Vilakazi Espresso

When you're choosing where to spend money on coffee, the difference between adequate and genuine usually comes down to whether someone is paying attention. Vilakazi Espresso reflects what matters at this level: sourcing beans that actually have character, understanding extraction parameters rather than guessing, recognising that milk temperature affects flavour in ways most places ignore. A decent espresso machine helps, but it's useless without someone who's invested time in understanding their equipment. This is the distinction between a business that treats coffee as a transaction and one where the person pulling shots actually cares whether it tastes good. In Johannesburg, where options abound, that difference is increasingly what separates somewhere you'll return to from somewhere you'll forget.
