Edinburgh's Expanding Espresso Elite
In a column last summer, I featured what I then considered to be Edinburgh's best specialty coffee places; its 'espresso elite'. These were (in no particular order) The Source, Beatnik, Lowdown, Little Fitzroy, Cult Espresso, Williams and Johnson, and Origin. That list was far from exhaustive. Pleasingly, high quality new coffee spots continue to arrive in the city, while several established places continue to serve tasty brews. This new list includes a new spot, as well as one of the city's specialty coffee pioneers. There are , it should be noted, many other places serving fine coffee in the city. What the list shows is that the availability of high quality coffee continues a steady rise. It's all part of a general shift in the UK towards coffee, evident since the 1990s. In this sense the UK is starting to resemble continental Europe where cafes are often very numerous. Despite Brexit, we are becoming more European in this aspect. It also illustrates the way in which cafes are much more than places to drink coffee; they are for many work and study hubs, and what the sociologist Ray Oldenburg termed 'third spaces' by which he meant publicly accessible locations where social interaction can take place. Ante Ante, on Haddington Place, is a compact basement coffee spot with a clear focus on standards, complementing Spry, the highly rated wine bar, on the floor above. On my first visit, my coffee was brought to me as if it was a goblet full of a liquid with immense religious significance. Though, what I imbibed did not produce a spiritual awakening, it was richly flavour-packed. My taste buds at least experienced something divine. The care and attention expended on it had been worth it. Ante is clearly a high class addition to the coffee scene. 1b Haddington Place, EH7 4AE. Cafēn Cafēn has, in a few short months created a definite buzz, not least among others in Edinburgh's coffee scene. All those I've asked have been very impressed. In all my visits, I've been served consistently excellent brews, showing off the interesting range of beans they stock. As with some of the very best places, this includes a real focus on different brewing methods, beyond espresso. The only drawback of this instant popularity is that seats can be difficult to find. It's well worth it if you can. 44 Dundas Street, EH3 6JN. Room & Rumours Room and Rumours in the Old Town initially attracted a lot of attention for its highly rated donuts but this should not eclipse the very fine coffee that they serve. This is made with skill and precision with their under the counter machine. Room and Rumours rotate the coffees they are using, changing every few weeks. These have included beans by Clifton Coffee, based in Bristol, and Girls Who Grind; an all female roastery. More recently, they've offered Hundred House Coffee, ethically sourced from sustainable, eco-conscious growers from around the world. In all cases, the quality of the coffee served has been outstanding, a testament to the consistency of their friendly and knowledgeable baristas and the well chosen beans. Arch 13, 25 East Market Street, EH8 8FS. Artisan Roast Artisan Roast, established in 2007, is one of Edinburgh's specialty coffee pioneers. I left Artisan Roast off the list last year as I felt there was a degree of inconsistency across its four venues. This seems to have been addressed and over the last few months I've been served superb cups at all four. I'd pick out their Bruntsfield Place location as consistently the best of the bunch, while their original Broughton Street branch has a distinct bohemian vibe. It's good to see that they have maintained a strong position after all these years. 138 Bruntsfield Place, EH10 4ER. Detour Espresso This place is marked by its lively, welcoming vibe. Manager Matt Rees has created an engaging place that attracts a substantial band of regulars. Many of them are students and academics from the university, on the other side of the Meadows. Detour is something of a creative hub, with a writers group meeting there, regular art exhibitions and a well curated selection of books available. Their customers are attracted by the interesting music choices, the varied discussion and banter – and by the coffee. This has, I feel, gone up a notch or two in recent years. A tribute to a small, well trained barista team. 39 Argyle Place, EH9 1JT. Fauna Fauna, and its sister café (Heart and Bottle, near Holy Corner) make excellent use of beans by the highly rated London-based Redemption Roasters. Redemption helps provide 'prison leavers with the skills they need to gain secure and meaningful employment'. Fauna's Turkish/ Greek pastries make a great accompaniment to their coffees: especially their very moreish cinnamon dusted vanilla bougatsa. The café itself is long and thin, with an uncluttered feel. The minimalist décor creates a cool and calming atmosphere on a bustling city centre street. Fauna's arrival was part of a post-Covid revival for specialty coffee in the centre of Edinburgh. 19a Queensferry Street, EH2 4QW. Cairngorm Cairngorm in Melville Place is one of the most elegant places to drink specialty coffee in Edinburgh. Cairngorm is also close to Dean Village and other fantastic spots to wander towards, clutching a cup of one of Cairngorm's well crafted brews in your hand. Established in 2014, Cairngorm manifests some of the trends we see in the coffee scene, including a general mainstreaming of specialty coffee. Cairngorm's original basement bar on Frederick Street, which eventually closed in 2023, opened when specialty coffee was something new and edgy. Specialty coffee is no longer an underground movement – literally in Cairngorm's case. 1 Melville Place, EH3 7PR. Like this: Like Related

CNN Bets More of Kaitlan Collins' White House News Hustle Can Power ‘The Source'
By day, CNN's Kaitlan Collins wears out shoe leather at the White House, trying to get the latest details on any number of eyebrow-raising policies coming out of the Trump administration. By night, she holds forth from a shiny Washington studio, far from the fray. CNN hopes to inject a little of the reporter's daytime routine into her nighttime one. More from Variety CNN to Exclusively Air George Clooney's Record-Breaking Broadway Hit 'Good Night, and Good Luck' Live for Free CNN Hopes to Gain Sustenance From Tony Shalhoub's 'Breaking Bread' CNN's Newest Streaming Product Set to Debut in Fall Collins is expected to leave her studio perch and host her 9 p.m. program, 'The Source,' from the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed outlet's Washington, D.C., newsroom, a move that could take place as soon as Tuesday evening. The hope is that the change in setting will give viewers a more kinetic presentation that reminds them of Collins' unique place at the network — it is rare for someone assigned to a busy news beat, in this case that of chief White House correspondent, to also have responsibility for leading a primetime hour all week. 'I don't know if you've ever been there, but it's not a very chill place. There's always something going on,' says Collins during a recent interview of the show's new setting. And that's a better home for what the program provides. 'The Source' hinges on Collins' ability to get newsmakers on the show for candid talk, and in recent days, those guests have included Rep. Dan Crenshaw and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. 'We do much more of a reporting focus, so it's a natural setting for a show that is focused pretty much around what we're hearing, what's happening at the White House or a lot of big moments are happening on the Hill late at night,' says Collins. 'It will be less like a chic, glossy, bright set.' CNN continues to burnish its reporting as it faces spirited partisan opinion fare from its two main rivals, Fox News Channel and MSNBC, that lures bigger audiences. Collins has been assigned a pivotal role in that ongoing skirmish. At 33 years old, she is one of the youngest occupants of the network's top White House role as well as the inhabitants of its 9 p.m. hour, a slot that has previously been occupied by Larry King, Piers Morgan and Chris Cuomo. After breaking out with aggressive coverage of Donald Trump's first term in office, she has increasingly been chosen to shoulder some of CNN's bigger assignments, including an ill-fated morning show and a much-scrutinized town hall with then-candidate Donald Trump. The changes to Collins' show aren't the most surprising the network has ever tested — does anyone recall the quiz shows backed by previous CNN chief Jeff Zucker? — but they show an effort to shake off the network's image as a staid purveyor of the headlines and engage more viewers in an era when CNN's ability to do so is under great scrutiny. CNN's overall primetime viewership fell 6% during the first quarter, and was off 1% among the audience advertisers favor most, people between 25 and 54. Some of the audience numbers the network captures these days have been cause for alarm. The network's most-watched show among the demo audience, 'Anderson Cooper 360,' nabbed an average of just 135,000 viewers in that category during the first quarter. 'The Source' typically ranks third in viewership against Fox News Channel's 'Hannity' and, most recently, against MSNBC's new 'The Briefing with Jen Psaki.' And while more of the viewers CNN might like to watch are getting their news via streaming video, mobile devices and social platforms, the network hasn't ceded the battle — even though executives have seemed in recent months to have their eye more closely on launching products aimed to capture digital audiences. Under CEO Mark Thompson, CNN has experimented with other new concepts, including the argumentative panel program 'News Night' and Saturday night's 'Have I Got News For You,' which mixes humor and games with the headlines. It's part of a bigger strategy. Much of CNN's daytime schedule is devoted to 'News Central,' a concept that turns the anchors into conductors who bring live video, statistics and breaking-news scenes into the mix. These ideas are meant to give CNN viewers something extra in an era when many news executives acknowledge traditional presentations are losing their ability to captivate large crowds. Collins' dual role at the CNN 'sets her apart and plays to her many strengths — tenacity, insight, dry humor and amazing grace under pressure,' says Thompson, via an emailed statement. The new format of 'The Source,' he adds 'is built around Kaitlan's unique role not just as an outstanding anchor but the hard-working reporter who's determined to stay close to the action.' Such maneuvers aren't just aimed at keeping traditional audiences interested. These are all nods to the demands of a younger generation that is accustomed to seeing presentations that are decidedly less polished and don't always hinge on an anchor behind a desk. Fox News has put opinion host Will Cain behind a large microphone, for example, in a late-afternoon hour that emulates the look of a video podcast. Collins says she is mindful of meeting that audience on its own ground. 'We share so much of our stuff on social media, with Instagram, TikTok obviously X as well,' she says. 'I was in the Zelensky Oval Office meeting, and it blew up with Trump. We came out, we recorded a video, and we posted it. And it got, like, bonkers. I do think there is a value. So many people are getting their news online these days and from social media.' Her role is a demanding one, but Collins seems too busy to really entertain the question of whether she's too busy. During the day, she might try to flag down lawmakers or White House officials who turn up at the White House and has had to muscle through moments when late-breaking news keeps her on Pennsylvania Avenue even as airtime draws close. One White House press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went until 7:45 p.m. in the evening, she recounted, 'and then I'm racing to the bureau to get back in time.' Her current job 'is very high intensity and at a high pace, but you make it fun when you love the news.' CNN's viewers will get to vote on whether her efforts give 'The Source' a new jolt.

Mom of slain Idaho victim Xana Kernodle asks for help attending Bryan Kohberger trial
The Brief The trial for accused quadruple-killer Bryan Kohberger is scheduled to begin in a couple months. Families of the victims are facing financial impacts of temporarily relocating to Boise for the trial. Friends and families have started GoFundMe pages to help. We spoke with the family of Xana Kernodle about what is next for them. IDAHO - The mother of one of the four University of Idaho students murdered is now asking for financial help to attend Bryan Kohberger's trial, the man accused of killing her daughter. In November of 2022, Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves were stabbed to death. A friend of Xana's mom, Cara Northington, started a GoFundMe to make sure Cara can make the 400-mile journey from North Idaho where she lives to Boise, where the trial is scheduled to happen this summer. "She's hurt, and all of these families are hurt," Lori Scott, who started the GoFundMe said. The trial is expected to last three months. What they're saying "Everybody had, like, people raising money for them, and I just noticed that she hadn't asked for anything," Scott said. "The loss of my beautiful daughter Xana has been the hardest thing I never thought I would have to endure. If you are not able to donate, prayers are even more appreciated. My hope is that truth and justice through God will be accomplished," Xana's mom said in a statement. "Even though I've lost my child, I can't imagine losing a child in the way that she has even more than me, and I just wanted to make it so she could be there for the trial, because that's important, that she be able to see for herself that justice is being served," Scott said. She told Fox 13, Xana's mom has been blown away by the support. "She's just really sweet and appreciative," Scott said. "The people that are donating for this are actually the heroes, they're helping her get there, and it means the world to her. it really means the world to her." She adds, the ultimate goal is to raise $50,000. Those funds will cover any and all of Cara's expenses as she takes off from work and relocates from North Idaho to Boise during the duration of the trial. The family of Kaylee Goncalves also has a GoFundMe to help them attend the trial. Madison Mogen's family also has a GoFundMe to help them attend the trial. Sunday, May 25th also marked Madison Mogen's birthday. Her loved ones have deemed it 'Maddie May Day.' It's a day dedicated to spreading kindness in her honor. On Facebook, the Goncalves Family said: "Maddie is the funniest, most genuine, kindhearted, & loving person. Her laughter is so contagious I can still hear it sitting here now. Maddie taught me the power of an open heart & true kindness. Maddie never held back on love & I hope one day I can be more like her. Thank you for everything, Maddie. I love you. I miss you more every day. Happy birthday sister." What's next Jury selection is scheduled to begin on July 30th. Kohberger's trial is expected to start on August 11.
