Inside The Espresso Machines Behind Arizona's Best Coffee
Great coffee does not happen by accident. Behind every memorable cappuccino or perfectly balanced cortado is a machine that delivers precision under pressure. Over the past several years, I have been documenting the espresso machines used by coffee shops across Arizona. Each one tells a story about the shop’s philosophy and commitment to quality.
This ongoing project highlights the exact machines used by real coffee shops featured in this guide. You can explore photos and cool facts behind each machine. This fun read offers a rare look at the equipment responsible for the drinks that define Arizona’s specialty coffee scene.

Why I built Arizona Coffee Shops
Hi, I am Ozzy. I built this directory after spending years exploring Arizona coffee shops and realizing how hard it was to find the truly great ones.
What Coffee Lovers are saying
A few excerpts from emails I have received from fellow coffee seekers
When I am in a new neighborhood, your website is the first thing I check. I like knowing ahead of time if a shop actually has pour over or single origin offerings. It has helped me find places I never would have discovered otherwise.

Soundtrack Coffee sits on Grand Avenue in Downtown Phoenix inside the Chilte restaurant at the Egyptian Motor Hotel. It is just west of the Roosevelt Row core but the area has its own energy. Grand Avenue leans more eclectic and industrial with adaptive reuse buildings and design forward businesses lining the corridor.
Before you even walk in, the neighborhood sets the mood. A striking Dia de los Muertos mural stands directly across the street. Two large figures with sugar skull face paint glow against a dark background. A candle and rose anchor the composition (honoring memory and spirit). It is a bold piece of public art and a fitting visual entry point for what comes next.
The Chilte building itself has a clean white brick exterior with a whimsical black silhouette of a camel and palm tree painted on the wall. Large glass windows wrap the ground floor and let you see right into the coffee space from outside. A small patio with black tables and red chairs sits out front (a solid morning spot if you want to watch the Grand Avenue foot traffic). The whole setup feels open and welcoming without trying too hard.
Inside, the artistic energy continues. A large portrait of a woman in a red luchador mask hangs on a warm wood slat wall dominates the room. Two green velvet armchairs sit beneath it. The floors are polished concrete. The furniture is a mix of wood tables and mid century style chairs. In the back wall, a gallery of smaller framed art fill the space. The vibe is loud and colorful but still comfortable enough to sit and drink coffee for a while.
Soundtrack Coffee is not a traditional cafe. It is a daytime coffee residency inside Chilte. The concept was started by Joe Ramirez in 2023 under the name Slow Pour as a home based coffee project. He taught himself how to make coffee and built a following through home pickups and private catering. Over time he renamed the project Soundtrack Coffee and leaned into a punk rock and vinyl collecting identity that now defines the brand. He popped up at local events and eventually caught the attention of Chilte's owner who was looking to activate the morning side of his restaurant and bring more energy to the space during daytime hours. The lobby style layout already had the right feel for a morning coffee concept. Ramirez was ready for the full commit to coffee. That push turned the pop up into a permanent residency in April 2026.
The menu has the usual lineup of cortados, americanos, flat whites and matcha drinks. But the specialty menu is where things get interesting. I noticed a vanilla bean and piloncillo latte, a black charcoal and black sesame caramel drink, a Mexican fried ice cream inspired drink made with Cornflake syrup and cinnamon and an ube latte with citrus bitters and optional horchata syrup. These are not typical coffee shop specials. They read more like a cocktail menu. Ramirez also makes bagels and doughnuts under a separate name (Crumb Slut) and those items rotate in.
For espresso, they pull shots on a Linear Micra machine using Moxie beans. The single origin is called "CODECH" and it is a washed Guatemala from the Bourbon varietal. The roast is designed primarily for milk based espresso but works for drip or cold brew as well. The flavor profile leans about 60% chocolate with nougat and soft tropical berry notes rounding it out. In a latte, the chocolate and nougat come through cleanly and the berry notes sit quietly in the background. It is a smooth and approachable cup that does not demand much from you. A solid choice for milk drinks.
Soundtrack Coffee is one of the newer specialty coffee concepts in downtown Phoenix. It has a clear personal origin story rooted in a home business rather than a chain or franchise model. The brand blends music culture with dessert style coffee drinks and restaurant collaboration in a way I have not seen much of in Phoenix. For now the residency is the focus but maybe it could grow into something bigger down the line. I will be watching.

Medjool Cafe is a new craft coffee and baklava bar inside Princess Pita's Midtown Phoenix location on N Central Ave. This is Princess Pita's 5th Phoenix area location and its first cafe concept. Their Instagram describes it as "coffee meets culture" with craft brews, matcha, baklava and more.
Parking is at the back of the building. As you walk toward the entrance you are greeted by a large mural painted on the cinder block wall. The artwork depicts a vibrant Mediterranean scene with three women harvesting olives from a tree. In the center a stone press pours fresh green olive oil into a ceramic jar. To the right the mural displays a glass carafe of oil, a bowl of whole olives and white doves flying against a colorful rainbow background. The piece was painted specifically for Princess Pita and it sets the tone before you even reach the door.
Walking past the mural and as you feel the sun before stepping into the shade of the patio, the air cools slightly under a wooden pergola. Large black planters line the walkway and guide you toward the glass entrance. It is a quiet transition from the busy street into a calm and secluded dining space.
Medjool Cafe sources its coffee beans from Top Cup Coffee House out in Gilbert. The house espresso uses Brazilian beans roasted dark. As my regular readers know I am a light to medium roast person and I do not have much tolerance for dark roasts. So I opted out of trying the espresso. Instead we went with the Banana Pudding Matcha and it was excellent. The flavor was spot on and I would order it again without hesitation.
We also grabbed several varieties of baklava to take home. Every single piece was incredibly flavorful. Everything we brought back was amazing and did not last long.
Medjool Cafe is easily one of the coolest new cafe spots in Midtown Phoenix. The Mediterranean atmosphere is beautiful, the baklava is worth the trip alone and the matcha proved that the drink menu has real quality behind it. I would love to come back and try the coffee if they ever bring in a lighter roast option. Until then I will be back for the baklava.

Moka & Co just opened a new location in downtown Chandler's Heritage District and it is easily one of the most visually striking coffee shops in the East Valley. If you care at all about design, walk in just for that. You will not regret it.
The space stops you in your tracks. Large floor to ceiling glass panes wrap the entrance. Inside, custom geometric wood carvings cover the walls and woven pendant lights hang overhead, all of it illuminated by soft backlighting that keeps the room warm but crisp. The barista counter is wrapped in bright marble. The furniture is sleek light wood with gorgeous woven chairs that somehow feel both minimal and comfortable at the same time. It is the kind of interior that makes you wonder who designed it and whether they do residential work. Oh, and there is a gorgeous Victoria Arduino espresso machine behind the bar. The Mesa location runs a super automatic machine. Chandler gets the Eagle One. We lucked out.
There are two outdoor seating areas, one in the front and one at the back. The front faces Chandler's Heritage District and the Crowne Plaza across the street. It is a great people watching spot with the park in view and steady foot traffic on a Friday evening. The back shares a wall with Craft 64's patio, which was absolutely packed during my visit. If you want quiet, go inside or sit out front. Indoors is remarkably calm with plenty of tables and power outlets if you need to plug in.
The area itself is one of the more walkable pockets in the East Valley. Dining, unique shops, Saturday farmers market and regular events make this a destination neighborhood worth spending a few hours in.
Now, the drinks. Moka & Co is a Yemeni specialty coffee brand with a genuine farm to cup story. The original founder comes from a family of coffee farmers in Yemen who continue to grow beans on high altitude farms to this day. That origin story is real and it matters. For the espresso, I asked the barista to show me the actual beans going into the grinder and they looked medium roast to my eye. But the shot pulled bold and dark, 18 grams at 28 seconds. My honest take is that I kept thinking about what those Yemeni beans could taste like if the roast let them speak a little more (to the lighter side). But that is my bias as someone who gravitates toward light roasts. Bold coffee drinkers will be genuinely happy here.
The Mufawar was the most interesting thing I tried. It is ground coffee mixed with cardamom, a touch of cinnamon and hints of ginger, all simmered with full fat milk or cream and strained into the cup. It arrives very hot and the cardamom leads from start to finish. It was good in its own way and it felt authentic. It is not for everyone but if cardamom is your thing, order it without hesitation.
The Adeni Chai was an unexpected highlight. I only had a small cold sample but the tea flavor was clean and dominant. Worth ordering.
The food is worth your attention too. I tried the potato samboosa, the spinach pie and the feta pie. The feta pie was the clear winner, genuinely delicious with soft dough. The spinach pie was solid as well. The pastry case also has cinnamon rolls, almond croissants and various Middle Eastern options if you want something on the sweeter side.
Moka & Co is a family's legacy poured into a cup and carried across oceans to Chandler's old downtown. They are growing fast across Arizona and based on this Heritage District location, it is easy to see why. The brand is polished, the space is beautiful and the Yemeni coffee culture they are bringing to the East Valley is something most locals are only now getting their first look at. Go for the atmosphere, stay for the Mufawar and leave some room for the feta pie.

Maleta Cafe at 147 E Adams St. in downtown Phoenix has a menu of travel inspired creative specialty lattes, house made syrups and quality beans worth seeking out. It is tucked inside the Arizona Latino Arts & Cultural Center (ALAC).
Adams St. is one of my favorite street in downtown Phoenix. It has shade, a cozy feel and one of the most spectacular murals in the city running 190 feet along the block. And now it has a specialty coffee shop that actually belongs here. Maleta Cafe feels less like a shop that rented a spot and more like something that grew out of the building itself. That is because, in a way...it did.
Owner Ms. Maria Miranda spent roughly 10 years volunteering at ALAC before she ever pulled an espresso shot there. She came in as an ASU intern and eventually helped shape the center through social media, event planning and art curation. She also brought serious coffee experience with her including time behind the bar at Aruma Cafe in Tempe. Maleta Cafe is the result of all that history and of years of travel. Her signature drinks are named after the places she has been and the flavors follow.
Walking in through the double glass doors and you get the picture quickly. On your left, small wooden bistro tables sit against a white wall covered in colorful framed artwork. Directly ahead, a large ornate gold framed portrait commands the room and tells you exactly where you are. On the right is the service area where Maria works. There is a simple bench and a small white side table nearby if you want to wait for your drink while taking in the exhibits.
But do not stop there. Once you have your coffee, keep going. The gallery opens up into multiple large rooms with plenty of seating and art covering every wall. A hallway leads you deep into the back toward a quiet nook with two accent chairs. Loop further and you pass through a photography area and a music room before coming back around to the front. Leave the laptop in the bag. Put the phone away. Every time your eye lands somewhere, there is a painting, a sculpture or an installation waiting for you. Sip your coffee and just take it in. The building has a real campus feel to it. ALAC was built in 2009 specifically because Phoenix lacked a Latino cultural center, and walking through it, that origin story makes complete sense.
Now, the coffee. The beans are from Pair Cupworks (a name this website knows well) and the current offering is a Mexican Chiapas roast with notes of chocolate, brown sugar and raisins. Maria does a single size for her lattes, which is actually a smart call and I respect that. You get a proper double shot and the right balance every time. I had the latte and it was exactly what a well made espresso drink should be. My only gripe is a personal one. I kept wishing for a natural processed beans like an Ethiopean. Something with more floral and fruity character. But that is just me being spoiled. Most people prefer the cleaner, less fruity notes that a washed coffee brings and the Chiapas delivers that really well.
My wife ordered the Cairo. It arrived with a small Egyptian flag on top and a piece of actual date fruit sitting right there in the drink. Maria told us that is how they serve it in Egypt. Something she picked up from her travels there. The caramel and cold foam finish tied it together nicely. Balanced, not too sweet and genuinely fun to look at.
And then there are the cookies. The buttered toast strawberry jam cookie has been living rent free in my head since I visited. Maria's friend bakes the goodies and they are amazing 10 out of 10! Enough said.
One more thing worth mentioning. Maria told me she is considering adding pour over service in the next few months. I noticed the Chemex already on the shelf, so it sounds like this is closer to happening than not. This is super exciting for the slow bar fans.
ALAC sits right between the Phoenix Convention Center and Symphony Hall with the Hyatt Regency across the street. It is a well positioned spot for commuters and visitors alike. And if you are visiting from out of town and happen to love murals and art, this stretch of downtown is a goldmine. The 190 foot welcome mural runs right along Adams St. and just around the corner on Central Ave. is "Timeless," a 144 foot piece on the side of the Renaissance Hotel that actually changes appearance as the sun moves across the sky throughout the day. Come for the coffee. Stay for the walls.

Fair Trade Cafe in Downtown Phoenix, AZ is a Latina owned coffee shop and community space in the heart of the Roosevelt Row Arts District. The full menu is listed below.
I first heard about Fair Trade Cafe when the owner Stephanie Vasquez appeared on Arizona Family (Channel 3). She was talking about everything being made fresh with no preservatives and I was already sold before the segment ended. Add the fact that it sits in one of my favorite parts of Phoenix and a visit was inevitable.
Stephanie opened this place in 2007. That kind of staying power in Downtown Phoenix means something. The shop operates around a "coffee with a conscience" philosophy. The coffee is shade grown, organic and fair trade sourced. The food is made in house. The mission is genuine and you can feel it in the room.
And what a room it is. High ceilings, rotating local art on the walls and a vibe that feels decorated with actual culture rather than a designer's idea of culture. Every month a different local artist gets the walls. The work is available for purchase too. It is a quiet but meaningful way to support the local art scene and it gives the space a personality that changes with the city around it.
There are two places to sit outdoors. The front area faces the street/train and has more foot traffic and energy. The back patio is tucked into an alcove behind the building and feels almost hidden. I split my time between both and the back patio was the better find. Shaded and calm. A small escape from the Phoenix sun.
Now, the coffee. The beans come directly from Cayetano Coffee, a family farm in Mexico that grows single origin beans and does not blend them. They sun dry the beans for three weeks, which is the kind of process that usually signals natural processing and all the fruity complexity that comes with it. So I had high hopes going in. I ordered the latte in the small size (worth noting that both sizes get the same number of shots) and was let down. The roast was so dark that it essentially erased everything the farm worked to build into those beans. Think of it like ordering a great steak and getting it well done. The raw material is there. The execution is not. My advice is to skip the espresso drinks entirely (unless you are a fan of dark/strong coffee).
Go for the matcha instead. I also had the Matcha Madness Flight which comes with three different matcha drinks. This was the right call. The flight includes a Maple Sea Salt matcha latte topped with sea salt cold foam, an Earl Grey matcha latte and an Ube matcha latte topped with house made ube whipped cream. All three were genuinely good but the Ube was the standout. Rich, distinct and not cloying. This is where Fair Trade Cafe shines and it is not particularly close.
I also tried the lemon bar. It is house made like all the desserts here, but it was too sweet for me to finish. That was a little unfortunate.
Service was slow but fine. Be prepared to wait five or more minutes for your drink especially in busy time. Free parking is available in the garage attached to the building from the back side. Fair Trade Cafe is a cool place to hang out in the Roosevelt Row Arts District.

Aristocrat Coffee Roasters is a new specialty coffee shop in Downtown Chandler, AZ. The menu includes espresso drinks, Greek coffee, pour-over (coming soon) and desserts.
Paul Roupas is Greek. He named his coffee shop after his favorite saxophone (which hangs proudly on the wall). He worked alongside his father in the restaurant industry for years and carries a long list of SCA certifications under his belt. And somewhere along the way he fell deeply in love with coffee. That combination of hospitality instinct and coffee nerd energy is exactly what Downtown Chandler needed.
When I walked into Aristocrat for the first time, the first thing I noticed was the machine. Sitting on the bar was a black Kees Van Der Westen Spirit espresso machine. I had seen one years ago at a coffee shop out on the west coast during my travels. I thought I would never see one again. Here it was, in Chandler. Paul knows what he is doing.
Currently, espresso is made using single origin Mexican Chiapas beans. I am not always a huge fan of Chiapas, but Paul pulled a latte that was phenomenal! The Kees does not hurt. And here is something I appreciate: hot lattes come in one size. One. If a coffee shop offers you three or four size options, that is usually not a good sign. Every size change throws off calibration and you lose the balance of the drink. At Aristocrat, you do not have to worry about that.
My wife ordered a Freddo Cappuccino (half sweet). For those unfamiliar, it is a popular Greek iced coffee made with a double shot of espresso shaken with ice and topped with thick cold frothed milk. I may have stolen a few sips when she was not looking. It was layered, creamy and perfectly sweet. I highly recommend it.
Paul is also obsessed with roasting quality. He measures the moisture content of green coffee to make sure it lands in the optimal range. He roasts on a Probat which is about as serious as it gets for heat retention and thermal consistency. This is some serious high tech equipment here.
Pour-over options are not ready as of my first visit (mid-March) but they are coming very soon. A Chemex setup is already in place and counter mounted heat lamps are already installed. That kind of detail tells you everything about what to expect.
Parking is easy. There is free street parking and a free city garage right across the street. There is also a nice patio for the cooler months.
Aristocrat Coffee Roasters is in soft opening right now. And honestly, as someone who lives in the East Valley, I find that exciting. This neighborhood does not always get first dibs on the best things. But here is a shop with a world-class espresso machine, a roaster who measures moisture content in green coffee, SCA certifications on the wall and Greek coffee on the menu. This is the kind of place that other cities brag about having. It is right here in Downtown Chandler. Go now, while it is still quiet. You will want to say you were there early.

Rosebud Bakery in Tucson, AZ has a menu full of house made pastries and specialty espresso drinks worth getting up early for. And I mean that literally.
I went in on a Sunday afternoon around 1PM and half the pastry case was already gone. The regulars know something the rest of us do not. They show up early. So take the hint: plan your visit for the morning and you will be rewarded. Go late and you will be doing the walk of shame past an empty display case.
The place itself is tiny and charming in the best possible way. You can sit right at the counter and watch the team work in an open kitchen directly in front of you. It has that rare quality where the space feels lived in and warm but not sloppy. It was packed when I got there and I completely understood why.
Now here is where I need to be upfront about something. I walked in expecting the bakery to carry the show and the coffee to just be along for the ride. I was wrong. Spectacularly wrong.
The coffee here is exceptional. Rosebud pulls their shots on a La Marzocco Linea (the real deal) and they source their beans from Ruby Colorful Coffees out of Wisconsin. My first reaction was honest skepticism. We have a ton of great roasters right here in Arizona and Tucson. Why go all the way to Wisconsin? And then I tasted the espresso.
Ruby's Creamery blend is their flagship and it earns that title. The flavor profile runs through fig, cherry, almond and dark chocolate. The blend pulls from Costa Rica, Ethiopia, Guatemala and Peru. And the name is not just branding. It genuinely produces a creamy espresso that is hard to forget. One of the best lattes I have had (and I have had a lot). They also offer only a single size for their lattes. Regular readers know what that signals to me: a perfectly calibrated drink. No guessing. No upsizing your way into a watered down mess.
I should mention the Creamery blend may be seasonal so I honestly do not know what Ruby beans they will be serving when you get there. Worth the risk either way.
On the bakery side, the Oatmeal Date Cookie was genuinely great. The Orange Cardamom Cinnamon Roll and the Asparagus Goat Cheese Galette were solid but maybe slightly below the level the hype suggests. Go with managed expectations on the savory side.
Rosebud Bakery arrived on my radar as a pastry destination. It is leaving my memory as a coffee destination that also makes good pastries. That kind of surprise is rare and it is everything. Get there early. Order the latte. Thank me later.

Firefly Organic Coffee & Market in Scottsdale has a menu built around one simple idea: clean ingredients. It sits right off the 101 at Pima Center, and it feels like a small organic coffee bar collided with a health focused pantry in the best possible way.
The coffee program runs on beans from Momentto Coffee Roasters. It is a roaster invested in sustainable, low acidity and mycotoxin free coffee. These beans will prevent the "post-cup regret" and your gut will thank you. The espresso blend (called Espresso Forte) is medium bodied and smooth. Organic milk throughout. The menu is focused. Espresso, americanos, cappuccinos, lattes. No sprawl, no gimmicks. If you are usually the person quietly hoping the shop you walked into uses decent milk, Firefly is going to feel like a relief.
Then there is the Firefly Glow Latte. Espresso, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, sea salt and a collagen boost thrown in for good measure. It is their most popular drink and I can see why people love it. Personally, I found it to be a lot of things happening at once (the cinnamon is not shy and apparently there are 8 grams of protein quietly lurking in there). Whether that sounds incredible or mildly chaotic probably tells you everything you need to know about whether it is your drink. Either way, it is fun and it is theirs.
The market side is what makes Firefly genuinely hard to categorize. Raw cow milk in glass bottles. Eggs. Grass fed beef from Arizona producers. Jars of local raw honey. It is not a full grocery store. The selection is focused and carefully chosen. What makes it different from the coffee counter inside your local Fry's is that this is a coffee shop first. A real one. Run by real people. On my visit, Ashley (who co-owns the place and is also known for her work with Jigsaw Health, a wellness and supplement company) was behind the bar making drinks herself. The product mix looks like it was curated by someone who actually uses everything on the shelf. The health culture thread runs through the whole place without ever feeling preachy.
This is not an Old Town stroll in flip flops kind of spot. Firefly lives in a business complex at Pima Center right off the freeway. For some people, the narrower menu, limited hours and single location in a business park will be a downside. For others, especially anyone trying to keep their food and drink on the cleaner side, that is exactly the appeal. If you want a well made organic latte and the ability to walk out with raw milk and real pantry staples in the same trip, Firefly is absolutely worth a visit.

Some of the best coffee spots in Phoenix are the ones you almost never find. The Commons Coffeehouse in Gilbert is one of them. It sits on the Redemption Church campus off W Elliot Rd and that single fact probably keeps a lot of people away. It should not. You do not need to be religious to enjoy this place. Nobody is going to hand you a pamphlet. Just come for the coffee.
When you enter the campus from W Elliot Rd, the coffee shop is on your left in the west side building. Look for the "Coffeehouse Open" sign visible through the glass.
The space is one of the most breathtaking I have encountered in any coffee shop in the Valley. Spacious is an understatement. The ceilings are high. The floors are terrazzo. Floor to ceiling glass walls allow the natural light to pour in generously. A cluster of black leather armchairs arranged around a deep red Persian style rug anchors one corner of the room. The rest of the seating is a mix of cafe tables and high tops.
The real showstopper is the back wall. Large glass garage style doors open fully to a wide covered patio that stretches out toward a green field. Sit on that patio. You will hear birds. Maybe a distant train. That is about it.
Behind a glass partition inside the building is a Commons Prayer Space. It is accessible from outside the shop, not from within it. There is a sign asking visitors to leave food and drink behind before entering. I did not go in but I could see it from where I sat. It was calm and quiet and honestly a bit appealing even for someone that is not religious. Think of it as a private room for contemplation. A nice extra for those who want it and completely ignorable for those who do not.
The WiFi is excellent by the way. This is a genuinely great place to sit and work.
Now the coffee. The shop sources exclusively from Saint Frank Coffee which is an acclaimed San Francisco roaster. The name comes from Saint Francis of Assisi, a figure known for finding meaning in the simple and the ordinary. That philosophy carries directly into how Saint Frank approaches coffee. They describe themselves not as technical masters but as translators, the final step in a story that begins with small scale farmers in places like Honduras and Burundi. It is a humble and sincere way to run a roastery and it shows in the cup.
The espresso is pulled from Saint Frank's Little Brother blend. It is a medium roast sourced entirely from small family farms in the Santa Barbara Mountain region of Honduras. The roaster intentionally combines specific lots from that region to maintain a consistent profile. Think of it as a regional blend where the individual farm lots each contribute something distinct to the final cup. The tasting notes are milk chocolate, caramel and honey and those come through clearly. My latte (hot, whole milk) was smooth and well balanced. I picked up the honey note in particular. Nothing aggressive. Nothing out of place. Just a clean and satisfying cup.
A quick note on sizing. Both the small and large hot lattes come with a double shot. If you are tempted by the large, consider asking for an extra shot (available for an additional charge). More milk without more espresso tends to dilute the balance and this blend deserves better than that.
The drip is pulled from Sister Moon, a medium roast Latin American blend currently featuring a 50/50 split between producers in Bolivia and Honduras. Where Little Brother leans slightly brighter, Sister Moon goes deeper with cocoa, toffee and toasted hazelnut. I tried a sample and it was smooth and approachable. A great option if you prefer a more classic coffee profile.
The Commons Coffeehouse is a rare thing. A spacious, serene and genuinely well run coffee shop with serious beans and an atmosphere that is hard to replicate. The church campus connection is a non issue once you are inside. What you will find instead is one of the most peaceful places in the East Valley to sit, sip and breathe.

Esso Coffeehouse is a hidden neighborhood roastery on 12th Street near Highland in Phoenix with a vine covered patio and in house roasted beans. The space sits on the lower level of its building tucked behind native foliage and greenery that grows along the side across from the glass panes. The plants provide a natural screen from the sun and shade the outdoor seating area. Tables and chairs are spread comfortably beneath the cover. The whole entrance has a modern yet tucked away feel that makes it easy to walk right past if you do not know it is there.
Inside, the layout is narrow with industrial exposed ducting overhead and warm ambient lighting. A beautiful geometric patterned tiling wraps the service counter and creates a focal point against the rustic wooden tables and concrete floors. It is cozy and unpretentious. The kind of room that feels right for a long quite study session or a slow morning with a friend.
The menu covers espresso drinks, specialty lattes, matcha, cold brew and some food items including pastries and breakfast and lunch options. One popular drink is the Honey Lavender Latte. For hot drinks they offer three sizes. Small and medium come with a double shot of espresso while the large gets two doubles.
One reason I had high hopes walking into Esso was the espresso machine. They use a Victoria Arduino Athena Leva. This is a lever machine where the barista physically pulls down a heavy handle to compress an internal spring. When the lever is pulled down, hot water from the boiler floods the chamber and soaks the coffee puck (this stage is the pre infusion). The barista can hold the lever for a few seconds to make sure the grounds are fully saturated. When the handle is released the spring engages and begins the high pressure extraction (usually around 9 bars). As the spring slowly expands and the lever returns to its resting position the pressure gradually declines. This declining pressure profile is the signature of the Athena Leva. The lower pressure at the end of the pull prevents bitter oils from being extracted as the coffee puck degrades. Most pump driven machines (with the exception of pressure profiling models) apply a constant 9 bars throughout the entire shot. The natural decline of a lever machine is superior because the grounds need less pressure during the second half of the extraction to maintain consistent flow.
Esso roasts their beans in house using a blend of Guatemalan, Brazilian and Tanzanian beans. The roast level runs dark. If you enjoy bold and heavy coffee with a strong roasted character you will feel right at home here. But if you are someone who prefers lighter roasts where the natural origin flavors of the bean come through (fruit, floral, citrus) you will likely find that the dark roast masks those qualities. The Athena Leva is designed to bring out subtle differences in extraction and protect the more delicate flavors in the cup. A lighter roast would let that machine really show what it can do. With a dark roast profile those technical advantages of this marvelous machine are lost.
My wife ordered the April Showers Latte from the spring menu. The flavor was good and it was well mixed from top to bottom. Not too sweet and nicely balanced overall. But after the drink was finished the dark roast made itself known. There was a lingering charcoal aftertaste that sat on the palate. If you are used to lighter coffee (as we are) you will notice it. If you prefer darker roasts this will probably taste exactly like what you are looking for.
Esso Coffeehouse has a lot going for it. The atmosphere is genuinely charming. The patio is nice. The team is warm and the drink menu has personality. I just wish the roast level gave that beautiful lever machine a chance to show off. A lighter roast on those beans would turn this place into something really special. The bones are all there.

Mis Raices Cafe is located at the edge of downtown Phoenix in the Grand Avenue Arts District. The name translates to "My Roots" and the cafe was founded by Clara Sanchez to celebrate her Mexican heritage. That spirit shows up everywhere from the colorful murals on the walls to the warm energy you feel the moment you walk in.
The menu leans into Latin inspired drinks and it is the best part of the visit. I tried the Horchata Latte and it was well balanced and genuinely good. I drank it to the last drop. I also ordered a latte with a double shot pulled from Mexican Chiapas beans (medium roast). I am typically not a fan of Chiapas beans but I enjoyed this one. They also serve a traditional Cafe de Olla for anyone looking for something classic and comforting. The beans come from local roaster Espressions Coffee Roastery.
Mis Raices is the kind of place that feels personal. It is small and honest and proudly rooted in the culture it represents. Grand Avenue has no shortage of creative spots but this one stands on its own.

King Coffee in Tempe is a gem tucked into S Mill Ave across from the ASU Art Museum & the Music Hall. The vibe is chill & unpretentious in the best possible way.
Getting there is half the fun. The front of the building has a couple of spots but they are either handicap or capped at 15 minutes. The main parking lot is behind the building and is reached through a narrow single lane passage under a canopy of massive established trees. Walking from the car to the entrance feels like a brief escape from the city. The large trees cast shade over the walkway and give the whole approach a quiet almost residential feel.
The exterior is low profile and charming. Warm exposed brick, a muted coral pink roofline and window decals keep the branding minimal. A deep overhang covers a narrow patio with small bistro tables. Three doors face you when you arrive. Use the orange one. The blue doors lead you straight behind the counter into the barista's workspace (do not ask me how I know).
Inside, the room opens up nicely. Dark exposed wood beams run across the ceiling above polished concrete floors and warm interior brick walls. Wheeled high top tables with industrial stools make the layout flexible and functional. The whole room feels productive without feeling corporate. Students with laptops, people in quiet conversation and nobody in a rush.
Now, the coffee. The owner roasts all the beans off site and brings them in fresh. The espresso blend is where things get interesting. It is a medium roast combination of Sumatran, Ethiopian and Costa Rican beans. On paper that sounds like a lot. In practice it is one of the more pleasant espresso surprises I have had in a while!
Here is why it works. Each origin is pulling its own weight. The Sumatra provides the foundation which is earthy, full bodied and low in acidity. The Ethiopian brings the brightness and the "pop" (think fruit, floral lift and complexity). The Costa Rican plays the role of balanced mediator that keeps the cup from going in any extreme direction. Medium roast is the right call here because it hits the sweet spot where the Maillard reaction (the chemical process that develops chocolate, nutty and caramel flavors during roasting) has done its work without burning off the origin character of each bean.
Then add whole milk to the equation. During a medium roast, sugars in the bean caramelize partially. When that espresso meets steamed whole milk, those caramel notes bond beautifully with the lactose in the milk. The result is a cup that is smooth and delicious. I went in with modest expectations given the blend description. I was completely wrong and happily so. This is a winning formula and I genuinely hope the owner keeps it exactly as is.
The drip gets the Colombian exclusively which is a solid and reliable choice for a filter brew. The cold brew is made from the Costa Rican beans. This makes a lot of sense given how clean and approachable this origin is when brewed cold over time.
We also ordered the Strawberry Chantilly Latte modified as a matcha. They said yes to the mod without hesitation which is quite nice. This item was from the spring seasonal menu. It is built on a house made strawberry puree (not a commercial syrup) paired with matcha. The matcha was on the stronger side but it balanced beautifully against the brightness of the strawberry. The result was a delicious drink worth coming back for specifically.
A word on syrups in general here. The regular specialty drinks may use commercial syrups, which is standard practice at most shops. But the seasonal specials are where the kitchen puts in real work with house made ingredients. Seek those out. Do not be shy about asking what is currently house made versus commercial. The difference shows up in the cup!
King Coffee is the kind of place that earns its regulars quietly. No grand gestures, no performance. Just a well considered space, a genuinely good espresso blend and a staff that accommodates without making a fuss about it. For a Mill Ave spot that could easily coast on foot traffic alone, it does not. That says a lot.
