The Water Problem Nobody Talks About

Water is 98% of brewed coffee. Mineral content, pH, and hardness change flavor more than origin does. Here is what the science says and what to actually do about it.

Porto at its finest

Mesa 325 is a destination cafe. The attention to detail — from the brewing to the ceramics — is next level. Ordered the Ethiopian V60 and it was transcendent.

Solid Parisian specialty

Telescope has been holding it down in Paris for years. The espresso is punchy and well-balanced. Good pastry selection too.

Hidden gem in Porto

Bop surprised me. Tucked in a side street, the space is tiny but the coffee speaks for itself. Their house blend has a chocolate-cherry thing going on that just works.
