Issue 33: Hustle, Bustle & Coffee

Issue 33 is a tribute to the ambient symphony of coffee rituals—slurps, clinking cups, the hum of the espresso machine, and muffled conversation forming the soundtrack of your favourite café.

It was these same sounds that provided the little throb of inspiration that started the production of this issue, giving it a sense of kaleidoscopic harmony.

We’ve scored an exclusive interview with NBA superstar and minor coffee mogul @JimmyButler, spilled the beans on the potential of an oft-overlooked coffee species, experimented with a new—and fun—way to dial in your espresso, and brought you a story of how worms are playing a starring role in shaping the path to organic coffee in Kenya.

Navigating the urban chaos to find that perfect cup of tranquility, the cover of our new issue takes you on a journey through the bustling Porto, where the quest for the perfect coffee harmonizes with the rhythm of the city. 

Inspired by Depeche Mode’s ‘Enjoy the Silence’ and Saul Leiter’s visual symphony, our latest cover story is captured by photographer @Luba.Kozorezova, and beautifully echoes the overarching theme of the issue: sound.
