Substance Café in Paris, specialty coffee roaster

you book a time, you show up, and joachim morceau decides what you're drinking. that's the deal at substance café. no takeaway, no menu to scroll, just coffee roasted on site and a host who competed at the french brewers cup twice, once pulling a runner-up finish with a washed biodynamic geisha. the lots he sources are small, sometimes unrepeatable. he's not chasing volume. he's slowing you down long enough to actually hear where the coffee came from.
