Aharon Coffee & Roasting
Curator’s note
The Giesen W6A runs inside the café rather than out back somewhere, USDA Organic since June 2022, on green arriving through a named Veracruz partner. Only the ASOPCE Guatemala gets the full treatment on paper (producer, varietal, altitude, process), while the rest of the organic shelf asks for trust in the certification alone, and no bag prints a roast date.
Formerly the Slap!, renamed after the Australian piccolo with the same espresso to milk proportion.
The coffee
Eight certified-organic coffees, every one roasted in-house on a Giesen W6A at a profile the shop holds around medium, though only the Guatemala carries a full origin block and no bag shows a roast date.

The room
The space was a dark, sloped concrete shell with no gas line, and Aharon Vaknin converted it himself: a contractor's build, down to the hand-crafted wooden counters facing the windows. He also took the dividing wall out.
