How to care for your Coffeenotes products to keep them looking beautiful
Coffeenotes products are produced as sustainably as possible, with minimum use of ink and glue and no plastic wrapping or laminates.
We use premium quality papers and boards for our covers, but these will mark and scuff with use. We see this as part of their charm but to minimise marking, extra care should be taken when packing products in a bag.
Our notepads are designed to be tear-off products, but the pages and backboards will become detached if they are handled roughly.
Many of our products are hand finished and as such there will be slight variations.

I absolutely adore my lay-flat journal and it does exactly what it boasts which means my long search for a left-handed friendly notebook which reduces smudging is over! Paired with quick drying pens which are well handled by the paper, I am back to regular journal practice and get so much comfort from the warm colour and feel of the high quality paper, it really is an investment into a key part of my mental wellness! I will not get a journal from anywhere else now I have had one week of journaling perfection!
This is fantastic to hear! We designed the lay-flat binding specifically to make writing effortless for everyone. Left-handers love this binding exactly as you said. We are so glad it has helped you get back into your regular journaling practice.
Love the paper quality it’s thickness with ink pens, I expected it to the rougher and uneven it’s much smoother, the layout on each page - planners, notebooks etc - has been thought about - the details are faint and don’t dominate the pages. All products are exceptional well made and feel high-end stationary not ‘ex coffee cup trash’!! I love the concept, I shall be going nowhere else for my notebooks and planners
Thank you so much for your kind words. We put a lot of time into the design and manufacturing of our products to take them from the used coffee cups to the finished stationery. The lines and dots we use on the pages are intentioanly light to be a helpful guide but not get in the way of your work.
I was desperately looking for a notebook in which to write with my fountain pen, and I finally found it with this CoffeeNotes! The writing feeling is amazing, and the layflat function is actually so useful, I just did not now I wanted it before using it!
I really enjoy this notebook, and I recommend!
That's wonderful to hear! We worked hard to ensure our coffeecup paper is perfect for fountain pens. We love that you discovered the magic of the lay-flat binding—it's one of those features you don't know you need until you have it!
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.
