It all started with Jay-Z. While on holiday in Croatia back in 2013, Grace had a dream where she was talking to Jigga about her business plans, and he told her “You have to call your business Penny & Meriwether.” When she woke up, she bought pennyandmeriwether.com and held onto it for the next 7 years, waiting for the right time.
Pete founded sister company Clockwork Espresso in 2014, where he designed PUSH – the world’s most precise coffee tamper. To meet customers’ demand for customization and branding, Penny & Meriwether was born.
Penny & Meriwether creates magic for their customers with their engraving services and products. They have curated a range of the very best coffee equipment and drinkware from around the world that can be personalised or customised with your name, logo or picture of your dog with their trusty laser engravers and just a little touch of magic.
