Bird Rock publishes origin, process, variety and tasting information for its rotating coffees, giving curious drinkers unusually useful context. The Little Italy bar was designed around Synesso espresso machines, a dedicated pour-over setup and batch brewing. Current bean selection rotates, so ask which coffee is on espresso and which lots are available as filter brews.
