Dripp - Costa Mes

Dripp is probably the best coffee shop in the greater Los Angeles region for one thing they offer that no other coffee shop in the area offers a super consistent V60 pour over. They use a programmable V60 water delivery system paired with a pk100 flat burr grinder to brew their pour overs, and the result is a very sweet, nuanced cup with a lot of flavor clarity. I usually enjoy the coffee straight, as it doesn't need additional sugar or milk to be an enjoyable experience. If you have a bit of time to sit and really taste a cup of coffee for what it is, give this place a try.

Nice service, though the line grows quickly with commensurate wait times. My Ethiopian pour over was quite good, just not nearly worth the price and wait.

Maybe we went on a bad day but we waited outside for a while before we could order even though they open at 10am. They told us eventually that the doors couldn't open but just wish they told us earlier or put up a sign to let us know. The drinks were good/decent but imo they are a little pricey compared to other coffee places.

I always look forward to stopping by Dripp and trying a new coffee. The spot is a little off the beaten track but most worthy of a detour if you're in South Coast Plaza. The coffee is smooth, the staff is friendly and the shop is clean.

Service was super slow and they didn't even call out my name when my order was ready. Had to ask and pointed to a drink that had been on the counter. When I got to my Pink Sunshine it tasted bland and watered down. Disappointing experience to say the least as it wasn't even crowded.
