ethiopia coffee
by gordon street coffee · glasgow, uk
you'll taste milk chocolate before dark chocolate. this is ethiopian djimmah, an ethiopia from gordon street coffee.
it tastes of milk chocolate and dark chocolate with a cocoa backbone and an earthy finish, giving it a grounded, full-flavoured character rather than a bright or fruity one.
it is grown in the djimmah region of ethiopia, a well-established coffee-producing area, though specific processing details such as washed or natural have not been confirmed for this lot.
the medium roast works well with filter methods or a cafetière, using water around 93°c and a medium-coarse grind to bring out the chocolate and earthy notes without over-extracting.
glasgow's central station buzzes with travelers clutching takeaway cups, but gordon street coffee stands apart from the rush. this isn't grab-and-go coffee. the roastery operates with the kind of precision that comes from caring deeply about each bean that passes through their hands. that 4.5 rating from nearly 800 reviews tells you something. people don't accidentally stumble into loving a place this much. they come back because someone here understands that good coffee isn't just about caffeine. it's about the moment when hot liquid meets ceramic and everything slows down, even in a train station. the smell hits you first. fresh roasted beans carry weight that pre-ground supermarket coffee never could. then there's the sound: the gentle whoosh of steam, the satisfying click of portafilters locking into place. glasgow has plenty of coffee shops. it has fewer places where someone actually gives a damn about what's in your cup.
