Coffee Guides

Looking for inspiration for some of the best coffee bars from around the world? I've produced a series of speciality coffee city guides and maps, currently covering 32 of the countries I've visited across five continents. In some cases, there weren't enough coffee shops for a guide (yet) or I didn't spend long enough in the city to explore the coffee scene fully; for these, I've linked relevant reviews below.

For a more comprehensive overview of my own speciality coffee journey from 2010–2019, head over to this article.

If you want even more coffee, you can find all of my coffee-related posts here, and for more travel, my travel posts are indexed here.
