Coffee Project opens an Upper East Side outpost

Coffee Project New York has opened a new outpost at 1219 First Avenue on the Upper East Side, New York, with a public opening morning scheduled for September 20. The independent roaster and education hub says the new room will carry its daily pour-overs, rotating single-origin coffees and signature drinks.

Why it matters: this is a practical expansion from a Filter Notes-listed New York coffee name into a part of Manhattan where thoughtful specialty-coffee stops are less concentrated. The opening event is a useful near-term reason to plan a visit, while the permanent shop gives Upper East Side mornings another serious coffee option.

☕️ Bangkok hosts 2026 World Cup Tasters result

Check dates with the organiser

World Coffee Championships has confirmed Le Quang Cuong (Nicky), representing Vietnam, as the 2026 World Cup Tasters Champion after the Bangkok competition. The event ran May 7-9 at World of Coffee Bangkok, with 46 competitors and a final ranking that also included Catherine Queiroz, Mehmet Sogan, and Mizuki Tagami.

Why it matters: Bangkok is a Filter Notes city, and hosting a major global sensory competition is a useful marker for readers tracking where the specialty coffee calendar is concentrating attention.
