Fego

Serving quality coffee in Sandton requires more than just beans and hot water. Water quality fluctuates with municipal supply; espresso machines need precise maintenance in the highveld's dry climate; and the altitude affects extraction timing and crema stability. Fego works within these realities—sourcing, grinding, and pulling shots with the kind of attention that shows in the cup. The rhythm of a proper coffee shop here involves managing afternoon energy crashes, understanding that summer heat changes how customers order (fewer hot drinks, more cold brews), and knowing your equipment inside out. It's unglamorous precision work that separates places where coffee tastes accidental from places where it tastes intentional.
