Ashmolean Coffee

We are thrilled to have teamed up with the Ashmolean Museum, the world’s first public museum, to bring you this special heritage coffee.

In the seventeenth-century a shortage of small change currency pushed businesses to create their own illegal currency in the form of coffee tokens. To carry on this tradition, we would love for you to have a free coffee at our Jericho Coffee Traders espresso bar on the High Street, Oxford. Please exchange the token on the top of the tin for a coffee of your choice.
