All Sorts Cafe

Making coffee in Sandton's climate means managing heat, humidity, and water quality—variables that shift across seasons. Espresso machines need proper ventilation and consistent temperature control, especially during summer when the Highveld sun pushes interior temperatures up quickly. Water filtration becomes non-negotiable; Johannesburg's supply requires treatment before it touches expensive grinders and group heads. The grind itself changes with humidity, the steam wand needs meticulous cleaning in moisture-heavy months, and milk frothing becomes a different skill when you're working in a warm kitchen. These technical realities shape what separates a café that produces consistent shots from one that's always chasing problems.
