Our next ink this week is Colorverse Coffee Break from the Joy in the Ordinary Collection. My sample of ink came from Vanness Pens.

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has some shading.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm, as well as cheap copy paper.

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some bleeding and feathering in the larger nib sizes.

Coffee Break is right in-between most of these brown inks. There’s not one that’s a perfect match. Click here to see the brown inks together.

I used a Montegrappa Copper Mule with a fine nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, this is a lovely brown. It’s a nice color and well behaved.

Thanks to all my Patrons! I couldn’t do these reviews without you! You can find my Patreon page here.
