After weeks of lockdown, my homemade coffee just wasn't cutting it anymore. I donned my mask and made the journey to Drip, a new neighborhood coffee spot I had noticed from the subway but had yet to try due to Covid. I ordered their cold brew and returned home.

I stopped by for the first time today and Nigel brewed me a perfect cup. Moreover, he was happy to walk me through all the options and discuss coffee brewing in general.
