Well I love coffee, have done since school age, long before hipsters were a thing.
In my experience, only a few do it right and there’s a world of difference, try a flat white at one of these shops and you’ll see what all the fuss is about.
Edinburgh , “Wellington coffee” on George Street.
Manchester, oddly named “North Tea Power” in a slightly scruffy back street.
Lemington Spa, Corleone cafe on Regent Street
Costa, Nero and especially Starbucks are the Liebfraumilch of coffee, they just churn the stuff out indelicately, you won’t get the right impression there.
And no, I don’t have a funny beard and my clothes aren’t two sizes too small
