The Coffee
Specially created by David Higgins himself, 1942 Blend is our premium espresso blend.
We blend medium roasted Arabica beans from small lot farms in Brazil, Colombia and Costa Rica to create a perfectly balanced cup. The result is a smooth, rich shot with notes of sweet caramel, powerfully fruity with no bitterness. A truly classic espresso coffee.
1942 Blend is a tribute to David’s Grandfather and H. R. Higgins founder, Harold Rees Higgins. Harold began his business in 1942 because of his immense passion for roasting exceptional coffees.

Coffee & Culture on Mount Street
Since 1942, H.R.Higgins has been part of Mayfair’s story. From our shop on Duke Street, just a few steps from Mount Street, we have welcomed generations of customers in search of something exceptional. Next week, that story continues as we take part in the Mount Street Arts Festival, running from 13 to 18 October 2025.
International Coffee Day: A Story That Continues
“At its beginning H.R.Higgins (Coffee-man) had to be wholesale only because, as my father says in his diary, you couldn’t expect retail customers to climb up five flights of stairs.”
