About Sl.ow Cofee - A Moment to Pause
Why Slow?
Slow Coffee Roasters was born from something simple—using coffee as a way to slow down.
For our founder, Sam Dakin (OLY), slowing down wasn’t a luxury; it was a necessity. He is currently still competing and after making himself a double Olympian at Paris 2024 he's learnt a thing or two about what it takes to be great. In the years of competing at the highest level in Olympic track sprint cycling, Sam found himself struggling with his mental health. The pressure, the pursuit of perfection, the never-ending cycle of go, go, go—it took a toll. Along with his Sports Psychologists he explored ways of being more present....
Then came coffee. Not just for the caffeine, but for the process. Grinding the beans, pouring the water, watching the coffee bloom—it was a ritual that forced him to pause. To breathe. To be where his feet were.
Slow is more than a coffee company. It’s a mindset. A reminder that some of life’s best moments happen when we’re not rushing to the next thing. The full stop is the middle of our logo represent exactly that. A point in which we stop to take in what's around us.
We wholeheartedly agree with this ethos here at The Sunday Society - after all, we are ourselves named for that slowest day of the week, the day that we pause to spend time doing what we love with the ones we love so it only made sense to welcome Sl.ow to our shelves.

For Home Baristas (Breville-Style Machine)
You don’t need a café setup to make great espresso—just a few key steps to get the most out of your Seasonal Espresso.
- Grind & Dose – Use your machine’s built-in grinder and aim for a fine grind.
- Tamp Evenly – Apply firm, even pressure to ensure a level surface.
- Brew Time for black coffee – Press the double shot button. Aim for a 25-30 second extraction (if it runs too fast, make your grind finer; if it’s too slow, go coarser).
- Brew Time for white coffee – Press the single shot button. Aim for a 20-22 second extraction (if it runs too fast, make your grind finer; if it’s too slow, go coarser).
- Yield – You should get around 36g of espresso (about a double shot) for black and around 22g for white
- Taste & Adjust – If it’s too sour, try a finer grind; if it’s too bitter, try a coarser grind or reduce the dose slightly.
Pair with milk for a smooth, balanced flat white or enjoy black to appreciate the espresso’s natural sweetness
