Buenos Aires's specialty-coffee leader in Palermo Hollywood — a third-wave roastery with light roasts, single origins, and an on-site roasting operation, geeky but welcoming. Take filter coffee (V60, AeroPress, Chemex) to taste the roasting, though the espresso is excellent too, and buy beans because they're excellent roasters. Come in the morning, when the natural-light bar is loveliest, near other good Palermo Hollywood spots. It is the antidote to the city's historic café culture — a serious, modern roaster doing single origins and proper brewing for drinkers who want the third-wave standard. For the best of contemporary Buenos Aires coffee, this is the reference point, and the beans are worth taking home.
