1.Need more evidence that London is a serious coffee town?Mr.Davies is actually England's third consecutive world barista champion.The first was James Hoffmann,who started Square Mile Coffee Roasters squaremilecoffee.com) in 2008.It's a small operation,recently relocated to an arched vault under some train tracks in East London.
Today,Square Mile's black bags of beans have become shorthand for quality.They supply beans to Moon Bar (3Bateman Street; 44-20-7287-4796),just opened by the same team behind Flat White (17Berwick Street; 44-20-7734-0370; flat-white.co.uk).
Though it's recently been co-opted(增加的) by chain stores,the"flat white"is also a symbol of serious coffee:it's basically a cappuccino-size style-flat and white-a style imported from Australia (some say New Zealand) when a wave of baristas emigrated from those countries.(Australians and New Zealanders are to espresso what Russians are to chess:they're just better at it.)
Still,independent stores continue to appear in all corners of the city.Last year,the Espresso Room (31Great Ormond Street; 44-20-7932-137-380; theespressoroom.com) opened in a truly tiny storefront.Yet the owner Ben Townsend manages to fit a Marzocco espresso machine,some benches and a case with pastries.
And farther north in Islington,a bar called Tina,We Salute You (47King Henry's Walk; 44-20-3119-0047; tinawesaluteyou.com) opened last February.(According to the owners,the name comes from a daily greeting they give to a cheesecake portrait of a curvy subject named Tina.)
