Ethiopian coffee, hand-roasted on site and served the traditional way with water alongside the espresso, tucked into Brixton Market's covered arcade.

Beans & Beats★★ Specialty

The kind of place where the barista's description of the shot is more useful than the menu.

Four Boroughs★★ Specialty

A Brixton courtyard spot run by a barista with JCT specialty pedigree. The filter programme is the reason to seek it out.

Door★★ Specialty

Hot Drops, the regular tasting format, walks you through Assembly Coffee's range with a barista who knows the sourcing. Volcano Coffee's team runs the classes, and the espresso session covers grind weight, not enthusiasm.
