The coffee making facilities in my hotel room are minimal, but it did come with a kettle and a small French press. Third wave roasteries sell their coffee as whole bean, as they should, but it’s incompatible with my present nomadic lifestyle.
I stumble across a nice looking coffee coffee shop by accident, one that I thought was only in Kreuzberg, and step in to see if they’ll grind beans for me. Very helpful, a barista asks immediately what kind of coffee I’m looking for. I reply that we should start with light roast. That’s good he says. We only have light roast.
I knew then I was in the right place. He helps me find some coffee, and I walk out the place with it freshly ground and an Americano for good measure. Here, the view out the window towards Rosenthaler Platz as two street musicians busk.
The Barn, Berlin.
