Love this ink so much that it will be a staple in my collection

Love this ink so much that it will be a staple in my collection. I love smelling the coffee while I am writing in my planner and journal for the day.

Splendid Ink!

A beautiful color and a truly rich coffee scent. Something specific the other comments didn't mention is that while writing with the ink it is more reminiscent of an espresso martini due to the sweetness of the scent until it settles to a coffee scent on the paper, which I truly enjoy.
The only reason it is 4/5 is because for someone like myself who has a lighter writing load the ink tends to dry on the nib faster than my other normal inks and requires revitalization after a day or two of not using it.

I do recommend this ink whole-heartedly for coffee and espresso martini lovers especially!

AMAZING

AMAZING ink!

Better after it dries

My wife and I were both struck by the strength of the scent when I first opened the bottle. In such concentration, it smells like alcohol. However, after writing and letting it dry, the smell is much more like coffee, and actually very pleasant. The ink is a very dark brown and incredibly smooth to write with. I strongly recommend using very thick paper to reduce bleed-through.

It was out of curiosity when I ordered this ink but I'm glad I did

It was out of curiosity when I ordered this ink but I'm glad I did. I like dark roasted coffee and the ink just smells and looks like it. Perfect.

If you love a coffee scent

If you love a coffee scent this is the ink for you. Smells amazing but a bit too dark for what I wanted it for

Love this ink!

Love this ink, it smells just like a fresh brewed mug of coffee sitting next to me on my desk as I write.

Writes beautifully in a Conklin All American

Sheaffer Brown Coffee scented writes beautifully in a Conklin All American when other inks skipped in the pen.

Pretty ink

Pretty ink. Unfortunately the scent is overbearingly strong. Like, I can’t open the bottle in a closed room, I can’t leave the (capped) pen out of its case, and I’m afraid to use it in public for the sake of others strong. It’s a shame because I like the ink itself, it’s well behaved and a lovely warm shade of brown. It’s just the smell is so strong (and in my opinion bad). It doesn’t even really smell like coffee so much as it smells like creamer

Just liked drinking coffee!!! Smell so good

Smells Great, Bleeds Through A Lot

I got this ink together with my new Sheaffer Legacy. That pen comes with a Medium steel nib. The result was a lot like using a new broad tip Sharpie permanent marker...similar line size, just as much bleed through.
Cleaned and rinsed my Legacy with cold running water and a bulb syringe, then refilled it with Pelikan 4001 Königsblau...and the pen performed exactly as expected!
Filled my trusty Fine 14k nib Lamy Safari (yes, I'm one of those people ☺) with this ink, and...more bleeding, feathering, and ghosting. The only other inks I've seen bleed this much are DeAtramentis Document Ink, but at least they're waterproof.
I've used a Bastion Fountain Pen, featuring a #4 or #5 Moonman nib, which has a very miserly ink flow. Almost no feathering, no ghosting, but still enough bleed through to make writing on the backside impossible.
Smells like Kahlua, or Baileys, while you're writing, but the smell is for your nose only, not the recipients', unless you're writing to a blood hound ☺.

Good ink

The color is nice. It smells strongly of coffee, which is why I got it. It also dries VERY quickly. It does not smear. However...it bleeds through paper. It even bled through slightly on my thickest paper.

Smells and Feathers

In an ironic twist reminiscent of the 1959 Twilight Zone episode, "Time Enough at Last" I looked forward to trying out this scented ink. By the time it arrived, though, I was recovering from a covid infection and couldn't smell a thing. My wife and daughter assure me it smells like a caramel latte. I put the ink in a fairly wet-writing pen and noticed it readily feathers even on Clairefontaine paper, so one must either write fast or, perhaps, use a drier pen. The color is definitely coffee with cream.

COFFEE (feathers a bit)

This ink does not have shading nor sheen. But this ink absolutely ROCKS in scent; It's as powerful as a Noodler's Ahab's plant resin smell. You can litterally smell it across the room.

The ink feathers. And i would consider it wet-medium flow.

How do I clean a fountain pen?

It depends on the filling mechanism, but it mostly comes down to flushing it out with water, and sometimes a little bit of Pen Flush if the ink is really stuck.

It's a bit easier to show than to tell, so we've put together a few quick videos showing you the process:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

How do I fill a fountain pen with ink?

It depends on the pen's filling mechanism, which you can find in the Technical Specs section above.

Here's a quick definition of the most common filling mechanisms:

Cartridge - A small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write! Check out our quick guide here.
Converter - A detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter. Here's a video for how to fill a cartridge/converter pen using a LAMY pen as an example.
Eyedropper - A pen that utilizes the entire barrel as a reservoir for ink. Ink is directly filled into the barrel, allowing for a high ink capacity. Here's a video on how to do it!
Piston - A type of filling system that uses a retracting plunger inside a sealed tube to draw ink into a pen. They are typically either twist or push-operated. These pens cannot accept cartridges or a converter, and only fill from bottled ink.
Vacuum - A push-style piston that uses pressure to fill the large pen body with ink. They seal the ink chamber when closed, making it ideal for flying without risk of leaking. Check out our video on how to use a vac filler here.
