"毫无疑问，伦敦拥有世界上**，最有趣的咖啡馆。《伦敦咖啡》讲述了它们的故事：关于人，地方和历史。

21世纪的咖啡饮用者已经形成了对单一源头和轻度烘焙的品味——他们渐渐学会了诸如风土，意式咖啡沫（crema），微泡沫之类的术语——他们阅读品尝笔记并了解了不同的烘焙模式在杯子里的实际口感。这种新发现的公共兴趣催生了数百家咖啡店，专业烘焙商，设备供应商和专门的节日。然而，人们常常忘记的是，伦敦自17世纪50年代以来就拥有咖啡馆了，这里是知识分子，作家，商人，持不同政见者和学者聚集的地方。这些都是辩论的温床，社区聚会的地方和商业的发源地。

这些有历史意义的地方中有些仍然存在，充满了复古气息和磨砂黑胶座椅。在我们的城市，他们坐在新的，干净平整的斯堪的纳维亚风格的咖啡店旁边，小批量烘焙者在他们的工作坊里供应热气腾腾的咖啡，而意大利风格的咖啡馆则代代相传。

London is without a doubt home to some of the world's best and most interesting coffeehouses. London Coffee tells their stories: of the people, the places and the history.

Coffee drinkers in the 21st century have developed a taste for single origin and light roasts - they've come to learn terms such as terroir, crema, microfoam - they read tasting notes and understand what different roasting profiles actually taste like in the cup. This newfound public interest has spawned hundreds of coffee shops, speciality roasters, equipment suppliers, and dedicated festivals. However, what is oft-forgotten is that London has been home to coffeehouses since the 1650's - populated by intellectuals, writers, businessmen, dissidents and academics; these were hothouses of debate, community-gathering places, and the birthplace of business.

Some of these historic places are still around, flush with their vintage charm and scuffed vinyl seating. In our city, they sit alongside new, crisp Scandinavian-style coffee shops, small-batch roasters who serve steaming cups right in their workshops, and Italian-style cafes passed down through generations of the same family.
