Hazz
Making coffee properly in Cape Town means working around unpredictable water pressure, afternoon wind that affects espresso extraction, and customers who know the difference between a real flat white and something that just looks like one. Hazz works with local roasters and a grinder calibration routine that accounts for humidity swings between the mountain and the sea. Water quality matters here—the filtration system sees attention most places skip. During summer, when the afternoon Cape Doctor wind picks up, the technique shifts. It's not complicated work on paper, but consistency through seasonal variation is what separates a coffee that tastes different every visit from one that tastes like itself.
