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.

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.

Origin Coffee★★★ Purist

Old City gets the full Origin programme: named single origins with tasting notes printed on the menu, poured by staff hired specifically for their coffee knowledge.

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.
