NEEDLES & BEANS 🪡☕️
Slow Frequencies at Home of the Bean.

What if you gave yourself a day to simply… be? 🤎

A little escape from the noise, a moment to breathe, and a beautiful meeting of vinyl, jazz, ambient sounds, coffee and stillness.

Join us for Needles & Beans, an intimate slow-listening and sound bath experience where Quiet Selections by Simmy meet Akie’s soothing sound baths and guided breathing. Together, we’ll journey through gentle frequencies, intentional breaths and carefully curated records designed to help you unwind, reconnect and find a little ease within yourself.

Bring your favourite book, journal, pillow, your thoughts, or absolutely nothing at all. Find your corner, sip something warm, close your eyes, let the records spin and give yourself permission to slow down. There’s no rush, no pressure, no expectations. Just you, beautiful sounds and the freedom to simply exist in the moment. ✨

With only 20–25 spaces available, we’re keeping this gathering intimate, intentional and full of warmth. We can’t wait to share this little sanctuary with you. Come for the music, stay for the stillness, and leave feeling a little lighter. 🕯️

Johannesburg, look who’s coming!
On October 3, we’re bringing a lot of good coffee people into one room.

And the stage is only part of it.
Home of the Bean (HOB) and Topdose Roasters are bringing the competition coffees, and will be brewing them themselves at the TBL Café, so you can actually taste what the teams are working with.

Culture Coffee | Specialty Coffee Shop & Roastery, the winners of TBL: Africa 2025, will also be back in the room with their own stand.

At The African School of Coffee, you can take part in “Can You Taste It?”, a relaxed tasting challenge where you’ll learn the basics of tasting coffee, test your palate and see how your score stacks up on the live leaderboard.

There’s more happening around the room, too.
At Rancilio Specialty, test your espresso skills in the Temperature Profile Game.

With Toddy LLC, take on the Toddy Toss, and you might leave with a Toddy Go Brewer.

Cape Coffee Beans will be roasting live, brewing the fresh coffee on the spot and giving you a chance to taste it straight away.

A competition, a lot of coffee, and a room full of people worth knowing.

☕️ SLURP. TASTE. REPEAT.

On 19 September, we’re getting seriously curious at Home of the Bean. 👀

We’re cupping exclusively the competition beans heading into the Barista League; so expect a true burst of flavour, sweetness, aroma and all the little nuances that make coffee magic.

There’ll be lots of sluurrrps, curious palates, big flavour discoveries and, most importantly… a good time. 🫶🏾☕️

Come taste what the competitors will be working with.
Let’s cup it. 🥄☕️ From 10:30 at Home of the Bean Victoria Yards.

NEEDLES & BEANS

Slow Frequencies at Home of the Bean ☕️

A little space away from the noise.

Needles & Beans is a slow listening session built around vinyl, coffee, jazz and ambient frequencies — a place to soften the edges of the week and let your mind wander without having anywhere to be.

Expect Quiet Selections by Simmy; carefully chosen records moving gently through jazz, ambient and other slow frequencies. The session will also be accompanied by a Sound Bath by Akie, creating a deeper space for stillness, meditation and listening.

Bring a book. Bring a pillow. Bring your journal, your thoughts, or nothing at all. Find a corner, settle in and let the needle do the talking. Let the sound bath wash through the room while the records spin, creating space for reading, reflection, meditation, daydreaming or simply sitting still.

No rush. No loud rooms. No pressure to do anything.

Just records spinning, coffee brewing, pages turning and frequencies designed to slow you down.

Come to close the week gently, or start the weekend differently.
