DOCUMENTARY TRAILER: PARIS COFFEE PROJECT
For two decades, the City of Light resisted the specialty coffee boom that swept the rest of the globe and earned a reputation for very bad coffee.
The New York Times called it "ashy swill." Coffee aficionados asked "why does the coffee in Paris suck so bad?" And bloggers declared that "no self-respecting coffee drinker should have to subject themselves to overpriced Parisian sludge served with a sneer."
Now a passionate band of coffee rebels are opening indie coffee shops across the city, determined to bring good coffee and a fresh vibe to the world's most celebrated café culture.
And Paris Coffee Project sat down with each of them.
This is a documentary series for people who love coffee, Paris and young entrepreneurs who are willing to risk everything for a dream. Paris Coffee Project strives to capture this revolutionary moment — the moment when New Wave cafés took Paris by storm.
