Drift is a smart, well-designed, edgy magazine dedicated to coffee culture. Each semi-annual issue focuses on a different place, exploring the many ways coffee is enjoyed there. Miami is the focus of this issue, celebrating both its history as a young city founded in the 19th century and rising to prominence as a destination for Latin-American and Caribbean immigrants in the 20th century, as well as its more recent rebranding as a playground for artists and creatives. Both aspects of the city's identity serve to inform and influence its unique coffee culture. This Issue Includes: A brief history of third wave coffee in the city, including local darlings Per'La, Deco, Panther, and Miami Coffee A feature on the Cuban Ventanitas and the community they serve One author's relationship with a cafe that lasted longer than her two exes who have each owned it Two stories highlighting Panther coffee and its founders: one interview with their founders, another discussing how the neighborhood of their original location Wynwood, has grown and changed around the cafe. And of course, plenty of images of gorgeous Art Deco buildings and writing contextualizing their history in the city. Photography is a significant part of the magazine, showcasing both people and places, as well as the occasional pan dulce or darkly-filled cup. Paperback. Black-and-white and color photographs throughout
