A trip anywhere in Florida is always accompanied by a trip to Volta Coffee in Gainesville. On this trip back to Tallahassee from Zack and Kelly’s wedding I had a chemex of El Salvador, followed by a macchiato with the last of 49th Parallel’s Epic Espresso and finished with a syphon of 49th’s Yrgacheffe.
