If you have a few minutes to spare and want to try something new, ask the boys to brew you a coffee from the siphon (also known as the vacuum pot) crafted by high-end glass producer Hariol - also sold at the café. In coffee-land, this is known as a “clean” cup. There are no paper filters, no direct heat, and the short brew time means the coffee isn’t over-extracted. The result was a floral Ethiopian Sidamo with the delicate design of a black tea but all the rev of real coffee.

“If you had our coffee from one of those big Starbucks things, you wouldn’t taste any of the differences of the beans,” said Rod. “It’s crazy, it’s unbelievable how much more you get out of your coffee if you prepare it right.” - SH
