The Cup: Coban Guatemala

Coban is a coffee-growing region in Alta Verapaz, Guatemala. Single origin means the coffee is sourced from one named origin rather than being a multi-country blend.

Aroma & flavour

Sweet aromatics with floral and fruited notes. Distinct without being sharp, so it is easy to drink cup after cup.

Body & acidity

A silky body carries a gentle citrus acidity. That balance is what keeps it smooth as an espresso and steady under milk.

Roast & prep

A medium roast, pulled fresh to order. Nothing sitting around, so every cup tastes the way it should.

Ways to Drink It

The same Coban single origin runs through the whole menu. Prices are shown where fixed; see the full menu for the rest.

Espresso

A short, intense shot that shows off Coban's sweet aromatics and citrus acidity. The base for everything else.

Flat White

£3.95

Smooth espresso with velvety microfoam. The silky body of the Coban really comes through.

Cappuccino

£3.95

Espresso under a light, airy foam finish. A classic, done properly.

Latte

£3.95

Longer and milkier, with the floral, fruited notes softened by steamed milk.

Iced Coffee

Chilled espresso over ice for warmer Morningside afternoons. Bright and refreshing.

Affogato

£5.50

A shot of fresh espresso poured over vanilla Hackney Gelato. Coffee and gelato in one.
