The filter board changes hands between Tim Wendelboe, Coffee Collective and a rotating cast of Europe's sharpest roasters. The baristas can make the case for whichever one is pouring that week.

Colonna & Small's★★★ Purist

The London branch of Colonna Coffee, where Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood's three UK Barista Championships translate into three rotating single-origin filters and a separate espresso track. The barista will help you choose; order the Pulsar-brewed filter.

Sofu Coffee★★ Specialty

A Japanese-influenced Clerkenwell bar where a Bao-alumni pastry chef's matcha canelé is on the counter and the espresso comes in ceramics. The coffee earns its company.

COMP Coffee★★ Specialty

Ray hand-brews Yunnan single-origins and has run cupping sessions for customers who want to know what they're drinking. Not a walk-in; a destination on Leather Lane.
