The one cup to order

Whatever single origin is on filter that day: ask the barista which one they're proudest of, from the farms you can see from town

When it's quiet: Weekday mornings.

No. 3 in the world for 2026: a coffee shop at origin, where the story of the farm is the point and the cup comes from beans grown up the road.

6 min · 1 big cup (about 300 ml). The cup the Coffee 100's filter bars are built on: light-roasted beans, hot water poured by hand in stages, and a cup that tastes of fruit and the farm, not of roast.
