01 / The cover story Object of the week

A lighter touch

Europe's edition is built around control with less intervention: pressure profiling you can see, grinders and brewers that make small adjustments count, and two coffees with sharply different processing signatures. The small finds come through Copenhagen's coffee orbit.

Bean of the week

Mission Coffee Works · Coffee beans

03 / The objects 5 more to know

The gear edit

The objects making brewing more precise, more enjoyable or simply better looking.

C60 Baracuda Stone Washed

A German-made hand grinder with a unibody steel frame and Baracuda burr set.

Its rigid steel chassis is an unusually direct attempt to make hand-grinder alignment and throughput tangible.

O1 Brewer Steel — Obsidian

A compact one-cup flat-paper steel brewer in an Obsidian finish.

A minimal brewer that makes bed geometry the central decision instead of adding more hardware.

Hoop Coffee Brewer

A radial-infusion brewer that distributes water through a perforated central flow tower.

Radial infusion tries to solve even saturation structurally, reducing the role of pouring technique.

Small find

La Cabra Cap

A GOTS-certified organic-cotton cap from the Danish roaster, offered in four colours.

The human queue suggestion holds up: restrained coffee-company merchandise with credible material sourcing.

ABACA Filter Paper — 1 Cup
