Let’s be honest, Mondays are tough. The alarm feels earlier than usual, the to-do list feels longer, and the weekend feels a world away. But for me, the cure is simple and always hits the spot... A decent cup of coffee!

Whether you need comfort, energy, or just something indulgent, here are a few of my favourite coffee recipes to help you beat the Monday blues, using some of our signature blends.

1. Mocha Jet Boost

Made with Jumbo Jet Espresso

Rich, bold, and a little sweetness, this is my go-to for grey Mondays when I need caffeine and chocolate in equal measure!

You’ll need:

• Double shot of Jumbo Jet Espresso
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1 tsp brown sugar or honey (optional)
• 200ml steamed milk
• Dark chocolate shavings (for extra mood boost)

Method:
Brew your espresso. In a small jug, whisk the cocoa and sugar with a splash of hot milk until smooth. Add your espresso, top with the rest of the steamed milk, and sprinkle with chocolate.

2. Sunshine Iced Coffee

Made with Blackbird Blend

Refreshing, quick, and perfect for a burst of energy, this iced coffee is perfect for those summer months, and you can whip it up in a few minutes!

You’ll need:

• Double shot of Blackbird Blend espresso
• 1 tsp sugar (optional)
• Ice
• Oat milk or regular milk
• Dash of vanilla extract (optional)

Method:
Brew your espresso and stir in the sugar while it’s hot. Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the espresso over it. Add your desired amount of milk and vanilla to taste. Stir and enjoy as the ice chills it into something sweet, smooth and full of energy!

3. Honey Cappuccino

Made with Concorde Cappuccino

Gentle sweetness and a creamy texture, this one’s like a hug in a cup.

You’ll need:

• Single shot of Concorde Cappuccino
• 150ml frothed milk
• 1 tsp honey
• A dusting of cinnamon (to taste)

Method:
Brew your espresso and stir in the honey. Gently top with frothed milk and finish with cinnamon. Great with freshly buttered toast, or even better - a warm croissant!

Dreamliner Decaf Affogato

Made with Dreamliner Decaf

Because sometimes the Monday blues hit in the evening too - This is dessert and coffee in one! Super easy to make, and no caffeine to stop you sleeping

You’ll need:

• 1 scoop of good quality vanilla ice cream
• 1 single shot of Dreamliner Decaf, freshly brewed

Method:
Pour the hot decaf espresso over the ice cream. Let it melt just slightly. Eat with a spoon or sip it like a float - Either way, instant Monday blues cure!
