“

Gourmet coffee is always close at hand in Taiwan, where most purveyors — be they mom-and-pop kafei zhan (coffee shops), cookie-cutter local chains or hipster boltholes — prepare it cup by cup. In most establishments, customers select beans — roasted within the past two weeks, of course — from a range of coffee-producing regions both well-known (Brazil, Jamaica Blue Mountain) and obscure (Sumatra Mandehling, Cuba, Taiwan), which are then ground just before brewing.

The widespread use of the siphon pot is a testament to the Taiwanese obsession for a well-made cup of coffee, as only the most dedicated drinkers are willing to put up with the slow, labor-intensive process. The device is a rare sight in much of the coffee-drinking world, but in Taiwan, it’s as ubiquitous as the automatic espresso machine.

Nearly as common in Taiwanese cafes is the “iced-drip” coffee maker: three stacked glass chambers that stand up to a meter tall, within which ice melts and drips onto coffee grounds — slowly. The drip makes just four cups every six hours. Served in a tall glass with ice and sometimes capped with full-fat cream, iced-drip coffee is a full-bodied, concentrated, yet not-at-all bitter refreshment, a perfect remedy for the island’s wet, wilting summers.

“There is great coffee all over Taiwan,” says Marco Chang, a curator at the National Museum of History in Taipei, which staged a show on the history of coffee in Taiwan earlier this year. “That’s because coffee culture is part of our national heritage.”
