Editorial pour-over guide
Osaka has small roaster counters, riverside cafés and larger hand-drip bars for a leisurely filter coffee.
ULT is a good place to start. LiLo combines pour-over with a broad bean selection, while GLITCH serves high-end single-origin coffees in Nakanoshima.
Pour-over is a real part of the offer here, not just occasional filter coffee.
