filter coffee is the move here, if you want to understand what the underdog is actually doing. this is a roaster that takes the sourcing side seriously, which means what ends up in your cup has been thought about well before it reaches iraklidon 8. the thissio neighborhood puts you close to the ancient agora and the kerameikos cemetery, so there's a particular kind of unhurried foot traffic on this street, people mid-wander rather than mid-commute. that pace suits the place. you're not going to feel rushed. the local reputation has built steadily, the kind that comes from people coming back rather than passing through once. if you're around in the morning, the filter options are worth sitting with rather than taking to go.
