About 3 double Ristrettos.

Do you enjoy having your coffee with pastry alongside, and if so, what is it?

Hmm, the thought of a lukewarm brownie makes me hungry!

Not in general. For now it’s Rwanda (Coko, from Amsterdam based White Label Coffee). I think it’s good to keep inspiring your taste buds and not stick to 1 particular taste. Play around, widen your senses.

Rwanda (see the previous question), and Brazil (from Amsterdam based Bocca).

Caffènation Amsterdam. The laid-back feel and extreme high quality coffee, attention to detail; I love it!
