Meet our friend Emmy. A ridiculously talented florist and creative, Emmy Bloom had the bright idea to create a Mother’s Day Flower Box with us.

On a sunny day in Mile End, we were treated to a first hand floristry workshop between Emmy and her son Noah. Below, Emmy talks us through obsession, juggling, floral style and the magic of receiving flowers.

In a greasy spoon a stone’s throw away from our roastery, we had a chance to natter with Pryandi, co-owner of Commons London. Over a fry up and a cup of builder’s tea, we got to fire our usual brand of incoherent questions at him and were thrilled with his responses.

In sub-zero conditions, Rosie popped into the roastery to allow us to take her pic and mine her with incoherent questions. Because she’s an all round gem, she agreed.

We have long graced the halls of Batch Baby and wound up both staff and customers alike by having the loudest, most random conversations with Tom & Saskia. This interview may be a true reflection of what popping into their Hacknew coffee shop is like.

In the hallowed Princess of Wales in Clapton, we sat down with Jamie to have an unstructured chat. Pub chosen by his dog (Cloudy), Guiness chosen by Jamie, questions chosen by us.

Anyone who has spent any length of time with Mel will be acutely aware of the fact that she is so much more than merely an Aeropress Champion. But the title is kind of cool.
