The objective of the Coffee Law site was originally to create an area where law students could have a cup of coffee and catch up on their studies, news, current affairs and other items of interest. 

   Professor Walker had described his classes as being based on "coffee law" as all of the necessary materials were provided online so that students could pass his courses sitting in a coffee shop armed only with a smart phone or a tablet.

   This has then been extended by his students to create a site for all school, college and university attendees in any fields. 

   This has later been extended again to create an introductory access area for anyone interested in law or coffee. A Tea Club was also added shortly after launch to cater for all preferences.
