Six pieces from the last few editions.
A short list of pieces our community comes back to — brewing experiments, café notes, conversations with roasters, gear we actually use.
Café note · Lisbon
Three cafés on the same street
A morning walking the same Lisbon avenue, tasting the same single-origin from three different bars. Yes — they taste different.
Conversation
"You're allowed to dislike coffee."
A long conversation with a head roaster about palate fatigue, honest reviews and the case for occasionally drinking tea.
Home brewing
The grinder we kept
After a year of testing entry-level grinders for our home set-up — which one outlasted everything else, and why.
Origin
Visiting a small Colombian washing station
A travel note from a single-day visit to a community-owned washing station in Huila — and what it changed about how we taste their coffee.
Partner roastery
Roastery of the month · Stillpoint
A short profile of an Edinburgh micro-roastery whose Kenyan single-origin we've reached for every morning this week.
"A full cup space isn't a competition. It's a small, slow conversation between people who would rather brew one good coffee than five mediocre ones."
