Zero Day Coffee

the drip coffee here is worth slowing down for, especially at elevation where a lot of places cut corners and call it a day. leadville sits at over 10,000 feet, which means water boils at a lower temperature and extraction behaves differently than it does anywhere else, so a shop that pulls consistent specialty-grade results up here is doing something genuinely harder than it looks. you'll find zero day coffee on east 7th street, which puts it right in the middle of a working mountain town, not a resort corridor. the regulars aren't casual about it. cold mornings, a solid cup, no pretense. if you're passing through on your way into the san isabel or heading up to mount elbert, the drip is the move.
