Spill the Beans is a free magazine distributed to coffee shops throughout KZN. Created out of a passion for coffee, magazines and the pure satisfaction of spending a day idling at a coffee shop. The idea came one day while at a coffee shop with nothing to do but sit and take in the faces around me, I realised that I wanted nothing more than to have an excuse to stay longer. Thus, Spill the Beans was created.
Our first issue was released in September 2008 with an exciting and positive response from the public. As a lifestyle magazine it caters for everyone from your high end marketing director to your average Joe just out for their morning cup of coffee. Spill the Beans wishes to become the number one coffee shop magazine around South Africa. Starting off with its base in Durban we hope to expand to the whole of South Africa, reaching the public and bringing together the nation. Saving the world one coffee shop at a time!
The coffee culture has taken over today’s society and we, at Spill the Beans, are quite happy to go along with the flow of this wonderful trend. With the smell of coffee drifting through the air we have taken our thoughts to paper and created this wonderful magazine to share with other coffee shop lovers.
