The Ethiopian Coffee Company

The Ethiopian Coffee Company is a London-based specialty roaster with a cafe at Ground Control on Amwell Street, doing one thing and doing it well: Ethiopian coffee. Right now they're offering a Yirgacheffe Kohere Debo—a Grade 1 natural-process stunner with chocolatey, nutty notes that really open up as the cup cools. Late harvest naturals are their thing, beans picked long after the main crop, and they wear that preference proudly. It's a focused operation, no diversions into blends from elsewhere—just single-origin Ethiopian beans you can buy whole or pre-ground in various sizes. Stop by their cafe for homemade soups, sandwiches, and pastries alongside their coffee, or order online. Simple. Ethiopian. Done right.
