We’re all missing our local baristas. We need good coffee now more than ever. But if you’re self-isolating and need your fix, you’re in luck – some of our local cafés are selling beans and equipment to set you up at home. It’s a great way to keep supporting them and hold you over until we can all bask in the glory of well-made coffee once again.
