"A West End independent with enough coffee seriousness to back it up; drip filter on the menu, milk texture that earns a mention, and none of the chain indifference."
2 Drumsheugh Pl, Edinburgh EH3 7PT, UK
One of the few lever machines in Edinburgh, used by a barista who can explain exactly what it does to extraction. Mexican single-origin on espresso; filter runs alongside.
Pour-overs arrive with palate water; the staff can tell you exactly what's in the cup. A West End neighbourhood spot that takes extraction seriously.
For the rotating pour-over menu and staff who understand it, this is the West End's default serious coffee stop.
