"Hatch cafe on Mare Street running a different roaster every month. Order off whatever's on the hopper today."
249b Mare St, London E8 3NS, UK
A hatch in St John at Hackney's courtyard, running single-origin filter as the main event. Order the Nicaraguan black on the barista's recommendation.
Guest roasters cycle through a La Marzocco setup with hand brew and batch options alongside, and the retail shelf is stocked for people who want to take the conversation home.
Elsewhere roasts its own coffee and runs a focused bar in Hackney where weighing shots and checking extractions is just how it works, not a talking point.
