Absolutely loving my notebooks, such high quality and I know they're not going to fall apart when I chuck them in my bag or move them around my desk. Never going to WHS again for notebooks!
Thank you for the fantastic feedback on the quality! We designed our wirebound notebooks to be extra durable for exactly that reason – so they can be tossed in a bag without worry. We're so thrilled to be your new go-to for notebooks!
Love these little notebooks. These are the perfect size for me for travelling as I find it easier writing my itinerary in a small notepad. These are lightweight and will fit into my shoulder bag easily. Also love the bright colours too!
That's wonderful to hear! The Shots notebooks were designed to be the perfect lightweight travel companion, so we're so glad they're a great fit for your itinerary planning. It's fantastic that you're loving the bright 'Tutti Frutti' colours too!
Ordered some more of the notepads from the Beer series as we seem to use so many in our household. They arrived carefully wrapped. The finish on the paper is excellent and the covers are tasteful shades of brown through beige. Always a joy to use.
Thank you so much for being a repeat customer of our Beer Collection! It’s wonderful to hear they are a joy to use in your household. We put a lot of thought into the tasteful cover shades for that collection, so we're delighted you appreciate them.
Great for jotting down daily items "to do" that a diary would not be appropriate for. I keep mine handy on the coffee laptop table for ease of use. I use mine with a rollerball pen and the quality of the paper is perfect.
Thank you for the great review! The coffee table is the perfect home for our weekly planner. We worked hard on our paper so it could handle modern pens like rollerballs without issue, so we're thrilled it's working perfectly for you.
Lovely pad with room to title a project, make a list of wants, sketch ideas, and thick enough to continue on the other side without it leaking through. I also can show my sustainable side without shouting it from the rooftop.
Thank you for this fantastic and detailed feedback! That no-bleed-through paper is something we're very proud of, as it's key to making our recycled paper truly functional for creative work. 'Subtle sustainability' is the perfect way to describe our ethos!
Love these notebooks as they are good quality, easy to write on, and show my love of beer.
I was very glad to receive this planner as part of a giveaway otherwise I would have had to buy one, (the one on my desk is almost finished). these planners have enough space to take notes, make todo's on the day,and have space for little sketchs or doodles.
Having bought the monthly planner I was so taken with the quality of the paper that I bought some notebooks. When I say the Shot notebooks I jumped right in! To be honest if the Piccolo note books came in a set of plain paper rather than the lined and square, I would buy more!
Thank you so much for coming back for more after trying the planner! That's wonderful to hear. We've logged your feedback about plain paper Piccolos – that's exactly the kind of suggestion that helps us shape future collections.
I won this in a competition and my husband is using it now the quality is of a high standard and pages lovely and thick .Its even better that it’s using recycled products
That's wonderful to hear! We're so glad the prize went to a good home and that your husband is enjoying the notebook. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for a prize – we really appreciate you highlighting the quality and the importance of using recycled products.
Coffeenotes kindly responded to a specific order, courteous correspondence, patience and once order confirmed, delivery was very prompt, carefully packaged with compostable packaging. Sustainable UK product of a top standard. Thank you Coffeenotes
Thank you for such a kind and thoughtful review. We believe the care we put into our customer service and packaging is just as important as the quality of the products themselves. We're so happy you had a great experience from start to finish. Your support means the world to our team.
This is the third Coffeenotes weekly planner I've bought which speaks for itself. Love the quality of the paper and the layout of the pages - perfect for planning the week's meals and noting activities.
Thank you so much for your loyalty! Seeing customers come back time and again is the highest compliment we can receive. We're thrilled to hear that the layout and paper quality are a perfect fit for your weekly planning. Thanks again for being such a wonderful repeat customer.
Am very pleased with the quality of all the products I have recently purchased and at a very good price
Thank you so much! We're thrilled to hear you're pleased with the quality and value of your new stationery. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review.
This planner has been incredibly helpful. I use it for work and I already feel much more organised. The quality is really good as well.. I would not hesitate to recommend.
That's what we love to hear! It's fantastic that the planner is helping you feel more organised at work. Thank you for your kind words on the quality and for the recommendation.
I have been using this for portrait practice using primarily pencil. The paper surface is smoothish and pencil works well plus blending works well. If using an eraser I have found that a putty eraser words well, to tweak areas and add tone and shade. I have also used ink which works well on the paper with no bleed through, though it was in combination with light pencil marks underneath. I have yet to use watercolour paint or pencils but suspect would handle a light wash of colour.
The medio size sketchbook is great for using when on say a lap tray or held in hand or if you want to draw en plein as. Would fit in average size bag.
The main reason I decided to try these sketchbooks is the use of recycled coffee cups and was intrigued how they would be and so far work ok for what I need as a develop my drawing habit.
Thank you for such an incredibly detailed and thoughtful review of our Medio Sketchbook! This kind of in-depth feedback from an artist is invaluable to us and the community. We're so pleased that it's working well for your portrait practice with both pencil and ink, and it's fantastic to know that a putty eraser performs well on the paper. We hope you do get the the chance to try some light watercolours as the sketchbook is a great option for this. We really appreciate you taking a chance on our coffeecup paper and sharing your detailed experience.
Beautiful colour cover, lays flat like I like. Appreciate it being made of recycled materials. Yet to write in it, but paper seems decent quality
Thank you for sharing your first impressions! We're delighted you love the cover colour and the lay-flat design. We hope you have an equally great experience when you start writing in it. Thanks for appreciating the recycled materials!
I know I'm reviewing a notebook, but it feels like so much more important!
The notebook in the hand feels like a real, old-fashioned book - you know, the things we used to read far more than screens.
The sewn spine is gorgeous - it really makes you think about how things were - and sometimes are still - created. I personally love the seaweed inclusions on the cover too. I won't feel sorry when I've finished it, because that will mean I have the chance to look for more of the same.
The fact this stationery is made in Dorset is such a plus too. My ancestors came from Wiltshire & Hampshire, so pretty nearby, so it's extra special for me. :)
What an absolutely beautiful review. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. We're so moved to hear that our notebook evokes that 'real, old-fashioned book' feeling – that's something we truly aspire to! It's wonderful that the sewn spine and the unique materials resonated with you. Knowing you have a connection to the area makes it feel even more special for our Dorset-based team. We hope you enjoy every single page.
Bought this for my elderly mother for Mothers' Day, along with a List Pad for her shopping list. She really likes them both, and is using them to keep organised. Think I need to get some for myself now!
This is such a lovely story! We're so happy to hear your mother is enjoying her gifts and that they're helping her stay organised. Thank you for choosing us for such a special present. We hope you do treat yourself too.
Beautiful colours, can't wait to get using them
Gorgeous colour and great size
Exactly what I needed, very pleased
Wonderful! So glad to hear it was just what you were looking for. Be sure to see what colours we release for our 2026 Planner in the coming months.
Superb product. Great quality, beautifully wrapped. Would be a nice little gift.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're delighted you think so highly of the quality. We agree, they do make great gifts!
Nice cover. However, these aren’t stitched - just held together with staples. The paper’s not very smooth either. Disappointed.
Thank you for your review. We're sorry your Coffeenotes notebook didn't meet your expectations regarding binding and paper. We appreciate your feedback, even if seen a little later.
To clarify for others, our stitched notebooks are saddle stitched (with wire staples). If you're looking for an exposed thread sewn spine, please check our Layflat Notebooks.
Our paper has a natural 'tooth' specifically to prevent ink bleed-through and ensure it's versatile for various uses like sketching – a key feature for many of our users.
We're truly sorry these aspects caused disappointment. We'd love to understand more and find a Coffeenotes product that truly delights you. Please contact us directly through our website so we can help.

Perfect size to toss in pocket and for notes. Better than sticky notes and they are made from recycled material. They had a sale which made this purchase even better!
I love the colors and the fact these are made from recycled materials! Great to write in!!!!
