Coffee Culture

“Kaffeine on Great Titchfield finally got the new Modbar. Pulls a flat white in 22 seconds from order. Worth the £4.80 even on a weekday morning.”

“Sey Coffee in Bushwick is dropping a Gesha lot from Finca Hartmann next Tuesday. Limited to 200 bags. They opened the waitlist this morning quietly on the newsletter only.”

“Green coffee prices are settling but specialty isn't coming down. Roasters who locked in contracts at the December peak are passing the cost through for the next 18 months. Your $7 cortado is the new floor, not a spike.”

“Hot take from someone who spent two weeks in Melbourne this year. The American specialty scene has caught up. The gap between a great cortado in San Francisco and one in Fitzroy is now genuinely zero. The difference is service culture, not the cup.”

“The best flat white in Brooklyn right now is Parlor on Devoe. They're sourcing from one farm in Huila. That's it. Go before they scale.”
