    KAU pastrami house
    Av. Duque de Ávila 38H, 1050-083 Lisboa insta Of course, Let's pastrami is forever in my heart, but this time we tested a relatively new place. A project by Portuguese Rui Matias, they started with festivals and pop-ups. The meat just melts, fatty, juicy, although I prefer leaner options, but let's say it's a different style of pastrami, from brisket, and I liked it. The menu consists of three positions - three sizes of sandwiches. I hope the guys will work on the bread, but otherwise - good! #kaupastrami #lisbon

    Lisbon coffee week
    For the second time at a more or less large coffee event in Lisbon (the first - the world aeropress championship 2024). Extremely friendly atmosphere, cuppings, barista battles, a sea of coffee, good and not so good. I was interested in trying new roasters and being aware of the assortment of those I know. From the interesting things - a whole stand with different brands from the Czech Republic (I liked Mexico from Bean Smith's), guys from Barcelona Right Side, Ecuadorian bean-to-bar chocolate Paccari, Latvian kombucha Rudy's (mandarin with basil top). Also attended a cupping from Berlin's Five Elephant - there were a couple of decent basic coffees (Indonesia Pantan Musara), but overall without emotions. I noticed that for evaluating the aroma of dry coffee, new devices are being used (in 3 photos). Took home chocolate, a pack from Senzu (their stand was among my favorites, exceptional lot Colombia Pitalito - clear notes of guava, starfruit, mind-blowing bubblegum), a signature coffee mug. #coffee #senzu #rightside #fiveelephant #coffeeweek
