Finding the best coffee in Prague
The best coffee in Prague isn't a chain. It's the independent café where the barista dials in espresso every morning, the roastery that names the farm on the bag, the brew bar that takes filter as seriously as espresso. Roasters maps 290 of them.
A quick test for any café in Prague: ask what is on filter today. A specialty bar will name the origin, the process and often the producer, and brew it to order.
- A grinder dialled in daily
- Single-origin or light-roasted blends
