Sweven, Harmony, and Skylark rotate through the filter menu alongside several single origins. The staff have a view on which one to order, and it is worth asking.

Sweven, Harmony, Skylark: the filter menu rotates on the right names.

The wrong island

I am writing this from Ponta Delgada, where the coffee in front of me was roasted about four streets away. Normally that is the whole story.

Bean Coffee★★★ Purist

Bean roasts its own under the Liverpool Coffee Roasters name at their Brunswick Dock roastery, pouring single origins with tasting notes on every cup. The retail shelf stocks the same beans to take home.

92 Degrees Coffee★★ Specialty

Own-roast operation in Deansgate, named for the specific thing it cares about. The cortado is the order.

200 Degrees Coffee Shop & Barista School★★ Specialty

200 Degrees roasts its own beans and trains its own baristas, which shows in the cup. The rotating featured lots make repeat visits worthwhile.
