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.

Assembly and Volcano, with barista classes that run from cherry to cup.

Beans & Beats★★ Specialty

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

Addis in Brixton★★ Specialty

Own-roasted Ethiopian coffee served in traditional ceremony style, with water and espresso cups, off Brixton Market. The cultural grounding here is genuine, not decorative.

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.
