The wrong island

I am writing this from Ponta Delgada, where the coffee in front of me was roasted about four streets away. Normally that is the whole story.

ONE1★★ Specialty

ONE1 is run with a specialty coffee conviction that converts people. Precision brewing, a founder on the floor who'll walk you through what's in the cup, and a calm design-led space in the Jewellery Quarter.

Java Roastery HQ★★ Specialty

The baristas here ask how you drink your coffee before they make a recommendation. That works because they roast on-site and rotate the origins themselves.

Ithaka Coffee★★★ Purist
Digbeth

Dale sources every bean himself at origin and roasts on-site. The most serious cup in Birmingham, and it's on Gibb Street.
