edinburgh's coffee has improved dramatically over the last 12 months or so and shows no signs of slowing down
for visitors this is great news
for those who live here this is FANTASTIC news!
you'll see from the april 2009 'the pursuit' blog entry that this was not always the case - a frustration that drove the creation of this blog in the first place. many a 'bad' or 'abominable' coffee rating was added to this site in the hope of saving others from making the same mistakes as us
but now more and more great, independent coffee shops/cafes are opening up all over town. the best ones source excellent quality coffee from local and/or independent suppliers because people who are passionate about coffee seek out the best ingredients available. equally important are the skillful baristas who coax out the perfect espresso and, for those who like a longer drink, add beautifully soft, stretched milk to make a lovely, lovely coffee
so now that the balance of good to bad is starting to shift, it's time for a change of policy
we've taken down tens of older posts for bad and worse coffee shops that we don't intend to visit again
reviews we place on the site from now on will be for good or better coffee shops. so if you see it on this site, and you're in harmony with the assessment criteria, you'll find some of the best coffee in edinburgh
