Flat white at home. Drip in Tokyo. Ink on paper everywhere.
I’m the typical Melburnian (or Narrm-nian?) who drinks flat white — sometimes a Melbourne Magic to survive a lack of REM sleep. If it’s a non-specialty shop, I lower my risk of disappointment with a mocha (if at Starbucks, the pumpkin spice latte when in season).
In Tokyo, however, whether in a traditional kissaten or hipster roasters, I would often order the drip. As anything Japanese, they elevate the craft of craft coffee, patience, and quiet art in every pour. Aiming to capture the ritual in sumi ink — the bloom, the swirl, the pause between drips.
