single origin filter is the move here, if you're the kind of person who wants to taste what the roaster is actually thinking. a matter of concrete operates out of van nelleweg 1, deep inside the van nelle estate in rotterdam, a unesco world heritage site that used to process coffee and tobacco back when rotterdam ran on those trades. there's a particular logic to a specialty roaster setting up inside that building, even if nobody's making a fuss about the symmetry. you don't need to be a coffee obsessive to feel like something is being taken seriously. the regulars clearly agree, and they keep coming back. if you only have time for one thing, order the filter and drink it before you start walking the estate.
