Coffee shops in Paris are exploding. In fact, a new one opens in Paris every 3 days, according to a recent study. That's a far cry from 20 years ago, when one cafe roasted and served specialty coffee: Le Caféothèque (which still exists!). What's going on? Why has it accelerated, and can they all be considered specialty? Coffee roaster Mihaela Iordache , formerly of Belleville Brûlerie, join me to analyze the state of things, what is and ISN'T truly specialty, and which places she keeps returning to.
