Best Cities To Drink Coffee

Although I believe every city is good enough to drink coffee (it has more to do with the coffee than with the city), coffee culture means different things to different drinkers.

For some, it's a quiet café, For others, coffee culture implies something more communal with espresso or cappuccino the engine grease for conversation.

Either way, the java itself - be it of the Ethiopian, Colombian or Javanese variety - must be high quality and rendered with pride. Those precious places on the map where all good coffee things meet, any aficionado will tell you, are where magic is made. Here's a shortlist of some of the world's best cities for sitting and sipping.
