Sheaffer 100 Coffee Edition Fountain Pen with Skrip Coffee-Scented Ink

Sheaffer 100 Coffee Edition Fountain Pen with Skrip Coffee-Scented Ink

Few things combine as naturally as coffee and writing. Sheaffer's 100 Coffee Edition brings those two pleasures together in a single, well-considered gift set - a fountain pen finished in a deep matte coffee brown, paired with a bottle of Skrip ink that carries a genuine coffee fragrance.

The Sheaffer 100 has been one of the brand's most reliable designs for good reason. Its classic cigar-shaped silhouette sits comfortably in the hand, the proportions are balanced, and the snap cap closes with a satisfying compression fit.

This Coffee Edition adds a layer of personality without overreaching - the matte lacquer finish in dark brown runs through a subtle gradient reminiscent of coffee with milk, and the PVD-coated regal brown trim holds its tone without flashiness. The finial carries a small embossed coffee cup with a heart, a nod to café culture that reads as quietly charming rather than novelty.

The Sheaffer White Dot, the brand's longstanding emblem of writing quality, sits on the clip as it has since 1913. The cut-out clip itself is a detail worth noting - it catches light in a way that adds distinction to an otherwise restrained design.

The Nib
This pen is fitted with a medium stainless steel nib finished in matching regal brown PVD. Stainless steel nibs offer a firm, consistent writing experience that suits everyday use well. The ink flow is reliable and smooth, with no skipping under normal writing conditions. For those who prefer a finer line, fine nib options are also available.

The filling system is cartridge and converter. A converter is included, which means you can draw ink directly from a bottle - including the Skrip ink supplied in this set. Sheaffer proprietary cartridges are also compatible and widely available.

The Ink
The Skrip Coffee Edition ink is a dark brown fountain pen ink with a genuine coffee scent. The fragrance is present without being overpowering - noticeable as you write, pleasant at close range, and faded entirely by the time ink dries on the page. The colour itself is a rich, warm brown that reads well on white and cream papers and suits correspondence, journalling, and note-taking alike.

Skrip is formulated for consistent flow and is considered a pen-safe ink — it does not contain additives that risk clogging or staining a fountain pen's feed. The 50 ml bottle has a secure screw-top cap and is presented in recyclable packaging.
