Ink Review
Supplies Used:
- LAMY with medium steel nib
- Rhodia No. 16 dot pad, 80g white paper
- Tomoé River 52 gsm white paper
- Leuchtturm1917 80g notebook
Smear Test (Dry Time):
- 20-30 seconds – We found this ink was relatively middle to slightly wet writing, taking upwards of 25+ seconds to fully dry.
Drip Test (Water Resistance):
- Low – Coffee Break lacks any water resistance and we found it all but washed away when water touched it.
Saturation:
- Medium – When layered this ink had some good depth of color, going from lighter to deep chocolate brown with red hues like a dark roast coffee.
Ease of Cleaning:
- High – This ink was cleaned out readily and left no staining.
Shading:
- High – From light yellow-brown to deep chocolate tones Coffee Break has a good amount of shading on the loops and crossed letters.
Flow:
- Medium – Not a super wet or dry ink, this was fairly middle of the road and kept up well in the medium LAMY nib.
Packaging and Aesthetics:
- This Colorverse ink comes in a small 30ml glass bottle with a faceted black cap. We found this was large enough to fill a LAMY or other pens with a slightly larger grip sections.

Summary:
Overall, Coffee Break is a great addition for anyone looking for a non-traditional but still professional ink color with some shading and character. With its ease of cleaning and rich color this is not one to miss!
This color is available in 30ml bottles as well as our ink samples.
