What to order
- A cortado or flat white — To judge espresso and milk.
- Pour-over — To taste the beans.
- Drip coffee — If you need it fast.
- A pastry — If baked in-house or by a good bakery.
How to spot a good one
- Fresh-roasted beans — Roasted within the last few weeks, with a roast date on the bag. Many good shops roast their own or name their roaster.
- Espresso pulled with care — Not bitter or sour. A good cortado or flat white is the easiest test.
- Milk steamed properly — Silky microfoam, not big bubbles or scalded milk.
