Coffee has always been more than a drink. It’s the ritual of grinding beans in the morning, the steam rising from a French press, the hiss of an espresso machine, or the clink of a spoon in a mug. At The Analogue Press, coffee is one of our foundational anchors: it provides the comfort to sit, the company to linger, and the conversation to carry on. We are starting online with a wink at the irony of writing about analogue culture on screens, but our long-term vision is physical. We imagine an oak bar lined with iron rail, shelves of mugs, and the background hum of people who came for coffee but stayed for something more. In this space, we’ll explore what makes coffee culture tactile; brewing methods, cafe rituals, recipes, and the parallels it has to other analogue pursuits.
