Drift is a smart, handsome, edgy magazine dedicated to coffee culture. Each semi-annual issue focuses on a different city, exploring the many ways coffee is enjoyed in each. This salute to the City by the Bay points out, in the words of editor Adam Goldberg, that "With its damp, chilly mornings and rolling hills that peek through a dense blanket of fog, San Francisco provides the perfect backdrop for cup after cup of hot, freshly brewed coffee." With profiles of local roasters and shops, as well as some of the city's signature drinks and features on coffee-shop intensive neighborhoods, ruminations on the appeal of cold-brew and the significance of encountering a queue at one's favorite shop, and a look at the role of coffee houses in gentrification, among other articles, Drift complements its photographically-rich portrait of San Francisco in an appealing and intelligent way.
