Sometimes one just has to grab a crazy opportunity when it comes your way. For us, this has come in the form of a very small space and a limited period.
November in Berlin.
But, it’s not just anywhere in Berlin. It’s slap bang in the middle opposite the oldest remaining ball-room, “Claerchens Ballhaus“.
Berlin-Mitte (or “middle”) is described by Berlin-Life as follows:
After reunification the largely run-down area experienced an amazing renaissance as an artistic district. Taking advantage of cheap rents, or squatting in derelict houses, young beatniks set up galleries and cafes on Oranienburger Strasse, such as Tacheles, and many a derelict building found a new purpose – techno parties, ramshackle bars and cultural meetings were rife.
It seems appropriate to be in this amazing city with Berlin having turned 775 this year and with plenty to celebrate. It’s not just the design and the creativity and the originality and the opportunities that attract us to this city. Berlin also has an established and growing coffee culture with a focus on speciality coffee and quality and service, pushing the boundaries as to what coffee can be.
We’ll be using a variety of methods on the brew bar, depending on the coffees, presenting them either on the wood neck, aeropress, v60 or the Kalita Wave, as well as serving espresso and espresso-based drinks from our Kees van der Westen S P I R I T espresso-machine.
Our coffee is roasted by a young-and-wild avant-garde German, Johannes Bayer of jb kaffee, based near Munich.
You’ll find us in the “eismanufaktur“, Auguststr. 63, 10117 Berlin.
Look out for the ceiling with its original stucco dating back to around 1870, chandelier, a brushed aluminium espresso-machine, robust Anfim grinder and old locksmith table.
