Caption: SIPHON POT "Water is heated by a burner, and an air bubble expands upwards into the coffee grounds. The burner is removed and the coffee passes back through a cloth filter. The water stays with the grounds for the perfect amount of time, and it makes the cup very smooth."

Caption: "There's less rush here than at a chain coffee place. We can give the customer a more versatile experience. For example, we only have one espresso machine, so it takes longer, but it gives us time to chat with customers and make a connection."

Caption: "I love when customers come and sit at the counter and talk with me. I also like the people I work with, so that helps."
