la mina espresso is a colombian coffee from the nariño region, roasted by five elephant kollwitz. it's processed using the honey method, where some fruit mucilage is left on the bean during drying, which contributes to its winey, sticky-sweet character. in the cup expect honey, honeycomb, and a winey depth that makes it well suited to espresso preparation, where the concentration of the brew brings those fermented, sweet qualities forward. pull it as a straight shot or a short milk drink to keep the sweetness intact.

about five elephant kollwitz
and that's when you realize berlin's coffee conversation runs deeper than the tourist trail might suggest. five elephant kollwitz sits on kollwitzstraße where prenzlauer berg settles into its residential rhythm, away from the museum crowds but close enough that you can walk there after browsing the weekend market. they roast their own beans, which means the coffee changes with what they're working on that week. not every neighborhood roaster manages to hold local attention for years, but this one does. the space fills with people who live nearby, laptop workers who've claimed their corner, conversations in three languages that blend into the background hum of a grinder working through the afternoon. you'll taste why they've stuck around when you order that flat white at 3pm on a tuesday.
