Enjoyed a trip down to Glasgow a couple of weeks back armed with info from this thread! so thanks guys for the postings!
I visited coffee chocolate and tea as well as artisan roast and enjoyed the coffees from both.
For me the standout offering was from c c & t whose macchiato was great as was cappa and I also enjoyed a well prepared filter too! The vibe was friendly and laid back and I enjoyed the coffee chat! (don't get the opportunity on Skye much!). I took home a bag of Indian (not monsooned) beans as I had aeropress and mazzer mini with me! This was delicious and very fresh- tons of bloom!
Artisan's did a great ristretto and the milk drinks looked good too but their filter (v60 I think) was a little underextracted for my taste. Tasty soup too!
I also picked up a hario slim ceramic hand grinder from them (can leave mazzer at home on holiday now!) which was well priced and a bag of costa rican (bright, acidic pre 2nd roast) which went down well.
Look forward to revisiting both again and perhaps some others too!
