Austral Coffee Bar
@australcoffeebar is a cafeteria located in Eixample that every specialty coffee lover in Barcelona should go to, especially for the service! A couple of a Brazilian (by heart – also Argentinian) and an Argentinian is responsible for the shop and for the great care with all the people that enter it, and in my humble opinion, the service counts more than the coffee itself, playing a bigger part in the specialty coffee ritual and experience!
That being said, don’t be surprised if you see a great movement of people, and loyal people in Austral having their daily shot of caffeine! Every time I have been there, I could see that and despite lots of labor, they were always smiling and asking about how people were.
Austral offers a good variety of coffee methods such as Espresso and its variations, cold brew, v60, Aeropress, french press, Chemex, and batch brew. In my opinion, the prize goes to the espresso always very well extracted with a charming Rocket Machine.@rocketespresso
.
Another great food offer, besides the usual offered in a coffee shop, is the Pao de Queijo. A Brazilian snack that I, as a Brazilian am very fan of! And everyone should try them, which are locally made at the shop.
.
As for roasters, the couple is using @lacherry.coffee in espresso at the moment, and they are always open for guest roasters that come and go to the taste of the clients!
.
Austral has also the philosophy that I defend so much, that is to try to democratize the access to specialty coffee to the regular coffee taker, and they are managing to do so emblematically. Today I heard that they love to receive an old lady from around that has even invited many of her friends to drink the best coffee she has ever taken (and the lady had no idea about what specialty coffee was).
