Stephen Leighton’s magnificent coffee beans are not his only claim to fame. It’s not just his exuberance and boundless enthusiasm for his profession that shines through in the beans he sells online from his West Midlands roastery. His background also sets him apart: he’s also (almost certainly) the only coffee roaster to have started out working in prisons, inspired by the sitcom Porridge. I spent all my childhood wanting to be a prison officer and then in my first week I hated it,” he says ruefully. But after hard work in his spare time, he soon devised an escape plan. “I was importing green beans for home roasting from the States, because I’ve always been passionate about good coffee.

Then I decided to buy a little two-kilo roaster. I put it in my garage at home, built a really rubbish website and started selling online. I used to roast in the evenings after work, till until two or three in the morning, and I’d take the parcels to the post office at lunch.” The plan eventually paid off. Leighton was able to give up the prison work after a few yearsand open a 10,000sq ft roastery in Stafford in the West Midlands. Claritas est etiam processus dynamicus, qui sequitur mutationem consuetudium lectorum.

Get the basics. These consist of the main dinner plate and the drinking glass. Set the dinner plate in front of the chair (center it) and place the drinking glass on the right side of the plate accordingly. Alternatively, place the napkin either on the table to the left of the forks.

How to place Glasses and Cups

• For a dinner party, there are usually three drinking glasses,
• The one closest to the main plate is the white wine glass,
• The middle glass is the red wine glass, and the one farthest away is the water glass.^[1]
• A coffee cup and saucer sits to the right of the red wine glass position.^[2]

Add to the dinner plate a napkin placed in the center. Alternatively, place the napkin either on the table to the left of the forks,^[3] or on a side plate (see below); some people roll up the napkin and place it into a wine glass. Add a small bread plate with a knife placed inside of it horizontally to the upper left corner of the dinner plate (American setting). Or, use it as a “side plate” and have it placed to the side (English setting), with the butter knife still upon it.
