Giraffe Coffee Roasters

single-origin filter coffee is where to start here, something slow and considered that gives you a clearer read on what giraffe is actually doing as a roaster. rotterdam's ratelaarweg sits in a quieter industrial pocket of the city, far enough from the tourist-facing centre that the people coming in are mostly there because they want to be, not because the map led them. that regulars keep returning says something about consistency, which for a roaster is the hard part, the part that separates a good week from a good year. you don't stumble onto ratelaarweg 11 by accident. when you do make it out there, order the filter before anything else.
