The sunny coastal yang to Melbourne’s moody yin, Sydney boasts a stellar coffee scene that solidifies Australia as a global caffeine powerhouse. While the country has its share of excellent roasters, including Artificer and Single O, Only Coffee Project features brews from the world’s top roasters. It’s even borrowed a page from the cocktail industry playbook to host brew bar takeovers by admired colleagues like Differente Coffee from Colombia.
