy... www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/r...

This is a billionaire-funded Tony Blair lobbying project being funnelled unchallenged onto the front page of a national newspaper. 1/
