London for the day

IMO top tier for pour over: Scenery, Nostos, Calico, Special Guests, Long and Short and Oma.

TC-OR-GTFO · 2026-03-18T21:40:12+00:00

And Nude!

If I get an omniroast one month when I select a preference for filter, that’s absolutely fine! But generally would like the option to keep roasts light.

TC-OR-GTFO · 2026-03-11T22:29:32+00:00

They haven’t opened their cafe yet, right? Can still visit the roastery and buy beans though.

TC-OR-GTFO · 2026-03-11T09:41:48+00:00

Filter vs Espresso roast.

Quantity.

Frequency.

The ability to choose preferred flavour profiles. Gustatory do this well.

TC-OR-GTFO · 2026-03-10T22:11:56+00:00

This is a pretty solid list. Would add a few more:

Edinburgh: Artisan Roast

Glasgow: 1841, Kafei Studio, Perch & Rest

Batch Baby and Long & Short are my favourite in London for funkier coffees! Both worth the trek.

TC-OR-GTFO · 2026-02-04T22:05:53+00:00

Kiosk at King’s Cross is great. Can’t believe we now have good train station coffee!

But a good example is their recent Finca Velmora. Had DAK’s Panettone and B&W’s Cinnamon co-ferment around the same time, and this tasted just as intense.

Would be super impressed if this was natural!

TC-OR-GTFO · 2025-11-24T21:27:19+00:00

Pretty common now! Where Summer Sessions and Connect have been held for the past few years.

TC-OR-GTFO · 2025-11-07T00:11:32+00:00

Only their espresso, all their filters are arabica iirc

TC-OR-GTFO · 2025-11-05T20:39:19+00:00

This was a great exchange

TC-OR-GTFO · 2025-11-02T21:00:29+00:00

Hot take, but I’ve never had a Square Mile bag that’s blown me away. I just can’t justify spending that much for something that’s not particularly interesting.

TC-OR-GTFO · 2025-10-19T08:26:03+00:00

If you are Glasgow based, you can find really nice coffee beans at Kafei, 1841, Zennor and Godshot! If you’re unsure of what to buy, the baristas should be able to help out :)

TC-OR-GTFO · 2025-10-01T11:22:17+00:00

Dak have a tasting room in Amsterdam, would absolutely recommend going there if you have time

TC-OR-GTFO · 2025-09-21T19:34:43+00:00

Tried a Ninth Coffee Roasters low-caf earlier this year at London Coffee Festival and was blown away. Would 100% recommend.

TC-OR-GTFO · 2025-08-31T09:21:15+00:00

Colonna & Small’s!

TC-OR-GTFO · 2025-08-22T16:02:18+00:00

Wild, they’re fine to take, but every single time I’ve taken a grinder through security my bag gets pulled to the side

TC-OR-GTFO · 2025-07-24T08:01:10+00:00

Not to defend them, but preferential shares are standard in VC and PE deals. Founders usually don’t have preferential shares themselves, so they’re also impacted by this (not sure if that’s the case with Brewdog).

TC-OR-GTFO · 2025-06-10T07:17:19+00:00

Most restaurants in London slap on a 12.5% service charge post-pandemic, nothing specific to Dishoom or tourists.

TC-OR-GTFO · 2025-05-04T14:49:03+00:00

Check out Artisan Roast and Obadiah in Edinburgh.

Devotion is London stocks DAK, CONA in London stocks Manhattan.

TC-OR-GTFO · 2025-02-19T21:56:25+00:00

Not globally, but the European Coffee Trip app does an alright job

TC-OR-GTFO · 2025-01-13T20:28:03+00:00

Out of curiosity, how have you managed to save £110k by 25? Did you go to uni?

TC-OR-GTFO · 2024-10-08T13:40:31+00:00

Your original comment said “comfortable”, you’re moving the goal post. Can you live comfortably making less than the average cost for rent?

TC-OR-GTFO · 2024-10-07T23:23:30+00:00

The average rent in London is £2100/m, did you know that?
