Volume 3: Havana

Our third issue takes us to Havana, as we share thermoses of scarce coffee stretched with powdered peas, tinker with Italian espresso machines in disrepair, meet a band that performs alongside the sound of grinding beans, and get familiar with international power players itching to break into a coffee-growing, coffee-guzzling country on the brink of change. Volume 3 is about what it’s like to drink coffee in Havana, past and present, a palm tree-packed tropical city with as much gusto as the coffee it offers.
