  • •Named single origins with tasting notes printed on the menu
  • •Staff hired specifically for their coffee knowledge, not just to work the till
  • •Retail beans on sale, so the coffee behind the counter is the same one you take home

Full Court Press★★★ Purist

Full Court Press roasts its own coffee in Old City and publishes exactly what it pays its producers, a transparency most roasters keep to themselves. The programme is run by a Q-Grader and SCA-certified roaster, which shows in the cup.

Small Street Espresso★★ Specialty

Clifton Coffee anchors the espresso here, backed by a genuine rotation of guest roasters pulled from Bristol and further afield. The programme reads sharper than the modest Old City counter suggests.

The Colombian Company★★ Specialty

Founded by Colombian-born Jhampoll Gutierrez Gomez, this is direct-trade done literally: Finca las Cruces beans from Risaralda, bought straight from the farmers who grew them. For Bristol, the sourcing chain is unusually short.
