"Named after the Melbourne neighbourhood that defined Australian specialty coffee, this Old Town spot rotates its beans weekly and runs batch brew alongside espresso. Staff will ask what you're after and mean it."
46 Easter Rd, Edinburgh EH7 5PJ, UK
An arch unit beside Waverley that rotates European roasters through the grinder rather than settling on a house blend. Filter runs alongside espresso; the sourcing is deliberate and it shows.
Their own roastery feeds a pour-over bar where the baristas share extraction notes like they mean it. Bright, fruity filter or rich espresso; both land at the level the beans deserve.
A working roastery on the Royal Mile, with hand pours to back it up. For this stretch of the city, that's a serious outlier.
